I somewhat spontaneously booked a trip to Vegas next month for my partner and me. Mostly because we live somewhere dreary and cold and my sunlight lamp ain't cutting down on the seasonal affective disorder enough this time of year.

I've been to Vegas a half dozen times, but not in the last ~10 years. We're both im-vegan. I want to see Red Rock and the wetlands. And the Sphere cuz I think it's neat. We're both into liz-punk but don't want to go to the punk rock museum cuz fat mike sucks. I've been to the Atomic Bomb museum and to the shooting range to leftist on full auto.

Just wanted to see if the anti-capitalist forum had and recommendations on enjoying this hypercapitalist helltown. Any live shows that are especially fun or memorable? Any local spots to see?

Thank you for the show rec, I wouldn't know where to get started otherwise.

I've enjoyed Craps before, but I don't know how it works well enough to start losing money on it. Maybe I'll study up.

Fat Mike is just kinda gross and problematic, as one would expect based on nofx's antics. My partner is definitely in the "fat mike is cancelled" school of thought.

Study up on craps because its the most fun game with the best odds in Vegas.
