December 2, 2011 By 21 Comments

WE’RE VERY EXCITED about our Las Vegas 2011 concert schedule here at Station Casinos. We pride ourselves in providing value, and great music for every taste, with a touch of comedy for your funny bone from time to time, too. So excited and proud, in fact, I’ve agreed to blog in this space about the shows each month with a preview and a little inside information of what you can expect. If you would like to attend any of our shows this month, or look even further ahead on our 2011 entertainment schedule, here’s our spot to buy Las Vegas concert tickets.

Enjoy the shows, we look forward to entertaining you!

Judy Alberti

Vice President of Entertainment, Station Casinos

December 2011 Concerts In Las Vegas

Happy Holidays everyone! Wouldn’t you agree that giving the gift of concert tickets is better than say, a sweater? This month, we asked a question around the office: “What’s the best concert you have seen, and why?”

My favorite by far was Waylon Jennings at Texas Station. He was a favorite in my household growing up. When I was able to bring him to a Station Casino, I actually teared up for the first and only time when an artist walked onto one of our stages. He has subsequently passed away, but I am always proud that his last two plays in Las Vegas were with us.

Here are a few of the responses to our “best concert” question that we got back from various team members at our offices:

Pink Floyd.  Division Bell Tour -Soldier Field
I was just a casual fan at the time, and that show changed my life. It wasn’t just a concert, it was a religious experience.
P.S. I was sober; no really, I was sober, I swear. Marc – Art Director

About 5 years ago I was working at the Hard Rock Hotel in the marketing department and we put on the most epic night in the history of that casino. It was Rolling Stone Magazine’s 40th anniversary party and we went all out. We had 50 Cent and Angels and Airwaves performing at the pool, Linkin Park in the parking lot, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton at Body English and then a private invite-only performance by Kanye West in the Joint. All at the same time!!! There were only about 500 of us in the Joint as Kanye was putting on an amazing show. All of a sudden, the lights all went out and Jamie Foxx walked through the middle of the crowd , jumped up on stage, and they started performing Golddigger! Everyone went wild.- Kyle – Director of Nightlife

String Cheese Incident with Keller Williams in Tulum, Mexico. December 1998. When you combine a high energy band and a Mayan temple things get mystical, magical and decadent real fast.  - Rich – Web Developer

It was Led Zeppelin, at the Los Angeles Forum, during the Presence Tour, June, 1977. Why? It was Led Zeppelin, that’s why! - Jeff – Sr. Copy Writer

My most memorable concert experience was this past summer at the Revolution Party for the People summer Concert Series at Red Rock Sandbar Pool. Lifehouse was performing and we had to open the doors about 20 minutes late because it might rain. Well we got the concert going and it was a great night, Lifehouse did a great show and as they finished up a song the stage went black and they walked off stage leaving the crowd wondering if that was the end. A few minutes later the lights came back on and they came back out performing one of their top hits, just a little into the song it lightly started to rain and the crowd just erupted with everyone dancing in the rain. That night was an amazing show and a great experience.  - Tim, Nightlife Interactive Media Development

Lenny Kravitz at Retama Park. I got second-hand stoned. You probably can’t use that, but it’s true. - Anonymous (we promised)

Before working at Red Rock I had been to a whole two concerts. Spice Girls in fifth grade, (awesome by the way) and some Country Fest with my parents. When the Revolution Concert Series started I was stoked. I attended every show and loved them all! Puddle of Mudd was by far the most eventful concert to me. The line wrapped all the way out the doors, passed the movie theatres, into the bowling alley, and back around. I had never seen so many familiar faces in one place! It was like an unplanned family and friend reunion! To top it all off, it started raining on the last few songs of the concert. Everyone loved it and just continued to dance, sing, and cheer! The night continued with the after parties at the Cabana Club, Rocks Lounge, then at the Cherry Suite! By far the most amazing concert experience. I’m pretty sure the sun was up when I got home. - Lexi, Nightlife Guest Development

Best concert I’ve seen would have to be Enrique Iglesias & Pitbull at Red Rock Resort a couple months ago. I was with a great group of people so I already anticipated an enjoyable night but once Pitbull hit the stage my expectations were blown away. Not only did the performers put on a stellar performance but the energy in the venue was AMAZING and highly contagious. Seeing 9,000 people in one area going wild with excitement was a unique experience that carried it’s energy into the rest of my night. What a great memory! - Tricia, Nightlife & Special Events Manager

