The fun continued on Saturday, April 4 with another pool party.
Country and music enthusiasts gathered for the bash, held within the property’s tropical pool area. The crowd was abuzz as Dee Jay Silver kicked off the event, playing today’s top hits with light infusions of country tunes. Following, Silver welcomed Uncle Kracker to the poolside stage. The artist played several of his fan favorites, including “Follow Me,” “Nobody’s Sad On a Saturday Night,” and more, as the audience danced and sang along. The afternoon was complete with cowboy hats, Corona Extra and cocktails infused with Blue Chair Bay® from Chesney’s Caribbean-inspired line of premium rum. As the sun went down, partygoers made their way across the casino for Chesney’s show at The Joint.
