The only ‘labor’ you need to worry about this coming holiday weekend is partying at WET REPUBLIC.

It’s no coincidence the summer season is sandwiched between two holiday weekends — Memorial Day kicking off the festivities in May, and Labor Day giving summer the proper celebratory sendoff it deserves in September. And really, what better way to usher in and bid adieu to everyone’s favorite season than three days of decadent debauchery? Take an extra vacation day or start perfecting your “sick voice,” ‘cause WET REPUBLIC is poised to throw the bash to end all bashes, and if you intend to end your summer with a bang (literally and figuratively), attendance is mandatory. Just don’t plan on making it to work on Tuesday.

If you failed to make an appearance at WET REPUBLIC’s Memorial Day weekend celebration, 1) you truly did “fail,” and 2) here’s who you missed behind the decks: Deadmau5, Roger Sanchez, Afrojack, Boris, Cedric Gervais, Chuckie, Fedde Le Grand, Sharam, and Victor Caldarone. Oh, and just to add insult to injury, because a picture really is worth a thousand words (or 1,000 CC’s of silicon):MDW-Saturday, MDW-Sunday, MDW-Monday. A video, on the other hand, is worth at least a few more than that: http://www.youtube.com/wetrepubliclv.

Considering what and whom the MGM Grand and WET REPUBLIC have in store for Labor Day weekend, however, the talent and events of Memorial Day will seem nothing more than a high school house party in comparison… Not the most accurate analogy, but you get the idea.

The festivities kick off Friday, Sept. 3 with Bad Boy Bill and Boris. The one and only Diddy hosts Saturday’s shenanigans, with Serge Devant and Funkagenda manning the decks. Will.I.Am and Sharam provide the aural stimulation on Sunday, and the not-to-be-missed Monday holiday hosts the star-studded lineup of Robbie Rivera, Fedde Le Grand, Laidback Luke, Chuckie, and Afrojack.

As of Friday, Aug. 27, tickets were still available for all four events, but they will be sold out in short order. The MGM Grand and WET REPUBLIC have truly outdone themselves this time around, and Labor Day may never be the same again.
