Leading figure in electronic music, deadmau5 returned to Las Vegas last night with an explosive set that filled the world renowned XS Nightclub with his signature pulsing sounds alongside celebrity revelers.  The themed party “Ghosts N Stuff” was carried throughout the venue as cocktail servers dressed as the walking dead and enormous one of a kind video screens surrounding the stage flashed spooky images instilled with the XS logo. Even deadmau5 played into the holiday spirit sporting a tacky Hawaiian shirt and accessorized the ensemble with a bucket hat, fly swatter and pipe creating an outrageous tourist look.

The night began with a special pre-shift pep talk from deadmau5 himself to rev up more than 100 costumed staff members for what would be an incredible evening ahead. Doors opening shortly after 9 p.m. and thousands of partygoers poured into the mega club.

DJ Le Castle Vania opened the Halloween celebration with a set that shook the venue to its core ensuring was all partygoers were amped for the set ahead. Within two hours, XS reached its capacity and the crowd was ready for the Mau5 to take the stage.

Shortly before 1 a.m. Le Castle Vania led thousands of excited fans in a countdown to welcome the electronic music visionary to the stage. As the crowd hit one, smoke erupted from stage and the mouse head appeared.  Deadmau5 kicked off his highly anticipated set donned in his signature headpiece, this evening’s creation resembling cheese with missing holes in the ears, and began to drop tracks as the venue revealed its high-tech production with laser lights and LED screens streaming video surrounding by skulls and crossbones fitting for the holiday spirit.

After he crafted a few tracks on the fly, Sofia "Sofi" Toufa joined him onstage to lend her intoxicating vocals to the set as he transitioned into the song Sofi Needs a Ladder. Supporting her performance from the stage was boyfriend and Mötley Crüe member, Tommy Lee, who is also a longtime friend to deadmau5. Sofi, dressed as the Queen of Hearts, and Tommy, dressed as a devil, were seen on stage throughout the evening, tweeting out cute pictures to their many followers.

The tantalizing performance was bound to have a celebrity presence as Holly Madison and Angel Porrino were capturing the set from the exclusive on-stage table.  The starlets from reality series Holly’s World were dressed to the nines as Holly wore a sexy Minnie Mouse costume with glowing ears, two piece polka dot ensemble, and bright yellow Louboutin pumps. Also joining the festivities was Phil Ivey, a notable American professional poker player who has won eight World Series of Poker bracelets.

As the evening turned into morning, there was no end in sight to deadmau5’s unforgettable set. His fluid tracks continued and finally, the song of the hour and inspiration behind the party’s theme, Ghosts N Stuff pumped through the speakers as a cloud of confetti came cascading from the ceiling. From pool deck to dance floor, not a body was still as partygoers became immersed in the chart topping hit.

Dawn finally approached and the Halloween celebration came to an end as deadmau5’s performance at XS will undoubtedly be dubbed the party of the year.
