On Budget: Free shows
Cherry 2000
“Cherry 2000,” the late-1980s sci-fi flick, featured female androids that one could have sex with. Cherry 2000, the Vegas pop punk trio, might not titillate like a robo femme, but at least they won’t short circuit if they get wet at 10 p.m. Friday at the Double Down Saloon, 4640 Paradise Road. The show is free; call 702-791-5775.
