Las Vegas

Las Vegas Hilton, 3000 Paradise Rd; 702.732.5111

Decimate your face with 75-minutes of powerhouse metal anthems -- from "Highway to Hell" to "We're Not Gonna Take It" -- banged out by a band consisting of former members of Whitesnake, Kiss, Ozzy, the immortal Great White, and Motley Crue (John Corabi, vocalist during Vince Neil's "you're fired" era). The group's backed by a frenzy of acrobats, aerialists, and fire-eaters -- the other former members of those bands had to do something for a living.

Don't give up your quest for a spot that brings you nature, boobs, and compliance with Germany's 1516 beer purity laws just yet: Sin City's new space sports an expansive, sun-drenched patio where you can take down their critically praised Amber, Stout, and Weisse brews, plus take in views of both the Flamingo's pool area and its 15-acre wildlife complex, home to 300+ exotic birds from the Chilean flamingo to the iridescent Himalayan Monal, national bird of Tibet (listen closely to hear it melodically sherp-ing).

Voyager's historically bad ass, chick-named fleet stretches from 1928 to 2008, with rides like "Casey", a custom-built '66 AC Cobra with a 460 Ford Racing Engine; "Chelsea", a '57 updated red & chrome Chevy Bel Air hard top with a GM 350 V8; and "Corria", a '58 black & red Corvette with a souped-up GM V8. Like many of the rentable Vegas girls, if you fall in love with any of these, you have the option to buy them.

Founded in another desert (Arizona), the Club hosts seven award-winning tattoo artists, plus less painfully procured gear, from hoodies & tees like the skeleton-Pope "Bloody Sunday", to silver accessories like a revolver belt buckle or vampire-skull ring, to shoes emblazoned with dragons (for the true Dragon-Player).

Word on the street is that Presidential only maintains one sedan; try booking it last minute, and if it's already in use, they'll upgrade you to a stretch for the same price. Given that it's a cheaper airport run than a cab, it's only a modest risk, but unless you're rolling with Fat Mike Tyson, it's one that's worth taking.
