Hey folks. For those of you who may be heading to Black Hat this year the BH Announcement list posted this list of concerts that will be playing while you’re in town. Thought I’d pass this along. Hopefully it will be a much safer trip than what happened this morning in Vegas.
From IrishMASMS on the DEF CON forums comes this helpful post:

Sat 08/11/07 The Fixx The Club @ Cannery CasinoAs for venues, the Hard rock sucks. House of Blues is one of the best in town. MGM Grand is ok, but the sound quality in the arena can be shitty in spots. The Pearl is the brand new venue in town, good luck getting tickets. The Station casinos are not bad venues, and I think those are free shows. The Cannery Casino I have never been to, so I can not say – and there is no review posted on www.yelp.com yet for me to reference.
HTH!