I think I have about 50, but Rage Against the Machine at Denver Colosseum during the Battle Of Los Angeles tour stands out. I traded lousy tickets for floor tickets with a friend who wanted to put the moves on some girls. Rage was at their peak, and Tom Morello blew my mind with insane guitar solos that I can remember vividly  13 years later. The entire arena was a ball of energy and now I have the visuals to go with the classic songs I still listen to. - Nate, Social Media

I ask you, when you’re out shopping for that sweater or socks…. think about giving the the gift of concert tickets and maybe making someone’s “best concert” list. I’m booking shows for 2012, and I’m proud to say there are excellent shows coming! To name a few, Joe Nichols has 2 shows next weekend at Santa Fe Station, Aaron Lewis’ amazing acoustic performances always sell out, and Styx, Joe, George Thorogood, the Little River Band are sure to create memories!

November 2011 Concerts In Las Vegas

This month is about charity. The beautiful and talented Leann Rimes was set to kick off the giving season with a performance on November 3 at Green Valley Ranch, but due to an unfortunate illness the day of the show, the  benefit concert has been rescheduled and moved to Santa Fe Station on December 3. The $9.55 tickets went quickly, but a few may become available. Check ticket availability here.

Green Valley Ranch and our friends at RagTag Entertainment have a very busy month ahead. We’ll go into details on these shows for you this week, but in the meantime visit this page to see a lineup of great performances.

Classic Rock fans won’t want to miss Blue Oyster Cult live at Boulder Station’s Railhead on Nov. 18th and we’re getting funky with Average White Band at Green Valley Ranch’s Ovation on Nov. 12th.

October 2011 Concerts In Las Vegas

We kicked off a groovy October with the blues rock legends, ZZ Top at Sunset Station, and we have a giant weekend planned Oct. 7th & 8th at Red Rock!

September 2011 Concerts In Las Vegas

Just because the days are getting cooler this month, that doesn’t mean the Las Vegas Concert scene isn’t as hot as ever. We’ll be hosting dozens of indoor and outdoor shows this month.

July 2011 Concerts In Las Vegas

Really enjoyed Grace Potter as part of our Revolution series.

Can you believe it’s July already!? We’re halfway through 2011, and we’re headed for more great shows.

No matter what you’re into musically, Station Casinos likely has a concert for you in July. There’s Soul (70’s Soul Jam), Jazz (Dave Koz and Najee), Alt Rock (Neon Trees and Lifehouse), Banda (Banda Maguey, Los Baby’s & Los Bondadosos) Comedy (Last Comic Standing Winner, Iliza Shlesinger) and Country Classics (David Frizzell & Shelly West). Also, American Idol finalist Casey James performs at Santa Fe Station on July 30th. See all of the upcoming Las Vegas concerts at Station Casinos here.

I enjoy reading your comments here on the Station Casinos blog, and we also read our facebook pages and twitter every day. We see that we have lots of Buckinghams and Daughtry fans on our pages, for example, and we know you love our weekly entertainment, too.

Now I want to learn more about the shows you want to see! So, please comment below the three shows you’d most like to see, and which Station Casinos venue would best host the show.

Thanks for reading and thanks for the feedback!

May 2011 Concerts in Las Vegas

Hi again everyone.

We’ll start with the BIG news that we’re building a new concert venue in Las Vegas, and even bigger news is that we have two giant shows booked for it already: Motley Crue, Poison and the New York Dolls are set to perform June 18, and Toby Keith with special guest Eric Church on August 6 will be rockin’ the new Red Rock Casino Amphitheatre! We’ll talk more about the amazing new amphitheatre at Red Rock in upcoming posts but for now I can tell you that the Toby concert will be all reserved seating, so get your Toby Keith tickets early as they go on sale this Saturday (April 30) at 10am.

As I write this, we’re finishing off a busy April, and kicking off the biggest summer concert season in Station Casinos’ history. Probably the biggest in Las Vegas history! There are more shows than ever at Station Casinos throughout the valley, with something for every music fan’s taste.

