Rock-n-Roll Wine Tasting at MIX Lounge
If you’ve ever wanted to attend a wine tasting, but thought you might feel out of place, then you’ll want to check out a Rock-n-Roll Wine event, where a sense of humor is as important as a set of tastebuds. Their April event will be held at the MIX Lounge and will feature tastings of champagnes, as well as the usual reds and whites. Add in some live entertainment and you have a fun, high-energy tasting event, instead of a staid and snobby one. Light appetizers will be provided as well.

Gilley's at the Frontier to Hold Farewell Party
With all the news swirling lately of the sale of the Frontier and it’s imminent closure, I felt it was important to note that one other Vegas attraction in the hotel will soon be history, too.
Gilley’s Dance Hall Saloon, which has drawn country music fans to the Frontier for years, is also closing down. From its $15 all-you-can-drink suds to its mechanical bull, it was the lone honky-tonk on the Vegas Strip for many years.
The staff will hold a farewell party for the bar on July 7, a week before the resort itself is reportedly due to close. Other than that many of the employees are not talking much about the upcoming closure of the popular country bar.
