Music Video
The Big Casino video was shot at the Las Vegas Neon Museum Boneyard in a single day (with a return for pickups at night), featuring the band playing among the yard's old billboards and casino neon signs. While the band plays during parts of the verses Jim Adkins is seen walking around parts of the yard dragging his guitar with him. As the video progresses it switches between night and day, with many of the billboards and signs being lit up, with the moon also in view.3
The video premiered on Yahoo October 22, 2007 4 followed by being added to Jimmy Eat Worlds official website on 23 October 2007, and moments later was added to Jimmy Eat World's YouTube5 and Universal Music's YouTube. 6
The music video is currently playing on MTV, Fuse and Vh1. 7