Robert Cray, Sean Kingston, Echo and The Bunnymen and the Barenaked Ladies all play at May concerts Red Rock. How’s that for diversity? We can’t say enough about the pool-party-concert-extravaganza we have in store for Las Vegas in the Revolution Party for the People with the Barenaked Ladies on Memorial Day weekend (May 27). $30 gets a Local a lot of Love.

We’re also excited to welcome our old friend, Michael Grimm, to his Green Valley Ranch home, at Ovation on May 9. You know him as the winner of America’s Got Talent in 2010. We know him as the good guy/amazing musical talent who performed at many Station Casinos’ lounges and steakhouses throughout the past several years. Another repeat performance of sorts during May is the return of the musical Rent at GVR, which will run every Tuesday in May and June after sold-out performances earlier this year.

Our Country fans tell us they’re excited to see the Merle Haggard show at the Sunset Amphitheatre at Sunset Station on May 13, our Jazz fans are headed to Santa Fe Station for Norman Brown and Richard Elliot’s Summer Jam, and the ro

ckers will love Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience at Aliante Station on May 28.

Two more great shows in May I want to mention and we hope will enjoy are Blues guitarist and music legend Johnny Rivers, Secret Agent Man, at Aliante Station on May 6, and Dokken & Quiet Riot are playing a free Listener Appreciation Concert at Sunset Station. Listen to 97.1 KXPT and 92.3KOMP for ticket giveaway details.

It’s really heating up around here!

April 2011 Concerts in Las Vegas

No foolin’ – here at Station Casinos, we love April. The weather warms up, pools open up and most importantly – later this month the outdoor stages go up.

Our first outdoor show of 2011 is a big one: the Darius Rucker concert at Sunset Amphitheater on the 29thfeaturing. Darius just did a stunning show on the ACM Awards so we expect another amazing performance. Then, the following night, Great White and Slaughter perform for 97.1 KXPT and 92.3 KOMP’s  Listener-Appreciation Concert. Be sure to listen to those two stations to find out where you can pick up your free concert tickets in Las Vegas. Folk rocker Livingston Taylor will perform inside at Sunset Station’s Club Madrid (9th).

MORE OUTDOOR CONCERTS: Check out the poolside concert lineup at Red Rock starting May 3!

Last Saturday (2nd), Rock legends Heart performed at the Grand Events Center at Green Valley Ranch. Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson rocked the capacity crowd with all the classics! If you enjoyed the Heart concert (see pictures below), and be sure to mark your calendar for the 29th for the Foreigner concert at GVR, as well.  (Did you know they have sold an amazing 70 million albums?) We also announced that the musical Rent, after a very well-received run the last two months, will be coming back to GVR’s Ovation. Tickets for the musical Rent, Tuesdays in May and June, are just $15 plus tax/fees and available now.

Boulder Station’s Railhead hosts April Las Vegas concerts with Eddie Money (15th), Eric Burdon & The Animals (22nd), and Edwin McCain (23rd). If you haven’t seen a concert in Las Vegas at the Railhead, you should catch any of these shows, plus – they are all priced very reasonably. We’re told it’s one of the best places in Vegas to see a concert!

George Thorogood And The Destroyers will perform classics such as “Bad To the Bone,” and “Move It On Over” at the Dallas Events Center inside Texas Station on April 30th

Fiesta Rancho hosts Michel’Le & Christopher William (8th) and Chico DeBarge on (29th). Chuy Lizarraga (3oth) also performs in Club Tequila at Fiesta Rancho. His first hit “La Peinada (La Peinadita),” broke into the Top 10 of the Billboard charts.

Aliante Station’s Access Showroom is the place to be on April 8 if you like 60’s Soul Sounds. The Rascals & Mitch Ryder roll into Las Vegas to perform songs you know, such as: “Good Lovin’,” “Devil with a Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly,” and “It’s a Beautiful Morning.” At nearby Santa Fe Station, on April 23, you can catch BJ Thomas (all-ages) at Chrome, and you can get “Hooked On A Feeling” and appropriately for April, hear “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head.” BJ Thomas concert tickets start at just $20+tax/fees for this show.

You can Party On The Rocks five times this month at Red Rock! Come see The Edgar Winter Group (2nd); Morris Day & The Time, one of the best live shows you’ll ever see on the 9th; Bruce Hornsby (16th) treats us to a rare appearance in Vegas; Cowboy Mouth (23rd), who sold out this same room last summer; and the recent Grammy Award Winner Leon Russell (30th).  Can you believe these Party on the Rocks tickets are just $20+ tax/fees?

