Recording

After the Dopes to Infinity tour, Dave Wyndorf flew to Las Vegas to work on the group's next album. He got a hotel room outside the city, where he would write one song a day for twenty-one days. Most of the songs were based on the themes of Vegas, such as naked women and people losing their money.
