Dueling piano bar - they are crazy talented, the crowd is always good looking and fun loving - most people who grew up in Utah grew up singing or playing an instrument, so when the drunken crowd sings along it doesn't sound half bad!

See the iconic salt flats, many movies have been shot here, many cars driven FAST, it's really a unique site. About a 45-60 minute drive from home. BRING SUNGLASSES because the sun is so bright, reflected off the white salt, and if you'll be there around sunset BRING BUG SPRAY.