 

March 2011 Concerts in Las Vegas

March is sure to be a great month for music fans in Las Vegas at Station Casinos: 10 great concerts, 1 comedian and 4 plays, to be precise.

This month brings us something very special to Ovation inside Green Valley Ranch with the Ragtag Entertainment production of the Broadway classic, RENT. Benefitting Golden Rainbow, these shows are each Wednesday night in March (9, 16, 23, and 30). What’s more, tickets to see RENT in Las Vegas are only $15 + tax & fees. Don’t miss it!

Music-wise, start things off March 4 at Boulder Station’s Railhead with The Alan Parsons Live Project. (Get your Alan Parsons tickets quick, they’re going fast!) Classic Country music fans will want to be back the following night at the Railhead for Roy Clark. Also March 5 across town at Red Rock see the harmonica guru known for his days as the front man of Blues Traveler, John Popper and The Duskray Troubadours. Rocks Lounge is such an exciting and intimate place to see a band like this - so much diversity.

Exclusive Video of Aaron Lewis performing live at Aliante Station, January 2011

Christian Rock fans in Las Vegas should be excited for March 11 at Santa Fe Station. Stryper is touring and celebrating their new album, The Covering – a tribute album compiled of the band’s influences. Here’s a tip: There’s a very special VIP Meet and Greet ticket upgrade for Stryper available.

March 12 at Green Valley Ranch is another huge name you know: Huey Lewis and The News! We’re refraining from Hip-To-Be-Square calls to action, so let’s just agree to hurry and grab your Huey Lewis tickets while they last. Same night in Summerlin at Red Rock is Vertical Horizon, who went Double Platinum with their album, Everything You Want, back in ’99. Brought to you by Belvedere Vodka, Party On The Rocks tickets at Rocks Lounge are just $20 + tax & fees.

Al Stewart returns to Vegas at Sunset Station on March 18, and the hilarious Comedian Doug Stanhope is back at Sunset inside Club Madrid the following night.

Aaron Lewis of Staind plays back-to-back acoustic shows at Green Valley Ranch’s Ovation on the 19 and 20. (Important note: Aaron Lewis will perform two different sets on Saturday and Sunday, so don’t miss this unique opportunity). We have some exclusive footage from his recent sold-out January show at Aliante Station. As you can see, Aaron Lewis puts on a great show.

Toad The Wet Sprocket rounds out March inside Rocks Lounge at Red Rock for a show on March 26. The Red Rock facebook fans told us that they had a blast with Toad last time around, and we’re excited to have them back!

Our February Las Vegas Concerts

There are no less than 19 fantastic Las Vegas shows lined up for music fans in February starting with Eddy Raven this Friday 4, at Aliante Station (Access Showroom tickets start at $15 plus tax/fees) Did you know he had 17 consecutive Top 10s between 1984 and 1990?

On Feb. 5, the legendary Blue Oyster Cult will rock Boulder Station’s Railhead, one of the best music venues in Las Vegas. Those tickets start at just $26.50 plus tax & fees. Red Rock will also be partying on the 5th, with the launch of the second season of Party On The Rocks concerts and the Gin Blossoms.

On Feb. 11, Las Vegas Jazz music fans get a real treat at Boulder Station with the return of Guitars & Saxes featuring super-talents Gerald Albright, Peter White, Jeff Golub and Kirk Whalum. Last year, this show sold out well in advance. Also on the 11th, Mix 94.1 has partnered with Aliante Station to bring you Ryan Star, and the tickets for this show are just $9.41 + tax/fees! It’s been a while since concert ticket prices were that low!  Comedian, SIRIUS Radio show host and avid metal music fan, Jim Norton, will crack up comedy fans at Sunset Station that same night, and he’ll be fresh off an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Feb. 12 brings The Georgia Satellites (Red Rock), Christopher Cross (Sunset Station) and Johnny Gill for Las Vegas R&B music fans at Texas Station.

Guitar hero Robin Trower returns to the Railhead on Feb. 18. If you like a great guitar solo, don’t miss Trower in such a perfect venue to match his style. That same night, Al DiMeola will spice up Green Valley Ranch with his Latin-influenced jazz fusion.

