Enjoying Live Music in Vegas

By Helen Gerogette


Concert venues in Las Vegas go from the big to the intimate. Just like everything else in Sin City, whatever your personal choice turns out to be, you can find it somewhere in Las Vegas.

The Pearl

The Pearl Concert Theater has something for everybody. Top acts ranging from heavy metal to pop and beyond play its halls regularly, making it perfect for almost any age. The theater sits within the Palms Casino Resort on the busy 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 change, with a number of the current acts ranging between forty four dollars and 80 dollars per entranceticket.

The House of Blues

Another venue housed in and around a casino resort, this one the Mandalay Bay, The House of Blues Music Hall deals with music royalty and music quality from one or two genres. Something is almost always taking place at The House of Blues. Each Sun., the Crossroads at House of Blues, next door, hosts the Gospel Brunch, with kids 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 about the same as The Pearl.

The Colosseum at Caesar's Palace

When talking about Las Vegas concert venues, The Colosseum is presumably the most famous name for music. It seats up to 4,300 inside a re-created Roman Colosseum affiliated with the lush Caesar's Palace resort. Some of the biggest names in music history have stayed to describe 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 fairly 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 Vegas. Though not as intimate as The Pearl or The House of Blues at 4,000 seats, the venue 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 change, but some shows will cost less than $30 while others may cost as much as $250. Most concerts will be 21 and up.

Orleans Arena

For those who may desire the experience of a massive concert stuffed with thousands of singing fans, the Orleans Arena might actually 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 massive arena-style concerts and larger locations, pricing will change according to the choice of seating and the event attended. This is proving to be one of the largest concert venues in Las Vegas that many people tend to rank very highly.
