Saw my first concert in many many years here last weekend, Muse. Since its been so long since I did the concert scene anywhere, I only have the venues in Los Angeles to compare it to. When I used to go to concerts every week, Universal Amphitheater (now called Gibson Amphitheater I guess?) was always my favorite venue to see shows.
Things I liked about this venue:
parking for free at Mandalay Bay and having so many food / drinking / gambling options before and after the show
getting in and finding our seats was a snap
leaving the parking structure after the show was easier because Mandalay Bay actually hires people to direct traffic so there is no jams in their parking structure
Things I did not like about this venue:
Seating people in the back of the stage so they could not watch the opening band, SilverSun Pickups perform at all.
It took forever to physically leave the venue after the concert because of the traffic caused by people wanting to buy merchandise after the show
