Air Supply Returns to Las Vegas' Orleans Showroom This Weekend

Following a successful engagement earlier this year, Air Supply returns to the stage at The Orleans Showroom for three shows this weekend, August 29, 30 and 31.

Englishman Graham Russell and Australian Russell Hitchcock met in 1975 while performing in the Australian production of "Jesus Christ Superstar." Later that year, the duo formed Air Supply and released their first smash hit and self-titled debut album, reaching gold in Australia. After opening for Rod Stewart's tour in the United States in the late '70s, Air Supply had an international breakthrough and signed a distribution deal with Arista Records in 1980.

Their album, "Lost in Love," featured three U.S. Top 5 singles, including the title track, which was the fastest-selling single in the world; "Every Woman in the World"; and "All Out of Love." Over the next three years, Air Supply produced hit after hit, including "Just Another Woman," "The One That You Love," "Here I Am," "Sweet Dreams," "Even The Nights Are Better" and "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All," which reached #2 on the Billboard charts in 1983. They released "Mumbo Jumbo" in May 2010, and the single "Sanctuary" was released in December 2011.

With 30 albums and more than 15 hit singles, Air Supply is known as staple of early '80s radio and renowned around the world. In 2008, Air Supply was named #83 on Billboard's top 100 musical acts of all time, making them the only Australian band on the list.

Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets are available starting from $39.95 plus tax and fees. Tickets can be purchased at any Boyd Gaming Box Office, by calling 702.636.7075, or by visiting www.orleanscasino.com.
