At last, Roth took to the stage and said, “What’s up, Vegas? My name is Asher Roth, and I just want to have a little fun.” Roth then jumped into the crowd, and his fans went wild cheering for the rap star.

Before his next song, Roth looked out into the club and said, “All the wonderful [Studio 54] dancers are doing a great job. Thank you very much.” The singer introduced one of his new songs to the crowd, “Actin’ Up,” as fans continued to rush to the stage vying for the chance to touch the rapper’s hand and snag a picture.

Roth closed his set by singing his hit single, “I Love College,” as the crowd cheered and sang along, fist-pumping to his infamous lyrics. The rapper thanked the adoring crowd and returned to his VIP table to celebrate his smashing performance and party the night away with friends and fans at Vegas’ most legendary nightclub.
