Iggy Pop proved to be the ultimate "Halloween in Las Vegas" act for Vegoose, leading his merry band of Stooges through a recreation of their classic 1970 album, 'Fun House.' It was a musical costume of sorts and Pop, always the entertainer, seemed endlessly amused by it. Never one to respect authority, Pop encouraged the audience to crash the gate and join him in his energetic stage thrashing. "Come on up here and dance with the Stooges!" he commanded. "Let them up!" Most security guards disregarded his instructions, ineffectively trying to keep order as kids piled onstage for good, harmless bopping around. "No fun!" Pop sang repeatedly, during the song of the same name, grinning as he watched fans make it onstage past the grasp of the guards.

After the song, Pop triumphantly introduced the stage-crashers as "The wonderful Las Vegas Casino Dancers!" Fans shuffled offstage without incident.
