The band seems to be attached to 70's hard rock like Aerosmith, AC/DC, and others. They borrow extensively from the bands of the 70's and have a penchant for being dramatic.

The band released their first record, "Lick 'Em and Leave 'Em" on independent distributor Get Hip Records in 2003, which was met with critical success, allowing them to establish a cult following across Europe. From that time onward, The Last Vegas has toured persistently, releasing three more albums and headlining concerts in over 17 countries worldwide. Their newest album (self-titled) brings back memories of kids in the late 60's-early 70's jamming away in the garage or basement. Its raw and a little rough around the edges, but good none the less.
