Grope Gruden: Sapphire Monday Night Football
3025 Industrial Rd; 702.796.6000
$20 gets you admission, three drinks, free reign over a tailgate-style buffet, the game on huge HDs, and, at halftime, over a hundred dancers invading the floor for Dollar Dance, where a buck secures 20-30 seconds of heaven, or just barely enough time to hear Bret Michaels say, "Woo! Mmm yeah. Ha ha. Ooh yow, woo. Ha ha ha ha. Yeah. Now listen...".
Grab your package at SapphireLasVegas.com, and ogle some photo galleries while you're there
Chug: The Pub Opens at Monte Carlo
3770 Las Vegas Blvd S; 702.730.7777
The former "Brew Pub" has stripped down their name while boosting their grub (notably a "Be the Burgermeister" program, with 5 patty options, ten cheeses, three buns, eight toppers & sauces, and five fried potatoes), and their brews: 50+ taps from eleven countries including the US's Slo Blueberry Ale, England's Young's Chocolate Stout, Germany's Warsteiner Dunkel, and Belgium's Gulden Draak, who this fall will be making Captain America see stars in theaters near you.
All kinds of new-style upgrades at MonteCarlo.com
Drive: Day Dreamin' Exotics Tours
1297 East Miller Ave; 888.945.9775
Instead of puttering on the Strip, take a three-hour guided tour ninety winding miles through the desert, switching amongst a fleet that includes an Aston Martin Vantage, a Ferrari 360 Modena Coupe, a Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe, and a Nissan Skyline GTRl, rated by Car and Driver as 300X more exotic than a 300Z.
Race over to DayDreaminExotics.com to see all the cars and specs.
Rock: John Varvatos Bowery NYC Opens at the Hard Rock
4455 Paradise Rd; 800.473.7625
Varvatos brings his Iggy Pop-friendly gear to the Hard Rock via a boutique that echoes his slick, shamefully vomit-free outpost on NYC's Bowery: blackened steel doors, Paris flea market kitsch, a huge factory fan transformed into a table top, vintage smoky mirrors, rare rock-show posters and unpublished photography, and a stage outfitted with Gibson guitars, Marshall amps, Yamaha drums, and Zildjian cymbals; passersby are (seriously) free to hold impromptu jam sessions, or, if you can only play cymbals, 'jian sessions.
Why check out a lame website when you can watch this video instead?
Bluff: Poker In Motion Alpha Iphone App
Enter your and your opponents' hand history, and this app'll help you make mid-game adjustments during live games -- or assess your play over multiple games -- by tracking stats including "how many hands you have played, how often you are staying in for the Flop, and your current win-loss percentage for hands with and without a showdown". The app can't track how awesome people will think you are for constantly logging in their hands, because it's hard to put a number on "very".
Don't poker in the rear -- instead, PokerInMotion
