Good day all! (and a hot one for us...)

We're in Las Vegas, and I just started taking ASL 1. I actually picked up a second degree plan in Deaf Studies after gaining interest in the language. Part of my class requirement is to get involved in the deaf community and spend at least 10 hours socializing with deaf individuals. I think this is a great idea! Anyhow, does anyone know of a good resource for finding events within Las Vegas? Additionally, I've been informed by some interpreting friends that some events welcome hearing individuals who are learning ASL, whereas others aren't as student friendly. Any advice and information is appreciated.
 
Plus better buckle up for the great event of all, the world deaf expo in Las vegas July 18th until 23rd :shock:

Friday night I went to Texas Station because my instructor said there was a bowling event that occurs there starting at 7pm every week. I got my family together and got over my nervousness and went. Unfortunately, upon arrival I found out they decided to take a break for the summer lol. I knew about the events at Borders, but we have class on Monday and Wednesday nights from 6-9:20pm. It's starting to look like I'm going to have to get my lab hours for ASL 1 through the Expo... which I want to go to anyhow. I just wanted to go without any worries of meeting the deadlines for hours. With any luck, next semester's classes won't fall on Wednesdays and I'll be able to hang out on those nights at Borders and meet some awesome people.:wave:
