This is such a cliche, but whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. In the past this might seem true, but with so many social media outlets, texting, and people posting videos on YouTube, it's kinda hard to not let the cat out of the bag, so to speak.
Yet we persist. Las Vegas has such hold on us. It has a certain mystique, a charm, an aura. We come here to let go, to Let loose, to let our hair down (and sometimes up). The moment we cross stateline we can be whoever we want: a high roller, a racecar driver, an international man of mystery, a super hero zipping above the crowd. I, on the other hand, don't do any of that. The moment I cross the border, I become - a rock star.
The last two times I was in Vegas I wanted to sing at a bar with Karaoke. Just 2 or 3 songs. And only for a night. And by luck or chance, I've done it twice in Pahrump (Pahrump is only an hour away from Vegas). Mind you, my voice is terrible. It's on par with a rusted out lawnmower on a Saturday morning, or a car being crushed at a junk yard, but I do enjoy myself, and I do want to get better.
The last time I did Karaoke, I was at the Hubb Bar and Grill located off Bell Vista Avenue in the city of Pahrump. The Hubb is a pretty cool local bar that offers beers on draft, in bottles, and liquor. They also have drink specials and a happy hour too. Though I didn't eat there, their food gets talked about a lot. I keep seeing how amazing their burger are.
On the day I went, they had Karaoke and the crowd was pretty good. Not too big to make you nervous, but enough to build your confidence. My first song was a song I never sang publicly before and I bombed miserably. My throat was tight. I lost track of the words. It was as bad. But on my second song, I did better. Lesson, warm up with a song that you know. And for new songs, keep practicing. The Karaoke host has really good voice himself. The bartenders too have amazing voices. It's a treat whenever they sing. Overall, I had a great time here.
Check this place out and eat, sing, and drink. They also have live bands too.
