The casino also plans to take the show outside in the summer months. “The demand for those guys was out of this world,” Taube said, adding that tickets sold out so quickly they gladly would have added a second show if it were possible.

The casino is offering an evening with the cast of the cult cable show “Impractical Jokers” on Feb. But you can only bring the same people back around so many times.”Įxpect to be “pleasantly surprised,” Taube said, about the mix of contemporary and classic acts booked at Treasure Island in the coming months. “We’re traditionally known for classic rock and country, and comedians do really well here, too. “In the last six to nine months, we started looking at what we were doing with our music, who we were bringing in,” Taube said. In February, Treasure Island opened the $19 million Lagoon Water Park and Wave Spa and an $86 million project already underway will add another 300 hotel rooms to the property. That warm reception led the casino to rethink its entertainment approach for 2017, particularly as it attempts to further establish the casino as a destination. Rachel Platten, whose single “Fight Song” went triple platinum, has a stop booked at the casino on Jan. Last year, Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, multiplatinum hip-hop star Flo Rida, “Tik Tok” hitmaker Kesha and singer/songwriters Gavin DeGraw and Andy Grammer were among the acts to play the venue. Of the two major metro-area casinos, Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake has been more aggressive in booking contemporary acts, particularly since it opened its new Mystic Showroom a decade ago. “(We want to attract) an audience that doesn’t necessarily have Treasure Island at the top of their mind.” The massive stage at Mystic Lake Casino measures about 150 feet wide by 48 feet high and 44 feet deep, with a quick-change area off to the side (in case Cher stops by.) “It’s a different avenue to expose people to Treasure Island,” said public relations manager Cindy Taube. That, says casino operators, is the whole point.

But Friday night, they are playing a venue probably off the radar of many of their fans - Treasure Island Casino in Welch, Minn., about 40 miles southeast of St. They returned to the Twin Cities in July to play the Basilica Block Party and then landed a track on the annual “Cities 97 Sampler.”Īt this point, one would assume multiple clubs and theaters around the Twin Cities would welcome X Ambassadors as headliners. In April, the group headlined the Myth in Maplewood. The Red Hot Chili Peppers-influenced rock band released their gold-selling debut album, “VHS,” in 2015 and watched its three singles - “Jungle,” “Renegades,” “Unsteady” - hit the charts around the world, with “Unsteady” going double platinum in the U.S.