Country music legend George Jones performs Feb. 19 at the Dallas Events Center at Texas Station. That same night, Southern Rockers The Atlanta Rhythm Section will be Partying On The Rocks in Summerlin at Red Rock.

A Guest Blogger’s Perfect Night Out Under the Stars

September 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment

SO AS A Vegas local its not often that we get to enjoy quality concerts outdoors at night. Up until this point we have only had one on-Strip option for this and it has its drawbacks. So much to my surprise Red Rock Casino invested a lot of resources into building an outdoor concert stage and a really dynamic lineup. It’s still a surprise to me that this entire experience isn’t on the strip.

So depending on the size of the audience for their summer concert series the show is either out by the pool or in the newly built outdoor arena. The night I ventured out featured The Gypsy Kings and was out by the pool. Walking out to the pool area I suddenly realized that there probably wasn’t a more perfect venue for this show. A concert under the stars is a fun and unique experience which if you haven’t done yet you simply aren’t living. There was ample space and the sound was great. It seemed natural that this should be the place for shows like this.

The other big perk was the seating options! You can take a seat and lounge by the pool, you can sit on a raised area overlooking the entire event, or sit in a tiered seating area in front of the stage. Quite honestly there seemed to be only one drawback and that would be all the bars are cash only. So if you venture out, and lets be honest you should, make sure you hit the ATM before going in.

Now I have spent this entire time gushing on the venue but, I should say something about The Gypsy Kings. Never can I recall seeing such a diverse crowd in one place. Their music was great and everyone was having a blast. Personally my only let down is they didn’t play their version of “You got a friend in me” from Toy Story 3 but, lets be honest I doubt that was going to happen. It was really a great night with a perfect combination of place, people, and music.

Toby, Vegas & Stations … Now And Then

July 21, 2011 By 1 Comment

BY NOW YOU have heard that Toby Keith is returning to Red Rock on August 6 with Eric Church and JT Hodges. We go way back with Toby Keith. In fact, he has performed more concerts at Station Casinos than any other headlining artist. Since the mid-1990s, Toby has rocked Las Vegas Country fans at six Station Casinos:  Boulder Station, Texas Station, Palace Station, Sunset Station, Red Rock and Green Valley Ranch!

Have you read my Monthly Entertainment Blog Post?

When we announced the show back in April, some of our facebook friends asked questions referring to our most recent Toby Keith concert in Las Vegas, back in 2009 at Red Rock. This one’s much different:

  • Brand new venue – the Red Rock Casino Amphitheatre (with newly painted seat lettering).
    • Toby Keith Concert Seating Map

    Toby Keith Concert Seating Map

  • Bigger show – It has 8,800 seats – ALL reserved. Click on seating chart to the right here.
  • Can I get a drink? You bet. At any of 40 bars – minimizes your wait time so you can get back to your seat quickly.
  • Can I get a good seat and see the show better? Yes! The farthest seat is 220 ft from the stage. There are no bad seats.
  • How is the parking? Improved. You can park at either parking garage, but we recommend the overflow lot on the corner of Park Center and Pavilion Center Drive. Enter from Charleston Blvd.
  • How much are tickets? Tickets start at just $43! Big fan? Upgrade to $69, $89, or $125 tickets. (Plus taxes and fees).

 
Here’s where to purchase Toby Keith Concert Tickets – before they’re gone!

We’ll end with this classic Toby Keith video, one of my faves, Should’ve Been A Cowboy!

Previewing the ‘Revolution’ary Summer Shows at Red Rock

May 17, 2011 By 8 Comments

IF YOU GO to concerts in Vegas, we have probably bumped elbows, or for sure waited for a beverage in line together. See, I attend quite a few live shows. My wife and I catch around 60-70 concerts per year, give or take, in and around Vegas.

I think that’s why I have been asked to preview the summer series at Red Rock: Revolution – Party for the People. The series of Las Vegas concerts kicks off Memorial Day weekend, and I’m STOKED.  Call me biased because I work for Station Casinos if you want – but I’d be Red Rockin’ poolside this summer even if I didn’t. There’s a wide variety of great talent coming to entertain us – and the shows are all just $30!

