Betcha didn’t know the Fuel guitarist has called Henderson home the past five years. You did? Well then, fanboys and girls, betcha didn’t know his preferred raw fish joint is I Love Sushi on Eastern. Read on for a few of his other local faves ...
Place to drink: Roadrunner. “They’ve got those comfortable chairs, and you can just sit around and chill out. Plus it’s close to the house.”
Late-night snack: Roberto’s Taco Shop. “24-7, anything you want. Carne asada burrito.”
Casino hangout: Hard Rock’s Circle Bar. “No lines, you can get right to the bar, you don’t have to wait to get into some club, and it’s got a rock vibe.”
Date destination: Nobu. “The yellowtail with jalapeno is killer.”
Venue: The Joint. “It’s always been great to us. I’ve never played the Pearl, but I saw the Smashing Pumpkins there and it was nice.”
Local band: Magna-Fi. “We saw them one night in town and they were amazing. We took them out on tour with us for a while.”
Strip production show: O. “I can’t imagine how somebody could even conceive of that show and put it together. You can’t even describe it.”
Outdoor sanctuary: Mount Charleston. “When it gets super-hot I like to take a drive up there. A lot of people don’t realize you can ski so close by.”
Spot to ride his chopper: Around town. “It’s mainly a ZIP-code bike for me, though riding around the desert south of town is a lot of fun.”
Intangibles: Sunny winters and bug-free summers. “Back East, gray sets in all winter, but in Vegas when it’s 50 degrees it’s a sunny 50 degrees. And there’s not a lot of flying bugs in the summer. You can sit out by your pool at night and grill without being carried off by mosquitoes.”
