Inside you would find a 31 Ford Hot Rod along with some custom seats made from the back of cars from the 50's. Above the entrance was a 59 Pink Cadillac with an lightly engraved image of Elvis. Hot Rods had the staff do choreographed dances and skits to some classic oldies songs like: Think, Jailhouse Rock, Boogie Nights, Gimme Some Lovin', Greased Lighting, The One That I Want, Surfin USA, The Leader of the Pack, and more.. The Entertainment Staff did appearances around Anchorage like the Fur Rondy float with Tom Dooley's cool yellow Hot Rod. Every weekend the staff would dance hourly much to the enjoyment of the guests. The playlist started out with the music of the 50's & 60's then mixed in everything from the 70's to current dance worthy tunes. Most nights started that way too with the oldies early working into the loud bumping dance club at night. DJ Scott Hagamier, DJ Mark Griffin, DJ Brian Hoff, TJ The DJ, DJ Joe Spradlin, and a handful more kept the floor going all night long.
