The Brain Invaders guide to Las Vegas

Earlier this evening I contributed to a podcast called Brain Invaders. The topic for the podcast, which will probably be broken up into two episodes (78 and 79) was Vegas. Specifically things to see and do if you're a fan of the BI podcast. That means comic books, comic conventions, sci-fi, museums and gaming (outside of gambling).

I will update this page with links to the episodes when they are available. Until then here's a resource list, taken from my show notes, for most of the destinations I discussed:
