Las Vegas Tunes?

Las Vegas Tunes?

My wife and I are in Las Vegas from Sept 22 08 to Oct 20 or so and wondered if anyone knows if there is a session or any ITM activity there. There are no sessions listed.

Contact "Nine Fine Irishmen" at NYNY and ask to get in touch with the Irish band that plays there. About 2 years ago I knew a bunch of locals who played there and also had a session. Also, there are usually a few good fiddlers in town playing with the latest iteration of "Lord of the Dance". They've been known to play with out-of-towners.

You might want to brush up on the Gambling Pitchfork as well.

Don't forget 'I Buried My Wallet and Danced on My Debt"
