Downtown Las Vegas Events Center

Conveniently located a short walk from Fremont St. Easy entry and security check. Decent sized venue with lots of vendor choices and multiple bars. Several clean bathrooms but unfortunately NO water stations. They charge $5 for a 12oz bottled tap water. Which should be a crime unless you offer water stations for people to refill. Venue rules posted on their website are vague and unclear. You ARE allowed to bring small backpacks 14" x 14" INCLUDING camelbacks and hydration backpacks. The venue is outside but they do provide a heated tent in the back for merchandise and several large tables including folding chairs. It was a little cold and windy that night so it was nice to be able to take cover in the tent and also to have a place to sit down and relax. The venue is covered in turf which was a lot easier on the feet and legs compared to asphalt or concrete this is also a nice feature. It was easy to exit the venue once the show was over. Security was present but not heavy and the event staff was helpful and polite.

Had a great time! Easy to access from hotels on Fremont street. Drinks are super expensive but that's expected at things like this. Really good layout. I do wish there was more shaded areas. Everyone was packed under the tents to stay out of the hot Vegas sun.

Great venue right at the heart of downtown Las Vegas across from The D Hotel. The main stage was removed enough from the smaller stage to give it a larger festival feel. Though I'm a local, this was the first time I had been here but looking forward to more shows. Reggae Rise Up 2021 was an amazing time!

This is a great venue with the fun party all day/night Vegas vibe. The bar will make you whatever you want and the cups are HUGE... We got food from the bbq place in the VIP area that was 🔥 but there was tons of delicious looking drinks & food over with all the vendors by stage 2. We went to Saturday of Reggae Rise Up and it was sick!!!!!

This rating is specifically for the set up during Reggae Rise Up Vegas. I was expecting a hot mess but was impressed by the use of space and coordinated efforts to keep the crowds flowing. Excellent job. Also, the outside of this venue is deceiving, I thought the stage would be smaller but, wow! This was a LEGITIMATELY LARGE STAGE. Definitely a worthy of great acts. Also, I only had to use the men's restroom 1 time because the lines for ladies were way to long, the rest of the time, lines were manageable. Quick note: men sure know how to bomb a restroom.

Here for reggae rise up. VIP seems no different than the GA. Seems just as packed and busy. Had a great time still.

Went for Beerfest. Excellent location and well laid out. Close to Fremont Street for post Fest fun as well.

What a great venue! Smack in the middle of downtown, 1 block from Fremont St. Eat before you go. Do NOT believe the propaganda about no water, backpacks, masks, etc! Lots of people brought their own and were allowed in!

The tarp was a plus for the 104 degree heat. Bathrooms were very clean and had AC. Merch and beer was set up adequately No long lines. Sound was great for being outdoors. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parked on street close to venue entrance paid $9.50 for four hours. Didn't figure out how to use parkingwhiz app on Las Vegas center app in time I was to late and venue parking was gone. Next time I will reserve parking on app sooner. There were bleachers at the back and some tables and chairs around bar area. VIP was good no fuss entering had some chair And a few tall tables for standing/drinking. Would have giving 5 stars but Merch for RATT was cash only and VixenMerch took card. When Las Vegas event center site stated cashless. Ca$h is King Would definitely be back for more

Downtown event center is my favorites venue for raves!!! Super spacious and lots of dance room. Whether it is at the main stage or the back tent. The bar lines do tend to get long here but the bar staff does an amazing job at attending everyone as quickly as possible. The drinks are pricey here about $30 but consider these are 32 oz drinks with 80% alcohol 20% mixer. 2 drinks and your set for the night! The bathrooms here are in trailers with air conditioning and there is always a bathroom attendant. I went last night for noizu and the vibes were immaculate

I went to Rise Up Reggae here's it was my first time at the events center. It was a great venue! It's was clean, the bartenders and concessions were great! And of corse the music was amazing! You could see the stage where ever you were at!

