No matter what the tourism board decides, the slogan for Las Vegas will always be “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” However, country music is often about a breakup 😭 and Midland offers up a clever delivery for a relationship that started in Vegas and ended when “what happens in Vegas, doesn’t stay in Vegas.” After three days, the woman got on a plane and went back to her normal life, leaving the narrator of the story probably regretting he ever went to Vegas at all.

A few years ago this song would be called a relic of country music’s past. It’s certainly not bro-country. It’s not pop. In fact, I’d say it’s probably not even radio friendly… which makes it so refreshing! With a style more suited to late 80s or 90s country music, Midland seems to have a product here that fans are really loving (based on the YouTube comments, at least). I wouldn’t be surprised if this song is received very well when they perform it at their Vegas concert in December. However, I think the guys missed the mark on the way they marketed it in this Instagram post…
Not exactly the song that’ll get you hyped up to hit the blackjack table or take a chance on waving hello to the pretty person sitting across it. But still, great nostalgic sound reminiscent of one of my favorite lost-love country songs. Anyone remember Kenny Chesney’s best, “Anything But Mine”? Another song that shares a story of a summer love that, when it’s over, hits you in the gut but in the best possible way.
