But ESPN zone might work too..
Every casino has a sports book (a place with TVs with sports and horse racing on). This is the best bang for your buck. Take $20, parlay some games, sit down and get free drinks for the next couple hours - if you're gambling, you get drinks!

Just tip the lil'waitress for better service.

Actually, most of the sports books give you drink vouchers and only if you bet a minimum of $200.

That's odd. All of my friends- Trek fans and non fans told me I had to go. Dragged a couple of other non-trek fans along with me, and they both agreed that it was a lot of fun.

So my Vegas list would be:

Spearmint Rhino
Star Trek
Spearmint Rhino

I went to Penn & Teller and thought it was great! Although being an owner of their TV series "BS" I am may be a bit bias. It a reasonably priced show and you can meet them after. I recommend.

Yup after every show. I got a picture with each of them. You could also bring something for them to sign, which I didn't do, but would have been a good idea. I'll let you in on a secret too. Teller talks!

Definitely sounds like my kind of place.

We saw "Ka" when we were there in October '06. Fantastic show.

"O" looks cool but awfully pricey for my taste. I think we may end up at Mystere instead. Also hoping to see Wayne Brady.

On a side note, today's US exchange rate sucks.
