Drink: Open Bar

Open Bar

Mon-Thu, OB gives you 3hrs of free saucing at a rotating cast of LV hotspots (Ago, Cathouse, Treasures, etc), with Fridays dedicated to pre-concert warm-ups at the Hard Rock. The goal: introduce new booze -- from Stoli Raspberry to something called Sex Vodka -- to a crowd of PR reps, travel execs, and local celebs like Mike Tyson (who likes to party) and Robin Leach, host of Lifestyles of Famous People Too Cheap To Buy A Bottle Of Sex Vodka.

Eat: Brand Steakhouse

Brand Steakhouse

The new steakhouse from the Light Group (Bare, Jet) is part Big Texan, part ultralounge: oversized bone-in/bone-out slabs of beef (plus make-your-own surf-and-turf with King Crab, Jumbo Shrimp, and/or Maine Lobster Tail), served in a wide-open, moderned-up room with plush banquettes/booths and retractable glass windows looking out on the craps pit -- so when the gambling urge hits, you can hop through, slap Brand's signature 120oz porterhouse on a table, and let it ride.

Gamble: Grand Poker Series

Grand Poker Series

Held in a new 50-table tournament room, GPS is the Nugget's affordable alternative to the rich-fatman orgy that is the WSOP. The monthlong festival offers three-figure buy-ins that'll nab you bigger-than-usual starting stacks, plus slower blind structures; multitable tournament play covers not just no-limit hold'em, but also games like pot-limit Omaha, razz, and HORSE (but you can't use your granny-style, because that involves slots).