Let’s face it: a lot of Las Vegans could use an affordable, warm night out under the stars with cold drinks, great music, and beautiful people.  That’s exactly what Judy Alberti, our Entertainment VP has line up for us this summer (check out her monthly blog).Oh yeah, and you got to like Red Rock on facebook because we’re giving away free tickets and stuff.

Here’s what you can expect, along with my 2 cents about each show:

5/27 – Barenaked Ladies. Revolution series’ kickoff bash.  This will be a big party, with great weather. Expect: lots of sing-a-longs. Except for that one song with the Chinese Chicken. I doubt many know the words. I sure don’t. Barenaked Ladies concert tickets

6/3 – Goo Goo Dolls. Expect: lots of beautiful ladies, fun couples, great rock music for the masses. You’ll know the songs from years of hits. Look forward to a perfect warm night of poolside music and happy people. Can’t beat that. Goo Goo Dolls concert tickets

Red Rock is offering a cool package deal where you get
2 free tickets with any Friday night stay!

6/10 – O.A.R. I’m really looking forward to seeing this band live. I recently watched an HDNet concert of theirs, and it was fantastic. They are known as one of the best performances you can catch. Think DMB/Phish vibe, lots of long, super funky guitar solos and killer harmonies. O.A.R. concert tickets

6/17 – Steel Pulse. I’m not a huge reggae fan, but I absolutely love reggae shows. I saw UB40 at the Red Rock pool a few years ago (before I worked for Station Casinos) and my friends and I had a blast. Reggae is good-time music. If you attend this show and you don’t have fun, you should check your pulse. Steel Pulse concert tickets

6/24 – Gavin DeGraw. Expect: groovy piano jams with fun, funky vocals. You’ll know the songs, and if you’re not sure, go to YouTube. His tunes are the ones with 4.8, 3.6, and 1.8 million views. Gavin DeGraw concert tickets

7/1 – Grace Potter & The Nocturnals. A friend and co-worker turned me on to GP & TN after her last visit to Las Vegas. He just said: go buy this album and see her next time they’re in town. I did, and I will. You should too, if you like great rock n roll music. Grace Potter concert tickets

7/8 – Puddle Of Mudd. Expect: loud, hot, and heavy. None of these are bad things. I recommend cutting loose and opening up to this type of band, if you don’t already. You’ll find that this is a very good, well-rounded band. I bet you’ll even find that you know more songs than you thought. Puddle Of Mudd concert tickets

7/15 – Neon Trees. Expect: big, beautiful crowd. Then Expect: to be humming their songs for a few days and weeks after the show.  They recently opened for The Killers and My Chemical Romance, and again, if you need a sample, check out YouTube. (Roughly 10 million other people did!) Neon Trees concert tickets

7/29 – Lifehouse. This is one of the biggest bands of the last 10 years. You’ll recognize many of their songs from rotation of our radio partner, Mix 94.1 here in Las Vegas, as well as various TV shows, like Smallville, Cold Case, Grey’s Anatomy, Scrubs and The Hills. Expect: big turnout, great party. You can already picture the ladies singing along in the pool, can’t ’cha? Lifehouse concert tickets

8/5 – Weezer. This series will end with a plaid-patterned, pocket-protected bang, friends. That’s because, frankly, Weezer is just that huge. Who knew “nerd-rock” was even a genre? I saw Weezer play at Vegoose a few years ago, and they made me into a fan. Expect: a sell-out. Expect: an awesome party. Expect: to know all the songs. Expect: to be blown away! Weezer concert tickets

Have you seen any of the bands in concert already? Which are you coming to for sure? … thinking about coming? Let me know below!

He’s also had Top 10 hits with the songs “Take You There” and “Fire Burning.” tickets to Sean Kingston

June 3 – Goo Goo Dolls

June 10 – O.A.R.

The band O.A.R., short for Of A Revolution, got their start as classmates at Ohio State University in the late ’90s. It didn’t take long before they were headlining gigs and made a national name for themselves on the jam band and mainstream circuit. Songs like “That Was a Crazy Game of Poker,” “Love and Memories,” “Heard the World” and “Shattered” have provided the band with a consistent fan base throughout today. tickets to O.A.R.

