Las Vegas

Harrah's is offering the marginally talented a stupendous opportunity: sign up your fake band, pick a number from a preset song list (Metallica, Alice in Chains, Chili Peppers, etc), then faux-jam your way through a series of local, regional, and national competitions to win a trip to Atlantic City, where your "band" will open for the B-52s at the House of Blues, and receive $10,000 -- which you'll immediately blow on mock-tails and candy cigarettes.
