[edit] Music video
The video starts with the band driving up to a casino with the song "Viva La White Girl" playing. After checking into their rooms, Travie McCoy makes his way down to the casino floor and runs into an Elvis impersonator, played by Pete Wentz, playing a slot machine. Travie engages in a game of strip poker with several girls, and seemingly wins, as he is the only one that remains dressed. It all turns into a party with Elvis performing on a stage. About half way through the video, Travis encounters people dressed like animals in the hotel, presumably furries at a convention. A dance-off then takes place with the fursuiters, who are afterwards revealed to be the members of Panic! at the Disco (Ryan Ross as the orange lion, Brendon Urie as the black and white dog, Jon Walker as the bear, and Spencer Smith as the seal).
Other cameos include Patrick Stump as a crowd member, and entrepreneur Johnny Cupcakes. London rapper Dizzee Rascal is also visible with some women for a short few seconds.
