For many, concerts are a way of life, a sporting event for the creative. In Las Vegas, if you're looking for concerts Las Vegas, you get more than just music. You get spectacle and shows unlike any other place in Nevada.
To start, let's split concerts into two categories:
- Single time events. These are concerts from that come into a venue in Las Vegas for a short time and are always changing. Places like The Joint at the Hard Rock (my favorite concert venue in all of LV ) or Mandalay Bay 's House of Blues have the biggest names in rock and hip hop come through, and usually those tickets aren't cheap.
- Permanent Engagements. These are acts like Celine Dion and Wayne Newton that are always in town, or even have their own venue built for their show. That also includes acts like Blue Man Group, and the Cirque De Soleil shows.
There are many ways to get the best tickets to the single events . The hotel sponsoring the Concerts LV is sometimes the best place for the best reservations, but ticket brokers almost always get their hands on some. Viptickets.com is a local company that seems to have an endless supply of cheap reservations for the big concerts.
As for the permanent engagements, the hotel is definitely the best place to get the best seats at a cheap price. Often you can get comped tickets to shows if you are part of the local hotel's slot club, or are a high roller. If you are into concerts, almost everyone comes through Clark County at some time or another and a Las Vegas concert is like no other.
