Live Music entertainment in Las Vegas

    Brendan’s Irish Pub

    Blue-collar Brendan’s hosts a variety of live music, usually on weekend evenings, including traditional Irish tunes and rip-roarin’ Zydeco. It’s nothing fancy, but it does have Irish whiskeys, ales and more. Nearby, more authentic McMullan’s Irish Pub typically has live Celtic bands on Wednesday and Saturday nights, with interactive ‘Acoustic Soul’ on Friday.

    Céline Dion

    No one rules the Colosseum’s stage like this French-Canadian chanteuse, although other divas such as Bette Midler, Cher and Elton John have tried to fill her glamorous shoes. In a brand-new Vegas spectacular, meant to be a tribute to the romance of Old Hollywood, Céline reprises her greatest hits accompanied by a live orchestra.

    Manilow: Music and Passion

    Fanilows, rejoice: the ‘Copacabana’ man is headlining at the Hilton, where Elvis staged his comeback in 1968. Here the platinum-record pop musician takes a spin through decades of American music, from 1940s big bands to chart-topping hits of the ’70s and ’80s, leaving his devoted fans delighted.

    Rox

    Although spots to find live local bands come and go on the Sin City scene, this upstart concert venue in the shadow of the I-15 hosts a variety of local punk and rock showcases, record-release parties, battles of the bands and one-off comedy nights. Touring acts hail from LA and as far away as London.

    The Pearl

    A beacon for rock bands, the Palms’ concert hall has a sophisticated sound system and on-site recording studio. Modern rock acts like Gwen Stefani and Morrissey have burned up the stage, with most seats only 120ft or less away from the stars.

    House of Blues

    Blues is the tip of the hog at this Mississippi Delta juke joint, where kickin’ acts range from living legends to alt-rockers. Seating is limited, so show up early. Sight lines are good, and the tattoo studio is packed with twentysomethings.

    The Joint by Rogue

    Concerts at this intimate venue feel like private shows, even when Coldplay or the Beastie Boys are in town. It’s a beacon for rock ’n’ roll superstars. Most shows here are standing-room only, with reservable VIP balcony seats upstairs.

    A small-scale showroom out on the Boulder Hwy far east of the Strip, the Railhead puts on rockin’ live music shows almost nightly, from country-and-western, Mexican, classic-rock and swing bands to top-tier national touring blues acts.
