| - Caught a lot of concerts here while Steel Panther was doing their Saturday-Midnight residency, and enjoyed them. We'd usually get there early and camp out on the rocks next to the gift shop entrance so as to have place to sit and wait instead of standing in the line (which would sometimes go all the way to the tattoo shop), because we'd have to stand once we got inside, as well.
The concert venue is nice, though the beer is expensive... though beer is always expensive in Vegas, and at concert venues, so I suppose that comes with the territory. The bands we saw play always sounded great, and the security personnel were professional and friendly. They weren't there to hassle you, just there to make sure everyone started out and remained okay during their time there.
I wore a kilt to several of the concerts and did get a few odd looks from the people running the metal-detector lines, but I'm used to it so that's not a big detractor.
Overall, I'd gladly see more concerts here, though Santana has a capacity to run long from time to time so if he's nearing the end of a stint or going on tour in the near future (and thus abdicating his spot for a few weeks), be ready to wait longer in line as they get everyone out and the place cleaned up for the next act. Or, if you're there to see Santana, be prepared to order an extra drink when he runs long. It's all good.
