When planning a trip to Vegas, choosing your dates can often be difficult (unless of course you are coming for business). One thing you can count on is that there will always be great parties at the premier Vegas clubs. Las Vegas nightlife is hotter than ever before so on any given weekend you are sure to see a few big name DJ’s and performers. One often overlooked area when planning a Vegas vacation is concert schedules.
While Vegas may be more well known these days for its production shows like Cirque Du Soleil, it has been the home to acts like Elvis, the Rat Pack, Liberace, Celine Dion, Cher and many more in the past. This year, several new acts arrive on the Vegas scene as regulars including Boyz II Men, Def Leppard and CeeLo Green. They join Carlos Santana, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Shania Twain, Elton John and Rod Stewart as headlining Vegas acts that will appear on a regular basis throughout the year.
