      The company I work for is sending me to a conference in Las Vegas for a week (Feb. 13-21) and I was wondering what I should look up or where I should go when I get there. Im not a big gambler so that part of Vegas is lost on me. Any bands playing, or good bars to hit? Where are the venues?

      The Double Down is the happiest place on earth....I had fun there. There was a cool rooftop bar at The Rio when we went in 2001. And the thrill rides are wicked fun..you can go on board the starship enterprise! I think it's circus circus that has the dolphins you can get right up close too.

      The beauty bar and the griffin are right near each other on Freemont downtown (not too far from the freemont experience, but far enough). I can't recall the name of it but there's a place that has live music that's on the same block. I remember that The Hold Steady were playing there the week after I was there. I think the Double Down has music every day still, for better or worse.

      The best place to go in Vegas is anywhere else.

      I always liked what Dr. Thompson said about Circus Circus. To paraphrase, it's what the hip world would be doing every Saturday night had the Nazis won the war.

      The Double Down can have good (punk) shows at times but is quite dirty. Good bars would be: The Mix, Ghostbar, anything downtown at the Golden Nugget, Beauty Bar. Don't miss the $6.99 sirloin at Ellis Isand...Have fun. I'll be seeing the Buzzcocks and Damned at the Inkfest show on the 20th.

      not an expert on Vegas, but the Double Down Saloon used to have good shows sometimes. I think they probably still do.
