"Pretty Vegas" arrived in 2005 as the lead single from Switch, the Australian band INXS's 11th studio album and their first with a new Canadian singer, J.D. Fortune, who won the job on the TV contest Rock Star: INXS. The song grew out of that show: Andrew Farriss supplied a melody, and the eight contestants, split into two teams of four, had to put words to it. Fortune butted heads with his team, runner-up Marty Casey among them, and struck out alone to write his own, and the song debuted on the show while he was still fighting for the spot.
Guy Chambers produced it, Richard Flack recorded it and Serban Ghenea mixed it. It went to No. 37 on the Hot 100 and No. 7 on the Adult Top 40, and in Australia it was a proper comeback at No. 9, the band's first top 10 there in 14 years.
