These are my suggestions of bands and happenings that you don't want to miss during Viva. Some are suggestions, like the Jive lesson, but the music acts are what I am not going to miss while I am there.
Thursday
2:00 PM Sweet Pea's Hooch-n-smooch Bienville Room
8:00PM Lil' Mo & the Dynaflos Ballroom
11:30 PM Modern Don Juans Ballroom
12:00AM Hi-Qs (I know it's an overlap!) Bienville Room
1:00 AM Los Straightjackets Ballroom
Friday
1:00-4:00 PM Sophia Wolff's Jiving Class Ballroom
5:00 PM Charles Pheonix Slide Show Showroom
(tickets at box office during the day) 8:30 PM The Horton Brothers Ballroom
10:30 PM Jessie and the Orbits Beinville Room
12:15 AM Big Sandy and Los Straightjackets Beinville Room
1:45 AM Sureshots Ballroom
Saturday
4:00 PM Blasters Car Show
6:00 PM Jerry Lee Lewis Car Show
8:00 PM Rhythm Shakers Ballroom
9:00 PM Gizelle Ballroom
11:00 PM Sonny Burgess and the Pacers Ballroom
2:00 AM The Caezars Ballroom
Sunday
Daytime: Tiki Pool Party The Pool
6:00 PM Roy Rapid and the Rhythm Rock Trio Brendens
6:30 PM Jive Contest Ballroom
9:30 PM Kim Lenz and the Jagauars Ballroom
11:30 PM Rockabilly Stars Ballroom
This is my preferred list, although I will probably skip the jive lesson and I will squeeze in Frankie's Thursday late afternoon. Sorry burlesque fans, I would rather be watching bands play.
If you are getting into Vegas on Wednesday, try to get to the Wild! Records Pre-party at The Las Vegas Country Saloon, 425 Fremont Street, Downtown Las Vegas.

Fun! I just uploaded all of my posts for what to do on (insert day here), and will post one a day. It would have been so much easier to do it all in one post like you! Love it.
See you soon,
haha...yeah a kind of lazy...can't commit to posting every day! See you in 8 days, sugar! Miss Dorian is riding out with me <3
Thanks for the props Kim! I didn't know we'd be up against the Don Juans...
Must be Matt, Mr. Rivethead....
I know the overlap sucks, but I will catch the first 35 minutes of their set (probably 40 minutes) and then miss the first 5 minutes of yours. Then the time will be equally disbursed between the two bands.
Woah...I am totally OCD
I also just posted links to most of the bands websites so people can listen to their music to help decide- http://tartdeco.blogspot.com/2011/04/viva-las-vegas-series-16-music.html
I saw that...these are my recommendations based on the bands I like and want to see live :-)
