Vegas (Sleeper song)

In March 1995, it was released as the fourth and final single from Sleeper's debut album, Smart, where it followed the success of "Inbetweener" by peaking within the UK top 40.

[2] The single release of "Vegas" was backed with a number of specially recorded B-sides, including a cover of the Pretenders "Hymn to Her".

[3] Louise Wener explained to the band's official fanzine that "Vegas" was about "this guy who lives in a really dingy bedsit in Peckham who's really lonely", adding that he saves up his money to fly to Las Vegas, gambles it away and meets Frank Sinatra.

[4] For the single release of "Vegas", the band went into the studio to completely re-record the track with record producer Bruce Lampcov.

[6] The impersonator agency did not have enough Elvises to meet the needs of the production, so sent their Humphrey Bogarts and Clint Eastwoods to make up the numbers, who were reportedly unhappy at having to dress as Elvis.
