CasaPoolooza is a spectacular five-concert series held at the CasaBlanca Resort-Casino-Spa Lagoon Pool. CasaPoolooza has drawn record crowds over the years and it’s no wonder; guests can enjoy libations and entertainment under the stars in a relaxing, poolside setting.
On Saturday, Sept. 3 approximately 1,700 people partied by the pool. The dance floor was full and empty lounge chairs were being grabbed up within seconds for the free concert sponsored by Mesquite Gaming.
The final CasaPoolooza of the 2016 season was enjoyed by both young and old. Wolf Creek Band rocked the enormous crowd of people who came out for the last blast of summer in Mesquite.

Wolf Creek, originated by lead vocalist and bassist JR Davenport, indicates the base of Wolf Creek’s music is country, yet they have developed into one of the hottest Southern Rock n’ Roll acts in Las Vegas, playing a variety of classic rock material in their sets.
There was no doubt that the band was on fire. The final CasaPoolooza drew crowds from Salt Lake City, UT to Las Vegas all to Mesquite for a rocking Labor Day weekend; many of them fans who have followed the band for several years and some were first time pool partiers who came just to see Wolf Creek Band.
