Las Vegas Air Guitar
Airness is a difficult quality to describe, but these lovely ladies definitely have it. Watch as they compete in an air guitar competition held Saturday at Tommy Rocker's.The event, hosted by the Las Vegas Air Guitar Association, qualified competitors for the U.S. Air Guitar regional, which will be held May 28 at the Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip.
An activity previously intended only for teens taking care of the house while their parents were away has vaulted to the forefront of pop culture marginalia. It only makes sense—after all, literally anyone can do it. And even if they won’t admit it, literally everyone has tried it. Yep, there’s no shortage of air-guitar enthusiasts, and they’re decamping, en masse, to the Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip to show the world that they’re not losers, nerds or dweebs—they’re hardcore wannabe rockers (there is a huge difference!).
Calendar
- Air Guitar Regional Finals
- May 28, 9 p.m., $20
- Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip
When all the gyrating, finger-flying, sweat-pumping action is over, one lucky contestant will be New York-bound, to compete in the U.S. Air Guitar Championships, and could eventually represent their country at the World Air Guitar Competition in Finland. Be the first to say you were there when someone who couldn’t cut it at Guitar Hero aped Pete Townshend.
