The Parlay

Rock: Monster Circus

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.

Rock your balls off with the Monster Circus

Drink: Sin City Brewing Opens at the Flamingo

3555 Las Vegas Blvd South; 702.733.3111

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).

They've got some sweet tees and hoodies at SinCityBeer.com

Drive: Voyager Classic Car Rentals

4956 Paradise Rd; 702.795.7637

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.

Ink: Club Tattoo Opens at Planet Hollywood

3663 Las Vegas Blvd; 702.363.2582

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).

The gear's all for sale at ClubTattoo.com. For tats, you might actually have to hit the store.

Game the System: The Presidential Limo's Sedan

702.430.6401

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.

Check out the fleet at PresidentialLimoLV.com