They also won a Grammy for the album Babylon the Bandit that features the song “Not King James Version.” tickets to Steel Pulse

June 24 – Gavin DeGraw

Singer songwriter Gavin DeGraw got what seemed slow, but was a sure start in the music scene following the release of his debut album Chariot in 2003. He gained a small following in New York the year it was released, but by 2004, DeGraw had a Top 10 hit with the single “I Don’t Want to Be” off the album.

He continued to have hit songs, including “Follow Through” and “In Love with a Girl.” tickets to Gavin DeGraw

July 1 – Grace Potter & The Nocturnals

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are like a modern-day version of Tina Turner stroking the microphone in a spangled mini-dress while fronting the Rolling Stones circa Sticky Fingers. The proof is there for all to hear on the band’s third album for Hollywood Records, hitting Spring 2010, and marks an artistic breakthrough for a vital young band caught in the act of fulfilling its immense promise.

July 15 – Neon Trees

Like their name, Neon Trees are a combination of slick pop hooks and sturdy organic rock, both melodic and hard-hitting, their anthems of adolescent angst, longing, love lost and found, delivered with the kind of heart-on-the-sleeve passion that only comes from hard work and commitment. tickets to Neon Trees

July 29 – Lifehouse

The alt-metal quartet Puddle of Mudd has several hit songs to its name, including “Blurry,” “Drift & Die,” “She Hates Me” and “Away From Me,” among others. The band has continuously released albums, with the most recent Icon: The Best of Puddle of Mudd in November 2010. tickets to Lifehouse

They joined forces once again and the 2005 song “Beverly Hills” off the album Make Believe received platinum status, keeping Weezer that household name. tickets to Weezer

Interview with Las Vegas Band: Otherwise

March 21, 2011 By 1 Comment

EVEN WHEN, ESPECIALLY when, it comes to music, Station Casinos loves locals. Our entertainment managers build strong ties with many local bands, often booking them at our various casino lounges, showrooms, clubs and pools. We help local bands connect with new and old fans through our facebook pages and we talk them up on twitter, and share blog space with them just like this. GVR recently announced an upcoming show with Las Vegas’ favorite hard rockers, Otherwise. The Otherwise show at Green Valley Ranch is April 2, there’s no cover and we welcome those 21+. (Come early if you want a seat!)  We recently caught up with Otherwise front man, Las Vegas native, Adrian Patrick:

Adrian, you and your band mates in Otherwise have been busy! Congratulations on an exciting year. Where have you been recently?

2010 was a break-out year for us Wise-Ones; we had the opportunity to tour twice last year: during the summer on the Rockstar Mayhem Festival with Korn, Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Atreyu & In This Moment, and then again on a winter tour with In This Moment, Non-Point & Taking Dawn. So we were able to gain a lot of exposure across the entire nation & up into Canada, as well.

What’s the history of Otherwise, in a nutshell? Are you all from Las Vegas?

Yes, 3 out of 4 of us are born & bred here in Vegas. My brother & I started the band back in 2004 when we realized neither of us were going to play pro football! We needed to find a way to give our parents the life they deserve, while still feeding the fire within ourselves.

How did you connect with In This Moment, and what can you share with our readers about that experience?

We linked up with In This Moment through Grammy-nominated producer Kevin Churko. They needed a male-vocalist for their rock-metal duet “The Promise” so Kevin recommended yours truly, after we recorded our single “Lighthouse” with him. “The Promise” is currently in the Top 30 on the Billboard Active Rock chart & the rest, as they say, is musical history. In This Moment was one of our favorite bands before getting the opportunity to work with them, so it was the experience of a lifetime to get a chance to become friends with them; we’re blessed to know that band.

The rock scene is pretty tight here, isn’t it? Any area bands that Otherwise wants to give a shout-out?

The Vegas scene is pretty cool, TAKING DAWN & ADELITA’S WAY are two bands that have done well for all us Sin City rocker-boys by signing major-label deals & touring the world. Mike Stanley from CONFLICT OF INTEREST, Chase Grijalva from FALL IN VAIN & myself have been through a lot of the same struggles together. Plus, we have the support of some of the best venues in the nation thanks to remarkable people like Monica Reeves at Station Casinos, Holmie Pooser at the House of Blues & Mark Hornsby at the Black Door.

Are you a Mac or a PC? iPhone, or Droid?

None of the above, I use my cell phone strictly for texting purposes only… that’s all I need!

