  • Having lived in Vegas for 2 years I'd heard of the 51's but had never attended one of their games. That changed when a friend's daughter's dance studio was invited to participate in a presentation on the field before the game and to be on the field for the singing of God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch. I went to show my support (there were 30 of us), and for $12 I had one of the best experiences I've had in Vegas to date. First some tips: 1: If you've never been to Cashman Field before, look for ways to approach the place from the West or Northwest. Yes that takes you past some homeless camps and into a "sketchy" part of town. Lock your doors, suck it up, and be thankful that you can afford baseball tickets instead of living in a tent by a railroad overpass. 2: Parking in the State Office Building parking lot to the North of Cashman Field was free! It's not that bad of a walk to the field...but if it was a 115 degree day it could be a little rough. 3: Bring Cash. The ATM lines were loooooooooooong. (I was prepared and got to skip the lines). 4: Some vendors are cash only. But the 1st Base and 3rd Base Grills take debit cards and oh yeah, you don't have to sign any charge slips. Many places in Vegas could learn a thing or two from Aramark on how to handle debit card transactions. 5: Be prepared to wait in line if you want a beer as the beermen don't frequently walk the aisles like you see in a major league park. 6: There are a handful of enthusiastic fans in the park that for some people are obnoxious with their "Let's Go 51's" chants and their attempts to start the wave. But if you've been to a MLB game, you will welcome their energy and enthusiasm and it will leave you smiling from ear to ear. It's part of the experience and it's good to see it at the Triple A level. Overall I had a blast, even though the Tacoma Rainiers put the game out of reach by the end of the 1st inning with 5 runs on the board. Between innings there were all sorts of on field activities. And the crowd of 9000+ was plenty of fun to be around and made for an exciting atmosphere. This place was VERY KID FRIENDLY too! And the players put on a good performance. At times I felt like I was watching major league ball...but the occasional error like a dropped glove reminded me that some of these players still have some work to do to make it to the big time. And seeing a work in progress that could go on to be a big name someday can be rewarding in it's own right. Things I wished Cashman Field had: A better video board with replays. Better player stats on screen. And better food offerings. I understand Cashman Field's kitchen limitations and they do their best to offer the limited product lineup that they do. But what they lack in selection they make up for in service....the lines at the 3rd Base Grill were long but they moved pretty fast. Overall...if you get the chance to go, and it's not 115 degrees outside the Las Vegas 51's are worthy of your hard earned money and your time to check them out. There are a million different ways to blow the price of a 51's ticket in this city, but few will give you the entertainment value that the 51's will. 5 Stars. I can't wait to go back as I had a blast (I've said this 3 times now...seriously, I loved the experience!!!!) LET'S GO 51's!!!!! (Yelp 100 in 2013 Challenge #27)
