I lived there for a year back in 1991-1992. (that was more than long enough)    Not much to do at nite. You could go to Wendover, NV if you wanted to gamble. It is roughly 100 miles west on I-80.  
The funny thing about Salt Lake is most profess to me strict mormons.  But go to Wendover on a Friday or Saturday night and 90% of the cars in the parking lot have Utah plates.
