I loved this place. I was in Vegas a few weeks ago and the day before I saw in one of the magazines Deftones would be in town for a show. I thought fuck yeah I have not seen them since like 97 or 98, Gotta check this. I knew it would be so worth it to go here. This was one of the best shows I have ever been to, and it was cheaper than if I would've gone to this tour in NJ or NY for that matter. I got my ticket one hour before showtime at the box office and with the ticket master fee it was $37.00. I know for a fact in NY this would've been at 50 bucksor at least $70.00 to get in.
The venue was really nice- not huge but a nice size. I got there really early so I guided myself by the front. The playlist Deftones chose was excellent too. Back to School is one of my favorite songs, and of course Minerva. I was surprised the didn't play Whole in the Earth though, but its ok... La Butcherette, Dillinger Escape Plan were the opening acts.
Chino did a great job live, the crowd was really into it. There were some hotties in the crowd too so that was cool. I got up close and personal with some cute nerdy latina. She was a local vegas chick there. The Pit was kinda to my right and at least I didn't have to duck punches or anything but yeah the crowd did get tossed to the left and right sometimes. I would come back to this venue in the future. I didn't get any drinks at the bar so I am not sure about the prices and all that. I wasn't in the mood for overpaying for beer.
