| - Saw Bruno Mars with some friends on 5/23. We had GA tickets. We arrived in line at about 6:30 and the tickets stated the doors opened at 8. The line wasn't long at all, so we were pretty pleased. Yes, it was a long time to sit/stand in line but we made the best of it...sent a few in our group to get drinks from the bar and played some Heads Up on one of our phones with other people in line. The one thing I do want to add is that as the line got longer, some of the girls we were with had to go use the restroom and security did not let them back in line where the rest of us were. They made them go to the end of the line. It wasn't a problem as when the doors opened the girls just came to where we were...but just a heads up. So when the doors opened you have to go through metal detectors, which I wouldn't even call them that as they told me I could leave me cell phone in my pocket and my belt on and when I walked through it didn't beep. Once in, we went straight for the bar. As other yelpers have stated, drink prices are typical Vegas prices, expensive. We then proceeded to the GA floor area. The venue is nice and intimate. We had a good spot, near the front and in the middle. The DJ who opened: a. Wasn't any good at mixing (spotify playlist would have done just fine) and b. had some technical difficulties to the point where they pulled the DJ off the stage. It was a nightmare for the DJ. Once Bruno came on everything was fine. He is a great performer and everyone was dancing the entire time. As others have stated, the floor does bounce when people are dancing and jumping around. Didn't seem to bother me or our group too much. Bruno Mars didn't play some of his good songs from his Unorthodox Jukebox album, such as Gorilla, but he did have a cool set with covers from some oldies such as Poison, This is How we Do It, Your Love. All in all, it was an awesome concert and performance at a nice, small venue. Would definitely come see another artist here again! Thank you Cosmo!
