Best Places to See a show in Las Vegas
Think of Las Vegas and you think of music, right? Elvis, Wayne
Newton, Tom Jones. But where do you go when you want to see
concerts by bands and artists who've hit the charts within the
last twenty years?
The best place to see concerts in Vegas is without a doubt at
the MGM Grand Garden arena, though the House of Blues at
Mandalay Bay is a very close second. In fact, the House of Blues
has a vociferous fan base that swears it's much better than the
Grand. The House of Blues features attractions that just aren't
going to make it to the Grand, at least not yet. MGM gets the
big names like U2 and the Eagles, while the House of Blues gets
the really interesting bands like the Dropkick Murphys. Either
way, both venues have played a role in making Vegas a top
destination for currently popular acts.
There's only one thing in Las Vegas that's louder than a rock
concert and you really don't even have to move your head as
much. Some might consider it a strange relationship to marry
Vegas and Nascar, but then who ever thought Vegas and punk rock
would get married? The Las Vegas 400 has quickly settled in as
one of the city's top local sports events. Of course, it's not
called the Las Vegas 400 anymore, but why give a certain car
company free advertising when you don't have to. If watching
cars go in a circle for three hours isn't your idea of fun, then
you can always check out the National Finals
Rodeo. This 10-day
event features all those things that make rodeos what they are:
roping, broncin' and clowns slipping on cowpies. Who wouldn't
prefer that to Nascar? Then again, Nascar features car wrecks at
150 mph.
Oddly enough, Las Vegas has no major professional sports team.
Perhaps the Saints will eventually make the move if certain
congressmen have their way and New Orleans isn't rebuilt. Until
then, Las Vegas is the name and hockey is the game. Whaaaattt?
Las Vegas has a hockey team? Yes. But that's not the really
weird part. Las Vegas has a hockey team, the Wranglers, who play
in--get this--the East Coast Hockey League. They're not bad,
either, making it into the playoffs in their first year in town.
But let's face it, we all know that when it comes to sports in
Las Vegas, there was, is and always will be just one show in
town. The Running Rebels of UNLV. Sure, they haven't been a bona
fide contender since they had to start playing by the same rules
as their opponents, but memories of past NCAA Tournament glory
keep bringing the fans back.
