Best Places To See A Show In Las Vegas
By Bob Johnson, Mon Dec 26th
Think of Las Vegas and you think of music, right? Elvis, WayneNewton, Tom Jones. But where do you go when you want to seeconcerts by bands and artists who’ve hit the charts within thelast twenty years?

The best place to see concerts in Vegas is without a doubt atthe MGM Grand Garden arena, though the House of Blues atMandalay Bay is a very close second. In fact, the House of Blueshas a vociferous fan base that swears it’s much better than theGrand. The House of Blues features attractions that just aren’tgoing to make it to the Grand, at least not yet. MGM gets thebig names like U2 and the Eagles, while the House of Blues getsthe really interesting bands like the Dropkick Murphys. Eitherway, both venues have played a role in making Vegas a topdestination for currently popular acts.

There’s only one thing in Las Vegas that’s louder than a rockconcert and you really don’t even have to move your head asmuch. Some might consider it a strange relationship to marryVegas and Nascar, but then who ever thought Vegas and punk rockwould get married? The Las Vegas 400 has quickly settled in asone of the city’s top local sports events. Of course, it’s notcalled the Las Vegas 400 anymore, but why give a certain carcompany free advertising when you don’t have to. If watchingcars go in a circle for three hours isn’t your idea of fun, thenyou can always check out the National Finals Rodeo. This 10-dayevent features all those things that make rodeos what they are:roping, broncin’ and clowns slipping on cowpies. Who wouldn’tprefer that to Nascar? Then again, Nascar features car wrecks at150 mph.

Oddly enough, Las Vegas has no major professional sports team.Perhaps the Saints will eventually make the move if certaincongressmen have their way and New Orleans isn’t rebuilt. Untilthen, Las Vegas is the name and hockey is the game. Whaaaattt?Las Vegas has a hockey team? Yes. But that’s not the reallyweird part. Las Vegas has a hockey team, the Wranglers, who playin–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 inLas Vegas, there was, is and always will be just one show intown. The Running Rebels of UNLV. Sure, they haven’t been a bonafide contender since they had to start playing by the same rulesas their opponents, but memories of past NCAA Tournament glorykeep bringing the fans back.
