Vegas is the self-titled album by the one-off collaborative group featuring British artist Terry Hall - best known as vocalist for 2 Tone and ska revival band The Specials and subsequent offshoot band Fun Boy Three - and Eurythmics member Dave Stewart. The duo worked with the assistance of drummer and programmer Olle Romo and engineer Emmanuel 'Manu' Guiot (with Dave Stewart also using this surname professionally with the pseudonym Jean Guiot), both former collaborators with Stewart on Eurythmics projects. Vegas includes the singles 'Possessed', 'She' and 'Walk into the Wind'. Of the three only 'Possessed' charted in the UK Top 40,[3] whilst 'Walk into the Wind' featured Shakespears Sister'sSiobhan Fahey (then Stewart's wife).[4] Receiving positive reviews the album was released on CD, Cassette and vinyl LP by the major record label RCA/BMG in October 1992, but failed to chart. The album has since been deleted.
The album was written by Hall and Stewart with the exception of the musical standard 'She'. No performer credits are provided, Allmusic speculates that Vegas is almost certainly a Dave Stewart production.[2] Dave Stewart likely was responsible for the lion's share of the musical backing with assistance from Romo and Guiot and Hall contributing his vocal.
Following the album's commercial failure the group split. Hall subsequently launched a solo-career, releasing Home in 1994. Stewart also returned to solo-work, releasing Greetings from the Gutter in 1994. The pair re-united in 1997 to support Bob Dylan during his Never Ending Tour for a pair of concerts in Japan.[5]

A Vegas law firm says it’s exploring possible ‘legal action’ against Vegas Dave / via IG
Things appear to be heating up at a rapid pace in the battle between the Internet/lawyers and gambling tout Vegas Dave. 5Dimes took a shot at Dave Sunday night during the Seahawks-Packers game and now a Vegas law firm, The 702 Firm, says it’s in the “exploratory stages of possibly pursuing legal action against Dave Oancea.” According to the 702 Firm’s website, they’re injury lawyers who have “obtained millions of dollars in financial compensation for clients.”
The 702 Firm had not tweeted since August 2018 until they dropped this:
https://twitter.com/The702Firm/status/1217173289979666432
On 702 Firm’s site they explain a little further what they’re up to:
It has come to our attention that Dave Oancea aka Vegas Dave has been posting possibly falsified images with the intent of misleading potential customers into paying for his services. If you have paid for the sports betting services of Mr. Oancea and have lost money as a result please let us know. If you are a victim of this potential fraudulent activity please CALL US now. We are in the exploratory stages of possibly pursuing legal action against Mr. Oancea. Please let us know the dates in which you paid for the “Vegas Dave” packages including any single day “Whale Plays”. Please also include a rough estimate of total amount paid to Mr. Oancea plus amount lost as a result of the picks. We also need your place of residence. At The702Firm we take these actions very seriously and are here to ensure that the victim of any action is protected.
Things have heated up so much that Vegas Dave’s haters have even gone as far as claiming Dave has a way to manipulate the HTML code on 5Dimes to edit bets to show that he won huge. Again, this is what the haters CLAIM.
