The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas welcomed Canadian rock band Barenaked Ladies for a special performance at Boulevard Pool. Known for their mix of folk, pop, rock and humoring songs, the internationally known ‘90s band out of Canada kicked off the night performing famous hits such as “If I Had A Million Dollars,” “Get Back Up,” “One Week” and “Pinch Me.”

Scottish Australian musician and actor Colin Hay rocked the crowd before old school acoustic punk band Violent Femmes took the stage playing a mix of folk-punk collections including “Blister In The Sun,” “Kiss Off” and “Add It Up.” At one point during the Barenaked Ladies performance, Colin Hay joined the band on stage to perform his Men at Work hit “Who Can It Be Now?”
