If you weren’t at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in St. Louis this past Sunday night you missed a PARTY! Not only were there lights, lasers and DJs, but there was also a Pitbull look-a-like contest, and the winner got upgraded front row seats.

Gobs of fans showed up decked out in suits and sunglasses with bald heads to participate in the fun. They sang and danced and grabbed t-shirts as they tried to prove they were the best-looking Pitbull.

The rapper from Miami (hence the name Mr. 305) brought along his friend T-Pain to get the crowd pumped for the show. T-Pain ran through some of his best bangers including “All I Do Is Win”, “Blame It”, and “Buy You A Drank”. He completed his mission of hyping up the fans for Pitbull.

In true Pitbull fashion, the headliner came out with a band, DJ, and half a dozen backup dancers. Dressed in black from head to toe, including his signature shades, under a chandelier of lights he jumped into “Don’t Stop the Party”.

Pitbull and the backup dancers strutted up and down the backlit stairs for several more songs including “Rain Over Me” and “Hotel Room Service”. During costume changes DJ Laz spun hits like “I Feel Good” by James Brown. Upon returning in a white jacket with his backup dancers he launched into his own “I Feel Good” song.

The latter half of the show was recognizable pop hits from the 2010s, starting with the “I Know You Want Me” and followed by a tune he recorded with Jennifer Lopez, “Get On The Floor.” That one was a crowd favorite; they screamed at the top of their lungs as he and two backup dancers strutted up and down the stairs.
