Late night at the Sand Dollar means the band stops planning and starts listening to each other. The Funk Jam pulls together some of the best players on the Las Vegas scene for a stretch of pure improvisation, built on syncopated bass lines, horn stabs, and a drummer who keeps the whole thing locked to the groove. There's no setlist here, just musicians reading the room and chasing whatever pocket feels right in the moment.

It's the kind of show that rewards sticking around for the whole night rather than catching a quick set. The Sand Dollar itself has decades of blues and live music history baked into its walls, going back to the days when Muddy Waters and B.B. King played the original room, and that same loose, lived-in feel carries over into this jam. No cover, 21 and up, and the dance floor stays loose from the first downbeat until the lights come up at 2am.
