The locals (I am one) say the live music scene is pretty much dead now. I would stay at the W, but that's because I don't want to have anything to do with 6th street. It really is a mess these days.

Shame but I guess all good things must come to an end. last time I was there was Y2K New Year's Eve. Had a blast....but that was a long time ago now!

Go across the river to Uncle Billy's for BBQ and beer. If you can find it, find "Tommy Want Wingy". Best wings ever, and I lived in upstate New York where they invented Buffalo Wings.

And the traffic is insane. This last Friday I tried to get from Cedar Park to South Austin at 5PM. The fastest route according to GPS Map App was an hour and a half.

Moonshine is pretty good as well by the convention center.

It is insane. If it was 5pm on Friday, and I had to drive the aforementioned, I would seriously consider going through Marble Falls.
