The Chelsea Ballroom is located on the fourth floor of the Cosmopolitan. I came here to see a little band know as the Black Keys!!! The venue however is excellent even for a makeshift music venue. The acoustics weren't too bad, and for GA, you can get pretty up close and personal to the stage. There were seats as well, but really for a band like Black Keys, you want to do GA and rock out! Not stuck in a chair!!
The bar scene: one large bar in the very back, two smaller bars on the side. Drinks are normal Vegas price. $7 for guinness. $7 for fat tire. $7 for Sierra Nevada. $12 for a shot jäger. Some of the bars take cash only and some take credit cards as well, so make sure you are in the right line!
The band: Big Boi opened up for Black Keys and Black Keys were amazing!!! Such a great live band, I would definitely put them up as my top 5 favorite band to watch live. The drummer played his cymbals with a tambourine and the guitarist played his guitar with maracas!! Amazing!! If you ever get a chance to see them, please do, you won't regret it!
Oh and almost forgot to mention...tickets are purchased thru the cosmopolitan website which means no ticketmaster which means NO FEES!!! So to see the Black Keys just cost me $35 plus $0 fees!! 5 stars just for that!
