We’re always on the lookout for ways to feel better about drinking.

This being Las Vegas, those opportunities come around more often than you might think.

BMX pro Ricardo Laguna will host the evening of demonstrations by amateur and professional action sports athletes. Donations and raffle proceeds will benefit the Downtown Boys & Girls Club.

After the all-ages event, everyone 21 and older is invited to the after-party at Insert Coin(s). Bar proceeds from the night will be donated to the Downtown Boys & Girls Club.
