Las Vegas is sunny ninety percent of the time, and since it is in the desert it can get hot!David Dargahi of the Postelles combats the heat by kicking it poolside at the Mirage.However, he explained to SPIN that he hopes to make it into the Wynn one day — “I’ve heard the Wynn pool is really happening, but I’m not cool enough to get in there yet.” Postelles frontman Daniel Balk casually smirked, replying “Yet?” when hearing his bandmate refer to his coolness quotient.

Parisians Laurent Brancowitz and Christian Mazzalai of the band Phoenix enjoy riding bikes around the streets of Paris.”The Vegas Paris — it’s cool, it looks exactly the same.” said Brancowitz.

As for Margaret Cho, eating is the only logical thing to do in Vegas during the day.”There’s all these crazy great restaurants” she dished to SPIN, “and they have the best steakhouses ever!”Elijah Jones of the Constellations enjoys the food as well, but he recommends the Bellagio buffet.He prefers the very interesting combination of “sushi, steak, and apple pie.”
