Where is the Best Live Music Venue in Las Vegas, Nevada?
Yet another great addition to what is becoming a great downtown Las Vegas nightlife scene. The Citysearch comments about Wednesday nights are now outdated. Currently a super crew of guys are spinning on Wednesday nights, for an event called “Fantastic Damage”, spinning anything from underground 60’s funk and soul, some 70’s rock, a little house, a little hip hop, some 80’s new wave, a little jazz….it goes on and on. Spin magazine did a nice write up on them a couple of months ago. The basic musical rules are: all genres, all vinyl, all night. There is no cover and drink special are offered too. The 1st Friday of every month features “The Get Back”. The place is packed to the gills with great dj’s spinning very underground 60’s and 70’s funk and soul among a few other things.

Don’t be concerned about staying at the MGM Grand. It’s a good place from the 1 night experience we had here. We were able to get $75/night rooms with a $35 restaurant credit.

Fast elevators in this place! There are so many elevators for each wing that you rarely have to wait more than 30 seconds for one. The rooms have an old Hollywood theme and is very art deco. Very comfortable beds! I didn’t want to get out of bed the next morning they were that good. The rooms and bathrooms were decorated nicely, though not as nice as say, The Mirage. The staff at the MGM was very helpful and addressed any concerns and questions promptly. Beautiful cocktai
