The 2000s memorabilia case at the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas, featuring a flyer for St. That's where we saw someone drinking the Pringles can concoction. Turns out, the museum's bar is named the Triple Down, after the Triple Rock and the beloved Vegas dive bar the Double Down Saloon. When we visited, a piece of pink tape was stuck to it with the word 'down' scrawled on it. The sign now has a prominent spot on the wall inside the small, dark bar next to the gift shop. That's how the nightclub's sign - which hung for nearly two decades above Cedar Avenue as a beacon for punks on tour - ended up at the Punk Rock Museum.
One of them is Minneapolis punk veteran Erik Funk, the Dillinger Four guitarist and former co-owner of the legendary Triple Rock Social Club, which closed in 2017. NOFX frontman Fat Mike has transformed a 4,000-square-foot antique store next to a strip club into a showcase for decades of memorabilia and music history, bringing in fellow musicians as investors. Our first stop was the Punk Rock Museum, which opened April 1 downtown. It turns out there are plenty of Las Vegas museums and art installations worth a gamble.Īnd many of them happen to have a signature cocktail.
On a recent getaway, my husband and I quickly tired of slot machines and decided to explore Sin City's nerdier side.
