Oh yeah, I was at the MGM Grand Garden Arena to see the Holy Triumvirate play a few weeks ago. Although parking was the most awful I have ever experienced in Vegas, the arena itself kicks ass compared to Mandalay Bay. There's really not a bad seat in the house, and as others have said, I would not recommend floor tickets.
As for the band themselves, man there's not much to say except it was incredible. All three of them are some of the most talented musicians I have ever seen. The show was almost four hours, one of the longest concerts I have been to that only showcased one band. But hey, this is Rush, who doesn't feel the need to have an opening band when they have thirty-five years worth of material to play. On top of it, they played the ENTIRE Moving Pictures album, and had some really great videos of Jason Segel and Paul Rudd hilariously fawning over them as their characters in "I Love You Man." It looks like they filmed the video just for Rush's tour.
Anyway, if you get a chance to see an arena concert in town, this venue is the best so far in Las Vegas. I'm only knocking a star off for MGM's inability to get their act together with parking.
