4.0 out of 5 stars CD-ROM drive, January 9, 2003

I just wanted to comment on the issue raised by the previous reviewer about whether or not this disc plays in computers- I bought this CD, and it DOES play in my computer's CD-ROM drive, so it apparently works with some computers and not with others.

4.0 out of 5 stars Swank..., September 25, 2002

I'm a big fan of the Ultra-Lounge series, especially the vocal and tv-themed issues. "Vegas, Baby!" continues the fine Ultra-Lounge (Grammy-winning) tradition of outrageous packaging and 60's cheeseball music. If you like "Swingers," the Rat Pack, or the decadence of Vegas and its showtune-style in general, this is the CD for you.

No album with the name "Vegas" in the title would be complete without the vocal stylings of Sammy Davis, Jr., Dean Martin, Tom Jones, or, of course, Wayne Newton. Yep, we've got "Danke Schoen," we've got the quintessential Tom Jones Vegas tune "It's Not Unusual," and we've got the "theme song" from the original "Ocean's Eleven": Dino singing "Ain't That a Kick In the Head."

The only downside is that this album is similar in theme and overlapping in tunes with the "Wild, Cool & Swingin'" albums that Ultra-Lounge has previously put out. I own both of those, but I thought there was enough new music to make this purchase worthwhile.

This is the soundtrack for cheesy, wonderful, 60's Vegas. Plus, the "Limited Edition" version you're looking at has a fuzzy craps-table felt exterior with a little roulette wheel in the center. All this and a Bobby Darin bonus track. "It is betting time!"

5.0 out of 5 stars WHOA!, August 30, 2003

This review is from: Ultra Lounge: Vegas Baby (Audio CD)

Believe when I say that I can't believe that I'm now a FAN of this type of music. You'll want to turn your stereo louder and louder still... Until you disappear into a Vegas showroom.

Each track bursts with the aura of that time and gives you a new respect for another interpretation of what those old black jazz musicians created for this country to really enjoy!
