Las Vegas's one connection to the jazz world

Just got back from Las Vegas. I was going to check out the jazz scene, but found that I already had: A cursory search for jazz in Vegas turned up one whole venue: the bar at the Stratosphere. We did that last year. (Restaurant review: Great view, average to poor food, terrible service. Kind of like a cruise ship: there's nowhere else you can go, so we'll treat you how we feel...)

I did find one connection between jazz and Las Vegas, though. Treasure Island has a "head hunter" tournament on Wednesday mornings, where you pay an extra $50 and you get $50 for every person you knock out. And one of Herbie Hancock's most famous albums is called, "Head Hunters". Other than that, Vegas is water and jazz is oil, and they just don't mix.

Too bad Frank Sinatra isn't around still...
