I've been to 3 shows here since moving to Las Vegas in August. Falling in Reverse in January, Social Distortion in March, and Billy Currington in April. This venue was perfect for each of them because it's big enough that a lot of people can fit and really enjoy the music but small enough that there's not a bad view anywhere and you can really vibe with the artist. General admission standing room tickets are usually cheapest and for us they're usually just fine. You don't really have to arrive that early (no more than an hour) to get a great spot. For Falling in Reverse, we arrived at the same time the doors opened and stood in about the third row. For Social Distortion, we arrived about an hour and a half early and stood in the very front.
Security here is usually awesome and is able to stop any fights before the get out of hand. The only problem that I have is that when the doors are supposed to open, people start going through the security line (pretty basic metal detector wave and quick purse check) only to stand in what appears to be another line for the actual doors to open. This wouldn't at all be a problem except there's a large area but everyone stands in a single, respectful line. Every time, security comes through and asks everyone to fill in the rest of the space. This causes people from the back of the line to be able to move up in front of the people already waiting and someone always gets mad and picks a fight. It doesn't make much sense considering everyone has to file through a relatively small entry way. Just be prepared for this and move up as much as you can!
On most occasions, we grab dinner at the restaurant after and it's always a fun, upbeat experience. I'm not sure the exact schedule but I believe they have live music Friday and Saturday nights at least.