Recently, I went to the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center to see the Shamrock Rebellion, a punk rock music festival on St. Patrick's Day featuring Flogging Molly. Oddly enough, the only other time that I have been there was about five years ago, also to see Flogging Molly. Anyway, this event was different than the other I had been to, as this was an all-day music festival with about 8 bands, whereas the other show was an evening double headliner. We arrived early in the day to catch the third band of the festival. We had VIP, but there was no line, regardless of ticket type. There were metal detectors, but security was quick. The space is a very large outdoor space. There is a large tent in back to provide relief from the sun. Bars line the venue, and there is a large bar near the tent, meaning, there really is never a bar line. There was an area away from the stage with vendors and food trucks. Food truck lines were terrible. Because the event space is large, there was never any need to feel crowded in unless you wanted to be really close. For the most part, acoustics were good, except when some of the mics didn't work during the set of one of the bands. I'm not sure if I would necessarily get VIP tickets again. We had a nice viewing area from up above in the VIP section, but seating up there was limited, and I prefer to be dancing in the crowd rather than so far away. I will say, the VIP had the cleanest restroom I had ever seen at a music festival, and the shortest lines. The restroom attendant was on it the entire day. All in all, this is a great place to go for an outdoor show and I would definitely return.

Awesome venue! It may be small but a lot of great artists perform here - Rufus Du Sol being one of them. That concert was lit! They also host cool events like the Beer Festival, which gives you access to unlimited beer tastings! Feels more low key and definitely less crazy than the strip, which is nice.

Best place for multiple day music festivals. Great access to shade and having food truck options on site is a plus. Hope PRB continues to use this space in the future.

This venue is perfect for outdoor concerts and festivals. It has adequate size, amenities, and shade. The artificial turf gives you the feeling of being on grass, without the imperfections. It is conveniently located next to the Fremont Street Experience.

First ever MARGARITAWORLD LAS VEGAS on 4/20/24 was a major flop. I scoured the internet for reviews prior to going, so this is for next year if they happen to re-do this disastrous event. -Margaritas: $36 each, watered down & full of ice, NOT unique or tasty. It would have been better to have multiple small tasters which are of good quality. -Parking: convenient, available in parking garages. Check out ParkWhiz to plan ahead, we paid $5 -Food trucks: only 2, for an event starting at 5pm, we were hoping to eat there. We ended up leaving after the Dave Matthews Tribute band played for like 3 hours to eat elsewhere. -Seating: low in quantity, abysmal bleachers that trapped you in once you sat down -Website: Provided no info that you can also bring in towels to sit on the turf grass Other events attended here which were fun: Seven Lions, Subtronics. Bathrooms are usually air conditioned trailers. WATER is not, but SHOULD BE FREE!

Clean bathrooms, this venue is so much fun for events like lost in dreams, excision, malaa, I love how everything isn't crowded and it's an open area so I can actually breathe. It's my fave festival venue in Vegas next to the Las Vegas speedway.

The Downtown Las Vegas Events Center is an open-air full city block venue without buildings, dedicated to music and watch parties. There is limited seating on the fringes near the stage, but you can also stand or sit on the ground, which is thin artificial turf on concrete. NFL team owner Jim Irsay, also a musician and memorabilia collector, recently put on a free concert there and assembled an all star lineup which included outstanding blues guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd, who played alongside the other stars all day. Ultra-cool Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top did 'Sharp Dressed Man' and 'LaGrange' while REO Speedwagon's Kevin Cronin played 'Take It On the Run', 'Keep On Loving You' and 'Keep Pushin'. Vince Gill and R.E.M.'s Mike Mills played their music too and the entire day had mostly an 80's vibe aside from Steven Stills, who did Buffalo Springfield songs and his own 'Love the One You're With'. That set hit home because nearly a half century has elapsed since a group of us saw Stills perform a memorable 1974 concert at Jersey City's Roosevelt Stadium. Memorable because during a break between songs that rainy night, CSN&Y broke the news announcing that President Nixon had just resigned, after which a huge roar erupted from about 20,000. This three hour Las Vegas concert was originally scheduled for the evening, but then moved up to noon to avoid anticipated high winds, which were already building steam. Coincidental, but it seemed fitting to begin the show with Skynyrd's 'They Call Me the Breeze' while ending hours later with the Stone's 'Gimme Shelter' (btw, props to the backup singers who nailed Merry Clayton's voice from the original '69 version). This collection of rock royalty has not lost a step over the years and especially impressive was Cronin's voice at that age, still hitting the high notes on his Speedwagon songs. Also inside a large tent on the grounds was a massive collection of odds and ends like James Brown's red cape, Muhammad Ali's title belt, Ringo Starr's drum set, and John Lennon's Sgt. Pepper piano. A big thank you to Jim Irsay for providing this tour down memory lane free to the public, as well as Derek Stevens, for purchasing the land downtown and refusing to 'pave paradise and put up a parking lot'.

