PABST BLUE RIBBON
When one thinks of Las Vegas, images of glitter and neon come to mind, not cowboy hats and fringe! But now there seems to be a resurgence of country-themed entertainment on the Strip that disappeared a decade ago along with early 90s.
It shouldn't come as such a big surprise that these new country nightclubs and bars are opening up after the recent success of country stars in Vegas, like Garth Brooks. Country has crossed over into the mainstream (Hi, Taylor Swift!) and now its crossing over to Sin City as well.

Smokin' Hot Aces is adding a little bit of edge along with a touch of France to the otherwise Italian Venetian hotel.
Created by Miami plastic surgeon Leonard Roudner, the club prides itself on being "the only true rock ‘n' roll bar on the Strip." Smokin' Hot Aces, which opened in December, has a little bit of something for everyone. More importantly, the club has three different sizes of Pabst Blue Ribbon and that's just the beginning for this rock-hipster haven.
The décor is best described as dank and the music is awful, but you don’t come here to bask in the ambiance. You come here to get twisted comfortably, so dive in…
St. Nick’s
8450 W. 3rd St.
(323) 655-6917
You’ve never heard of jolly old St. Nick’s? Not the fat guy in red, but the watering hole down the street from Wokcano and Berri’s Pizza. It is here where I learned to drink and it will probably be where I take my last sip. Depressing, but I digress. Fridays and Saturdays are prime as hordes of easy-going guys and gals come out and get sloshed before making their way to a house party or lounge. From Beverly Center employees who’ve just finished work, to actors filing out of the workshop upstairs, there’s a drinking partner waiting for you on any given night. Drink and be merry.
