Johnny Cash once said, "I've been everywhere". I feel this way about concert venues. The Delta Center, Staples Center, and even the Honda Center (which up to this point was my favorite).
After last night, I can say that I've been to a spot that is as cool and amazing as the Honda Center in Anaheim.
I went to the James Taylor/Carole King show last night with my Dad. The crowd at the entrance to the arena was a bit much to handle, but it's Vegas...I can overlook this.
We were a few minutes early, so we had time to find our seats and whatnot. Since many of my followers know that I give "extra stars" for perfect bathrooms, this trip was no exception.
The bathrooms are this venue was PERFECT. Clean. Thank God. Usually stadiums, arenas and such have piss-poor (pun intended) bathrooms that smell from the entrance to the building, but MGM, you've done well.
Once you sit down in your seats, you'll realize that there is NO bad seat in this venue.
The air conditioning was solid (114 degrees outside).
Parking is great.
The best part? Getting out of the arena was a breeze. I was at my car within a few minutes.
In summary, this is a fantastic venue, and one of the best places to see a concert. Staff is friendly, the lines for concessions are rather quick and short. Almost like a Utopian world.
KEY: Park valet. Don't park in self parking. If you do, be prepared for a long wait since everyone seems to leave at the same time.
