Live music in Sin City...

I don't spend a lot of time out and about on the Las Vegas strip. There are many reasons for this, mostly because I go to Vegas to work rather than play (lame, I know) but also because I am kind of a homebody and would rather chill out than be in the middle of the action.

This weekend, however, I ventured onto the strip as my brother in law is in town and wanted to see the sights. We traveled the strip from one end to another and one thing that I couldn't help but notice (even off duty) was the apparent lack of live music.

Restaurants, Walkways between megacasinos, cafes, bars, so many potential venues for some music to set the tone. I realize that the tone is Vegas is a little different than say New York, or San Francisco, however, I couldn't help but wonder what it could be like to hear an electric string quartet in a bar or a pianist and singer in a restaurant.. something, ANYTHING!

Good thing the Smith Center is coming, it is really going to change the face of music in this city! Very exciting changes in the near future for Sin City Music!
