Big Ball’s in Cowtown is coming to life Dec. 7-16 in Las Vegas at the Tropicana as the theme song for Gary Leffew’s Bucking Ball. The Texas Jamm Band will open up their set nightly with the song. Hoyle Nix wrote “Big Balls in Cowtown” in 1949 and first recorded and released it with West Texas Cowboys. In 1966, Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys established this song’s reputation. On November 2, 1993, George Strait released it with Asleep at the Wheel.
Gary Leffew’s Bucking Ball with a Texas-size dancehall is the place, and the Tropicana is the hotel to stay at with rooms rates starting at $45 weekdays. Stay, drink and dance all in one place for ten nights of partying.
