What would you call a live music venue owned by two legendary headbangers, located right next to one of Las Vegas' best strip clubs and specifically friendly to poker players?  Possibly the best idea to come out of Nevada in a long time.

UltimateBet pro Scott Ian from Anthrax and Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains, recently decided to team up to open a new Vegas joint for people who just want a reasonably priced drink while listening to good music; they're calling the place Dead Man's Hand and it's grand opening is in less than two weeks during poker's biggest final table of the year.

"We want this to be a place that we would want to hang out in," stated Ian. "There's a huge segment of the music audience that likes to go out but doesn't want to go to places that only play Lil' Wayne and Lady Gaga and charge $750 for a bottle of vodka. We want to be the opposite of that."

Dead Man's Hand, located inside the Playground near the Crazy Horse III, during its grand opening weekend will feature the band The Starf**kers on Saturday Nov, 7th, whose members include rockers from Alice Cooper, Kiss, Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, the Stray Cats and more.  The band will be headlining the Bluff Magazine Final Table Party and will begin at 10PM.
