Sin City's Top Concert Venues

By Helen Gerogette


Concert venues in Las Vegas range from the large to the intimate. Just like the rest in the incredible Vegas, regardless of what your preference turns out to be, you can find it somewhere in this awesome city.

The Pearl

The Pearl Concert Theater has something for everybody. Top acts starting from heavy metal to pop and beyond play its halls constantly, making it perfect for almost any age. The theater sits within the Palms Casino Resort on the bustling Strip in Vegas. It seats 2,500 with room for standing near the stage, making it neither too big nor too small. Pricing for each show type will alter, with many of the current acts ranging between forty four dollars and eighty bucks 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 tends to music royalty and music quality from 1 or 2 genres. Something is almost always taking place at The House of Blues. Every Sun., the Crossroads at House of Blues, next door, hosts the Gospel Brunch, with youngsters more than welcome. Between the two 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 approximately the same as The Pearl.

The Colosseum at Caesar's Palace

When talking about Las Vegas concert venues, The Colosseum is doubtless the most famed name for music. It seats up to 4,300 within a re-created Roman Colosseum affiliated with the opulent Caesar's Palace resort. Some of the most important names in music history have stayed to call it home for a time, like Cher and Bette Midler. Now, 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 upwards of $500 for some performers.

The Joint

The Joint, first rock location in Vegas, is housed in The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las 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, such as Motley Crue and 5 Finger Death Punch. Costs will vary, but some shows will cost significantly less than $30 while a few others may cost as much as $250. Most concerts will be 21 and up.

Orleans Arena

For those that may wish the experience of a massive concert filled with thousands of singing fans, the Orleans Arena might be the ticket. The Arena hosts family-friendly shows from Disney all the way to major concerts from big-name stars. As with all large arena-style concerts and larger venues, 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.
