Beer drinking nerds headed to Las Vegas are in for one hell of a treat. One of the best pubs in town is now offering an event that you just can’t miss out on. That’s right, it’s the Geeks Who Drink Pub Quizzes and it’s at Aces & Ales -- at both of its locations.

Geeks Who Drink, based out of Denver, Colorado, hosts these events at more than 300 pubs across 25 states. Many ask what the difference is between Geeks Who Drink and pub trivia nights. Well, there’s quite a large difference, actually, and it’s not for the faint of heart, err, head, rather.

This fall the best of the rockabilly world heads to Vegas for the first annual Rockabilly Rockout at the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino on Thursday, October 2 through Sunday, October 5.

The event is all about good old-fashioned rock’n’roll meets country music with a splash of rhythm’n’blues. Not only will the event feature rockabilly bands from around the world, but DJs (i.e. record hops) Tom Ingram and Jerry Chatabox among others will be spinning rockabilly-themed music between bands.

She’s curated exhibits at the Erotic Heritage Museum in town.

The intriguing Dr. Laura Henkel, who landed in Vegas in 2008, did so with a bang as she helped conceive the Erotic Heritage Museum where she worked until 2010.

It can be difficult to navigate the waters of who gets what and how much when it comes to tipping, especially in a city where money flows from one hand to the other like water.

From the second you hail a taxicab or have a prescheduled limousine picking you up at the airport to the time you depart from your hotel room, leaving an unintended disaster for the maid, this is what you need to know for tipping.

**Note: Put your tipping money aside or in a separate pocket and don’t gamble it away, you’ll thank us and so will those who assist you.

It's official, KISS, the legendary rock band and music icons have announced their residency at The Joint inside of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for this fall.

"What happens in Vegas will not stay in Vegas, not if we have anything to do with it. We intend to blow the roof off the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino," said Gene Simmons a founding member of KISS in an released statement.

The new Italian-based restaurant from TV personality and chef, Giada de Laurentiis, inside of The Cromwell is the place to dine at in Vegas. The problem with eating at Giada's is that it's becoming more difficult to get a reservation because of it's immense popularity from locals and visitors alike. Thankfully, though, the powers that be with Giada's will be adding lunch hours beginning July 16. This provides patrons with an additional chance to enjoy this highly-popular eatery.