You’re playing in the same room Steel Panther packs on a weekly basis, so I’ll ask you some of the same questions I asked them:

Van Halen or Van Hagar? Definitely a Diamond Dave fan! (Note: a.k.a. Van Halen)

Ozzy or Lemmy? Since Kevin Churko did his last two albums, I have to go with Ozzy!

April 2nd at Ovation inside Green Valley Ranch is going to be a special night. Anything special we can say to the local Otherwise fans?

We are very lucky & grateful to have the kind of support that we do, here in our beloved Las Vegas. Yes, we’ve endured some very dark times as a band, but we’ve also seen the brightest Light together, & that’s largely thanks to the people here in this city who constantly motivate & inspire us to continue doing what we love. We’re always striving to make our supporters proud to call themselves Wise-Ones.

Las Vegas Music Scene: The Smithereens at Rocks Lounge

October 6, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Because Rocks Lounge is not an oversize venue and designed to be more intimate, Smithereens fans felt connected to their favorite band. Eye contact and exchanges of smiles with band members were apparent.

IN MY HOME of Las Vegas, in a comfortable, intimate setting, I got to be 18 again.

On September 25, 2010, music venue Rocks Lounge at Red Rock Casino Resort Spa played host to 1980s rock band The Smithereens and a roomful of their fans. The venue was perfect for such an event – mature enough for a thirty-something and forty-something crowd, yet contemporary and modern enough to feel vibrant and fresh. I received complimentary tickets to review the show, and being a Smithereens fan since I was a teenager, I was ecstatic to see them perform.

The Smithereens have aged, as have their fans. And with this age comes experience. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and The Smithereens are on the cusp of perfection with their talent and their concert set. They played the favorites, “Blood and Roses,” “Behind the Wall of Sleep,” “Top of the Pops,” and ended with “A Girl Like You.” If possible, they sounded even better than they did 20 years ago.

In between their hit songs, The Smithereens dispersed tunes from their own favorite band The Who. At first, the musical insertion was jarring. It seemed out of place. But after a few moments, and watching the band have a good time playing songs from The Who’s rock opera “Tommy,” somehow it all just seemed so natural. It suddenly made sense. Of course The Smithereens played The Who. Why wouldn’t they?

See upcoming acts in the Party on the Rocks concert series

Because Rocks Lounge is not an oversize venue and designed to be more intimate, Smithereens fans felt connected to their favorite band. Eye contact and exchanges of smiles with band members were apparent. There was no pushing and shoving for a stage view. While there was plenty of room for dancing, there was also a carpeted area and pub style tables for the laid back types (such as myself) who prefer to hang back and have a place to set their drinks. The carpeted area also provided great comfort for ladies sporting their highest of high heels (again, such as myself).

Sound quality was impressive. Unsure of my assessment, I asked an experienced musician who was present with me his opinion and he confirmed, “The sound is very balanced.” Between the intimacy, hip décor, great sound and the tightness of The Smithereens’ performance, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, feeling like a teenager again.

Service was friendly and helpful. Cocktail servers were abundant, and we never went long without a drink. Drink prices were reasonable, less expensive than those on the Strip. If the goal of Rocks Lounge is to provide a sophisticated, yet approachable setting for an audience who seeks shelter from a loud, shoulder-to-shoulder scene with overpriced drinks and aloof servers, then the venue has nailed it. And I look forward to going back again.

GVR Named Best Casino for Country Music by ACM

September 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment

STATION CASINOS is not just the home of Country music in Las Vegas, but nationwide.

Year after year, top touring Country acts stopping in Las Vegas have  played at Boulder Station, Texas Station, Santa Fe Station, Red Rock, Sunset Station and, of course, Green Valley Ranch. On Monday, the Academy of Country Music honored Green Valley Ranch with the award for Casino Of The Year 2010. GVR, home of Nashville Unplugged as well as the venue for some of best Las Vegas Country music concerts, was named the best casino for Country music as part of the Annual Academy of Country Music Awards’ 4th Annual ACM Honors evening at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn.

The Station Casinos Entertainment Team of Judy Alberti, Monica Reeves and Mandy Christine accepted the award at the ACM Awards. Since our fans helped us get this award by supporting our Las Vegas Country music concerts, we thought we would share photos of some of the highlights of the evening.
