Now besides the largest trade show event of the year, lest we forget we ARE in Las Vegas where there is truly something for everyone - especially music wise. During the dates of this event, you can enjoy various artists performing during their respective fall residencies such as: Usher, Barry Manilow, John Legend, Lionel Richie, the B-52’s, Katy Perry and as well as the nightly assortment of different artists at the various venues throughout town. What I am mostly excited about personally is the music festival that starts the weekend of the show at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds: When We Were Young. This throwback event features alternative artists from past and present such as: Paramore, A Day To Remember, Avril Lavigne, Bring Me The Horizon and many more. Truth be told, probably going to extend my Vegas visit into the weekend to attend this.

Dare you venture off the strip? I hope so, to take in the sights and sounds of the revamped old town/downtown/Fremont Experience of Las Vegas. Where do we start? Over the years there has been so much rejuvenation into this area with businesses, restaurants, bars, eateries, art installations and attractions. Are you a thrill seeker looking to zipline through the flashing lights like a super hero? Maybe foodie fusions and fine dining is more your style - there is no shortage of options here to satisfy every diet and palette (you too, vegans). Or if you are a sports fan like myself, mosey on over to the Stadium Swim at Circa Casino - these six rooftop pools in an large outdoor amphitheater are open 365 days a year and boast a massive nearly 14-million-pixel screen playing the day’s most exciting games and fights. As well as the world's largest sportsbook if you are into betting.
