Summertime Las Vegas Concerts at Station Casinos (Part 3)

May 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The "Party of the Rock" concert series has big-name bands in a 450-seat lounge for $20. Very nice!

YOU’RE NOT GOING to believe the ticket price points of some of our Las Vegas concerts this summer! Our “Party On The Rocks” concert series at Red Rock Resort kicked off last Saturday, May 22 inside Rocks Lounge with the Blues Rock of the Robert Cray Band.  The series will feature live Rock and Alternative music from bands performing long sets with no opening acts, and get this – tickets start at only $20 plus tax/fees! There’s a VIP Package worth noting for these shows, too. For $300, you and your party receive eight tickets and a select bottle of vodka, whiskey or rum to enjoy in an exclusive area of your own.

The Memorial Day weekend concerts in Las Vegas at Red Rock are set to go off at the Red Rock outdoor concert venue, the Sandbar. George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic is sure to get Summerlin shakin’ on Friday night, while Loverboy rocks Red Rock on Saturday and Alt-rockers OK Go & The Cab finish out the holiday weekend. These show tickets start at only $15 plus tax/fees, and Sunday’s show is 18 +, a rarity for the Las Vegas local music scene.

You can’t discuss Las Vegas concert value without mentioning Station Casinos’ weekly concerts.

Thursdays bring Boulder Blues to Boulder Station. This is a fan favorite and a hidden gem in Vegas. Las Vegas Blues fans drive from miles around every Thursday night to pack The Railhead for great touring Blues bands.

Fridays are for Yellow Brick Road at Green Valley Ranch. Las Vegas Review-Journal Readers picked them as the best local rock band in the city for 2010. In other words: don’t miss YBR at GVR!

Saturday nights at Sunset Station are now known for Nawgahyde. This gang of goofy rednecks packs a punch and packs the dance floor with southern rock, classics and metal tribute tunes. They call it Kick Ass Mustache Rock, and the fans tell us that they’re right.

Nashville Unplugged at Green Valley Ranch is a unique monthly performance with Country’s top singers/songwriters showcasing the songs they helped take up the charts. For only $5, this is a can’t-miss for Country fans living in or visiting Las Vegas.

In our first post about summer concerts at Station Casinos we touched on musical variety. Here we’re talking quality and let’s start with the KYCE Fan Jam inside Ovation at GVR on June 18 featuring live Country music from Chris Young and Eric Church, the current and last week’s No. 1 Billboard Country artists, respectively. Joe Nichols topped the charts three times and has 14 Top 40 singles. He performs live at Santa Fe Station June 26. Patty Loveless (10/9 at Santa Fe Station) was named Top Female Vocalist in 1996 and 1997 by the Academy of Country Music. Michael Bolton has eight Top 10 albums, and two No. 1 singles. He’s set to perform under the stars at Sunset Amphitheater on September 18.

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!)
