IT will be the bright lights of Vegas rather than the floodlights of Bolton's Reebok Stadium that will be shining for Studley dartsman Andy 'Pie Man' Smith later this month.

Smith reached the fourth round of the Budweiser UK Open in Bolton at the weekend before falling to Lancashire's Alan Tabern who went on to reach the semi-finals.

The Studley tree surgeon now switches his attention to America where he is hoping for a slice of the £100,000 prize money on offer at the Las Vegas Desert Classic.

The competition, which starts on June 26, sees 32 players battling it out for the honours.
