No. I usually go to the Red Rock, and kick it at Rocks Lounge, when I get out.

Las Vegas » The Cougars left Provo for this weather?
That was the prevailing sentiment Wednesday morning as BYU practiced at Bishop Gorman High School in preparation for Saturday night's Las Vegas Bowl against Arizona.
Snow fell steadily during the hourlong practice, and temperatures were in the mid-30s. It was the first time the Cougars have practiced outdoors since early November, because when the weather is like this in Provo, they move to their indoor practice facility.
An hour or so later Wednesday, Arizona practiced in similar conditions at UNLV's practice fields, and it was a bigger shocker for the warm-weather Wildcats.
"We were laughing. This is crazy," said BYU linebacker David Nixon as snowflakes fell on his hair and eyelashes. "But you know what? It is still football. I have said it a couple times, I am just glad I am playing football [in mid-December]. That part of it is awesome. A lot of teams in the NCAA are sitting at home, training, getting ready for next year, when we still have a chance to play football, so any time you can do that, it is definitely a positive."
No matter the weather.
"For me, growing up in Utah, getting a little snow during football practice is part of the deal," said BYU safety Kellen Fowler, from Kaysville. "I say, 'bring it on.' It's fine."
He will get his wish. Weather forecasters are calling for more snow and cold temperatures throughout the week and into Saturday's game at Sam Boyd StadiumComment -
