| - I have been to a fair share of HOB venues in my teen years, and I have to say that the one in Las Vegas really lives up to reputation for the city that never sleeps! The artwork and design of the venue is amazing, they really went all out for this location. It is slightly smaller than the others I've been to, but that makes for a better show experience- plus, they have a second level for those who were lucky enough to get seat tickets! Haha.
You can tell I'm not of a Pit Girl, but it doesn't get over-crowded at this venue. Unlike the other HOB locations I've been to, the LV location is smart about their capacity limits. I was in the pit the whole time and never felt suffocated or violated (without my discression-h ey it was a Marilyn Manson concert, OK? I've been into the guy since I was a pre-teen!) Anyway, crowd control was amazing, the show was amazing, and the bar was- eh.
The bar. I paid $14 for a sprite. It was supposed to be a midori sour cocktail, but it just tasted like sprite, and for a person who DOESN'T drink very often didn't even affect me whatsoever. Weak drinks. Pre-game in your hotel room before hand. Your little sister can probably mix better drinks!
I would definitely see another show here, it's so convenient, comfortable and relatively on schedule. The only thing I HATED? This was the only venue I've EVER been to that did not allow a closed bottle of water- and I have a hydration issue!!!
