Enjoying Live Music in Vegas

By Helen Gerogette


Concert venues in Las Vegas range all the way from the huge to the intimate. As with everything else in Sin City, regardless of what your preference turns out to be, you'll find it somewhere in this awesome city.

The Pearl

The Pearl Concert Theater has something for everyone. Top acts ranging from heavy metal to pop and beyond play its halls regularly, making it excellent for almost any age. The theater sits within the Palms Casino Resort on the bustling Strip in Vegas. It seats 2,500 with room for standing close to the stage, making it neither too big nor too small. Pricing for each show type will alter, with many of the prevailing acts ranging between $45 and eighty bucks per ticketticket.

The House of Blues

Another locale housed in and around a casino resort, this one the Mandalay Bay, The House of Blues Music Hall tends to music royalty and music quality from several genres. Something is almost always going down at The House of Blues. Each Sunday, the Crossroads at House of Blues, next door, hosts the Gospel Brunch, with children more than welcome. Between the 2 related Las Vegas concert venues, some shows are free to the general public while others can be less than $20 a ticket. Seating is on 3 levels, and overall capacity is roughly the same as The Pearl.

The Colosseum at Caesar's Palace

When it comes to Las Vegas concert venues, The Colosseum is doubtless the most famed name for music. It seats up to 4,300 inside a re-created Roman Colosseum associated with the opulent Caesar's Palace resort. Some of the largest names in music history have stayed to regard it as home for a period, like Cher and Bette Midler. Currently, the Colosseum hosts performers Celine Dion, Rod Stewart, Elton John, and Shania Twain. Though show times start reasonably early in the evening, better seating can cost from $500 for some performers.

The Joint

The Joint, first rock location in Vegas, is housed in The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Though not as intimate as The Pearl or The House of Blues at 4,000 seats, the locale still plays host to some well known bands, like Crosby, Stills & Nash, as well as the wilder and harder bands, for example Motley Crue and 5 Finger Death Punch. Costs will vary, but some shows will cost rather less than $30 while a few others may cost as much as $250. Most concerts will be 21 and up.

Orleans Arena

For people that may desire the experience of a big concert filled with thousands of repeating fans, the Orleans Arena might be the ticket. The Arena hosts family-friendly shows from Disney all of the way to major concerts from big-name stars. As with all enormous arena-style concerts and bigger venues, pricing will change according to the choice of seating and the event attended. This is definitely one of the largest concert venues in Las Vegas that many people tend to rank very highly.
