Options Combined with Mesmerizing Music
Tulalip, Washington – Tulalip Resort Casino knows how to translate the feelings of love. From events like the Rock Ballad Ball featuring Guns N’ Roses and Aerosmith tribute bands; to seven award-winning food and beverage outlets that feature Valentine inspired Sous Vide Lobster Medallions or Asian-infused dining fare, Tulalip Resort Casino has just what the love doctor ordered.
The Rock Ballad Ball is an out of the box extravaganza offered to the young – and the young at heart. This annual February 14th Valentine’s Day party includes a concert of tribute bands (Appetite for Deception and Aeromyth) featuring music from legendary greats Guns N’ Roses and Aerosmith. Doors open at 6:30 pm with DJ tunes. Dinner starts at 7 pm in the Orca Ballroom where guests can savor a buffet spread offering a selection of two salads, chicken or prime rib entrees, a selection of side dishes (grilled vegetables, penne pasta, mashed potatoes), assorted desserts and coffee/tea. Admirers and their main squeezes can dance the night away to rock pounding sounds starting at 8 pm.
Aeromyth has become known as the top Aerosmith Tribute band worldwide! Playing nationwide as well as International dates such as Mexico, Canada and El Salvador since 2002. Chris Vandahl does an amazing portrayal of Steven Tyler, including all of his dance moves, costumes, stage show and amazing recreation of Tyler’s outrageous vocals! Chris looks so much like Steven Tyler that many people make the mistake of thinking he really is the Aerosmith front man! The band that backs Chris is truly amazing as well, very solid and tight, recreating the music fans know and love – note for note! For more information about the band, visit aerosmithtribute.com.
Appetite for Deception fans are blown away by the attention to detail and variety of material this band delivers. Appetite for Deception strives for authenticity in all aspects of their live performance – the gear, clothes and precision of the songs included. Everything is in place to take the listener and viewer back to the heyday of Guns N’ Roses. Nearly 20 years to the date of Guns N’ Roses’ formation, Appetite for Deception was put together in Portland, Oregon by five musicians looking to continue their great legacy. The tremendous catalog of music helps to make every show a roller coaster ride of high energy and intense emotion as the memories of that era are brought back to life.
