MonkeyF0cker - Vegas question

[PuckOff]

Monkey,

Other that that outdoor tent in front of Imperial Palace, can you recommend a place on the strip or within walking distance that plays live music. Preferably 70's, 80's 90's shit. Also, any bars on the strip that "mostly" plays this type of music? Not looking for a bar that plays this dance shit that is out there these days.

I don't see how you can avoid 70-90's cover bands in Vegas. Just walk around.

Pucky, if you like Korn then MF probably can hook you up with an underground band that comes out at night from the tunnels. More zombie like shit than dance shit!

I've been to Vegas over a dozen times and I only stumbled into 80/90's bands at Carnival Court.

Really, wow. I see them everywhere, too.

By the way, people love Yellow Brick Road (classic rock covers), but they only seem to play off-the-strip (GVR, Suncoast, and Boulder Station).

 

[PuckOff]

Where Mr. X?

For cover bands on the strip, you could try Margaritaville, O'Shea's, or the lounge at the rear of Bally's. There are also a few different piano bars at Harrah's, Paris, and NYNY. You also have the House of Blues and the Pub at Monte Carlo. It seems like there are always cover bands at the local casinos on the weekend. The Orleans always has one in their lounge. And you can generally find them at Boulder Station, Green Valley Ranch, Red Rock, etc. A solid local bar that you may be interested in checking out is Feelgood's. It's Vince Neil's bar here. It's west on Sahara a ways, but it's usually a pretty good scene.

Hmmm, I haven't done much wandering the strip in years, so maybe my memories are outdated. I know I used to hear 70s-80s cover stuff at that bar in Bally's near the connector to Paris. Other than that, I can't pull up more specific memories, but like renocool, I thought it was everywhere.

Hey, maybe you should go see Erocktica at Rio, classic rock covers and boobies at the same time!!! It's hilariously bad, a lot like a dirty high-school dance production after the whole senior class had boob-jobs.

You might also want to check out a couple of shows: Santana at the Hard Rock and Cheap Trick doing Sgt. Pepper at Paris.

Pucky, this show might be entertaining?

Zumanity was easily my least favorite Cirque show. Not very erotic, and not up to the artistic standards of their other productions. I hear that the Criss Angel Cirque show is pretty awful, too.

 

[Vegas Dave]

Pucky, you going to be in Vegas this weekend?

 

[Bread]

I didn't mind Zumanity.

HATED the Criss Angel so much. Actually found myself heckling him from front row. Oops.

O was good. Ka is the best one I've seen (La Nouba in Orlando is second best)

We had a friend who worked for Cirque. Half of her time was spent fielding complaints from people who went to the Criss Angel show.

MF should get paid by the Nevada tourism board.

Hey MF where can I dump a dead body in Vegas?
