Vegas/Gambling Tunes

[Sparks]

I make the drive from L.A. to Vegas twice a year which is a great time to listen to tunes (five hours through the desert). Any suggestions for Vegas or gambling related songs? I know I'm missing a bunch of them, and need to make a new CD for my upcoming trip at the end of January. Right now I include the following (some dorky, please don't judge me!:
Viva Las Vegas - Elvis
This Town - Sinatra
Luck Be a Lady - Sinatra
Girl From Ipanema
Girls Girls Girls - Motely Crue
Drop Dead Legs - Van Halen
You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves You - Dean Martin
The Gambler - Kenny Rogers
Funk #49 - Joe Walsh
It's in the Way That you Do it - Eric Clapton
Stuck In the Middle With You - Dylan

Some of these songs are obvious, some are from gambling movies, and some I just associate with Vegas. Any and all of your insight and ideas are welcome and much appreciated! Thanks!

that's not actually Dylan. its a band called Steeler's Wheel (you'd know this from watching Reservoir Dogs)

Dylan has a bunch of songs that are somewhat gambling related. the titles escape me. also, i posted in the N,V,G forum a while back about a possible paper i was writing, and i got responses on this. some of them were as follows:
