Summertime Las Vegas Concerts at Station Casinos (Part 1)

May 19, 2010 By 1 Comment

SUMMERTIME IN LAS Vegas means hot days (a.k.a. pool season) and fun-filled crazy nights. We covered your afternoons and some great Las Vegas casino pool tips last week, and now we want to be sure you know where to enjoy your evenings with this impressive lineup of live music in Las Vegas. Currently, there are more than 40 concerts on tap for you this summer. This week, we hope you enjoy this three-part series written to showcase the variety, quality and value you can expect from Station Casinos concerts.

Part 1 of 3: Variety

Las Vegas is a city everyone can enjoy, so we make sure there’s music for everyone when you get here, or if you live here. Let’s call it an all-you-listen buffet of live Las Vegas music that you hope never ends (sort of like a guitar riff from Robert Cray). That’s why our Entertainment Department is the best in the business. If you like smooth jazz, country classics or if you just plain wanna rock, Station Casinos is your best bet.

Kicking off our summer concerts at Red Rock is The Robert Cray Band, this Saturday, May 22 inside the 450-seat Rocks Lounge. (Tip: Check into the 8-ticket VIP package for a great party!). Followed by The Memorial Weekend Concert Series: George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic on Friday, Loverboy on Saturday, and OK Go and The Cab on Sunday. (How are we doing so far on the variety?)

Jazz fans will love Guitars & Saxes featuring Gerald Albright, Jeff Golub, Kirk Whalum and Peter White at Boulder Station (5/28); R & R featuring Rick Braun & Richard Elliot at Aliante Station (6/18); and an evening under the stars at Sunset Amphitheater with Dave Koz, Jonathan Butler and special guest Sheila E (7/24).  There’s more: Michael Franks, Ottmar Leibert and Chris Botti are all on the schedule. Here’s a link for times and to buy concert tickets to our Las Vegas shows.

After Green Valley Ranch won an Academy of Country Music Award for 2010 Casino of the Year, you knew Station Casinos would continue to deliver great Country music. This summer, we have you Country fans covered. Check the top two spots of the current Billboard Country Chart and come back tomorrow to learn more about our Las Vegas Country concerts in tomorrow’s post – Part 2: Quality.

You already know Red Rock ROCKS (Loverboy, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Dave Mason, Patty Smyth And Scandal – plus much more in the Party On The Rocks Series), but this summer – there’s great rock concerts all around the Las Vegas Valley. Classic hard-rockers Great White take the stage July 30 at Sunset Station Amphitheater for a Listener Appreciation Party with KOMP 92.3, and Kenny Loggins is set to perform under the stars there the very next night. ASIA plays Green Valley Ranch on September 3, and look for even more summer concert announcements to come!

Hey, we told you there was variety!

(Continued in Part 2, showcasing the quality of entertainment you’ll see this summer!)
