Stadium Concerts Are Back: Inside Garth Brooks’ Huge Show at Las Vegas’ ‘Death Star’
Brooks took great pride in being a post-pandemic trailblazer, embracing the challenge of delivering a pivotal show for both fans and the industry. “To every musician out there, all I can say is get back in the game because it’s the greatest feeling in the world,” Brooks said during the concert, at one point getting on his hands and knees to thank the audience. The 28-song set, which is a continuation of what fans saw on his derailed 2020 tour, had Brooks and the crowd in a perpetual two-hour state of elation. He banged through all his hits and a few monumental covers including Billy Joel’s “Piano Man,” Bonnie Tyler’s “Mom” and George Strait...
Watch ILLENIUM’s Full “Trilogy” Las Vegas Show, The Biggest of His Career
By all accounts, ILLENIUM wrapped the biggest show of his career thus far over the holiday weekend. The beloved electronic music producer provided Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium with a jam-packed night of three sets, which spanned nearly four hours and marked his longest concert by duration and largest by capacity. ILLENIUM described the “Trilogy” experience as a sort of capstone project, sharing that he envisions his first three albums Ashes, Awake, and Ascend almost as though they are collectively a singular chapter of his career. As the release of Fallen Embers—his upcoming fourth album—looms large, ILLENIUM felt this would be the perfect time to bring the comprehensive vision behind his discography together before the start of something new. T...

Cannabis Consumption Lounges Are Coming to Las Vegas
Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak has paved the way for legal cannabis consumption lounges with the passage of AB341. While the state legalized cannabis in 2017, there has previously not been a legal venue for recreational users to consume it publicly. With the new legislation signed, two new licensing classes have been created: one for “retail cannabis consumption lounges” and a second for “independent cannabis consumption lounges.” The creation of new entertainment experiences around cannabis should only fortify Vegas’ reputation as one of the world’s foremost entertainment capitals. The city’s largest dispensary, Planet 13—a gigantic 23,000 square foot super-center with several onsite restaurants—had publicly stated that they are ready to break ground on th...
“Vegas is Back” Proclaims Nightclub Attendee After Posting $8,700 Receipt Online
A couple of frivolous clubbers have violated the cardinal rule of Las Vegas, to their own detriment. Twitter user @Investor_NICK_, a self-described tech investor, quickly learned what it’s like to ball without a budget at Sin City’s iconic Encore Beach Club. Proclaiming that “Vegas is back,” he posted a lengthy receipt from the luxury venue totaling near $8,700 in expense. We’re not sure whether it was the $1,350 bottles of Perrier-Jouet Champagne or the combined $312 of Fiji water that was ordered for the party, but something dawned on him that Wynn, the parent company of Encore, might be making a pretty penny off of his friends who evidently spared no expense during Memorial Day Weekend. Funny enough, another user, David Oro, couldn’t just sit by...

Tyson Fury: I will still fight Anthony Joshua this year
Tyson Fury has insisted that he still intends to fight Anthony Joshua this year despite committing to a trilogy fight against Deontay Wilder in July. Only last weekend, Fury announced that his much-anticipated heavyweight showdown with Joshua would take place in Saudi Arabia in August. Soon afterwards, however, Wilder won an arbitration hearing which ruled that Fury was contractually obliged to fight him for a third time. Fury’s first bout against Wilder came in December 2018 and ended in a controversial draw. In the rematch last year, the self-styled Gypsy King stopped his opponent in round seven to win the WBC heavyweight and Ring magazine titles. A planned trilogy fight was initially postponed by the coronavirus pandemic, before disputes over the rescheduling saw Fury declare that he’d ...
