When I tossed open the curtain, and slid the window open wide bright and early this morning in my Hotel room, I was hit with a blast of rock 'n roll!
They start early in Vegas, don't they?
After showering, I took the elevator downstairs, and headed off for a morning cup of java.
Heh!
Was that Alice Cooper screaming the last few strains of the band's celebrated hit - "School's Out" - on the Freemont Street stage?
Shucks, missed capturing the classic little number on video.
But, lady luck was on my side.
"Are we allowed to do another song, "Alice" asked the stage manager in charge of the early morning riser.
Once that tidbit of dialogue fell on my ears, I snatched up my new HD Video Recorder just in time to catch an encore number in which "Alice" proceeded to tear off the head of a doll.
The truth of the matter?
The performance wasn't quite up to par.
Did "Alice" have a rough night, or what?
You got it!
Turns out, the musicians on stage were a Tribute Band!
The impromptu performance (and the one that followed that featured a Bon Jovi look-a-like) was a special promotion for the - "Battle of the Bands" (May 13th) - being taped for Fox News.

The teaser was being whipped up to throw the spotlight on a myriad of talented young musicians playing the strip in honky-tonks, casinos, and Hotel lounges around "sin" city in search of the elusive big break.
Later in the week, I'll upload the video, and you can decide for yourself if it was a tribute or a travesty!