Purchased VIP for Holo Holo Festival which gave access to the side where the shade creeps earlier during the day. Crowd was less on the VIP side which means more room to spread out on the turf. There were a few round tables under a shaded area to the right side when facing the stage as well as a small section with stadium seating. Need to line up very early for these spots otherwise had a lot of space on the turf. Stadium seating good only at the bottom or aisle otherwise difficult getting in and out of the seats. Sitting on the turf was the best choice for us. We didn't have a blanket to sit on but didn't want to stand up all 8 hours so we did sit on the turf which was clean and like sitting on grass without lumps. Staff was very good at making rounds to collect trash and sweep. There were staff making rounds I guess just ensuring everyone was having a fun but safe time. Now the women's restroom staff was just amazing. Cleanest and well stocked restroom down to ensuring the sink counters remained dry. Great clean venue for outdoor events.

This is a great small, outdoor venue located literally in the streets of Downtown Vegas, across the street from the Golden Nugget and just on the other side of Fremont St. The stage is large, sound is great, the grounds are clean and I think we were on fake grass if I remember correctly. There's a large bar in the center and multiple bars along the back as well as clean mobile bathroom stalls. I'm not sure if this has to do with the show or the venue but we came to see Deadmau5 and entrance was super quick and painless. You can even stand outside and hear everything from the venue which was pretty cool so we came back the next night to listen from the outside for a little bit!

An awesome venue aside from one huge con, they don't provide water. I went to a few raves here in the past year and love it overall. It's in the middle of downtown but parking has not been a problem. The lines go super fast and security are friendly and responsive. The best bathrooms I've ever experienced at a rave. Fast lines, super clean, always stocked with toilet paper, air conditioned, flushing toilets, sinks, and soap!! There's an attendant at every bathroom keeping things organized and flowing. Incredible efficiency and execution. The sound system and visuals are outstanding. I saw Excision here twice and wow, he throws down. It's a large space with plenty of room to sit and relax and the fake grass is comfortable to walk/sit on. So. What's the problem? Water costs $5 for a tiny bottle. At a rave in the middle of the summer in Vegas with temperatures soaring well into the 100s, people get dehydrated fast, especially those who are drinking alcohol or doing recreational drugs, which is common at raves/concerts. To charge that much for water (it was $4 last year) is just putting themselves in a vulnerable position for a lawsuit. There are a lot of personal injury attorneys in Las Vegas and all it will take is one person who gets injured from dehydration-related cause for there to be a lawsuit. The venue should reasonably foresee injury to guests under the circumstances. Why do you think amusement parks and festivals provide free water? For the joy of giving? No. To prevent lawsuits. This venue is opening themselves up to dole out some large settlements and legal fees in the future. So whatever the ticket costs, budget about $5/hour to buy water here, so if you're here for a 6 hour concert, expect to spend $30 on bottled water. Not only that, all that bottled water creates so much extra waste and trash strewn all about the venue, harming the environment, and creating tripping hazards for guests. It's the one down side but it's a big one that hopefully will get resolved one way or another.

I went to see Culture Club, B-52s, and Tom Bailey of the Thompson Twins at the DTLVEC. I got to the venue about 15 minutes before starting expecting it would start late. What I found was a line from the entrance that snaked west from 3rd Street to Casino Center Drive and then south to Bridger where the queue ended. The line moved fairly quick and the crowd was in a good mood. With starting time at 91 degrees, I was very pleasant downtown. Once at the entrance, there was another queue inside that ran along Carson Street back and forth in 5 switchbacks and somewhat forced the people into a single file. At the end of this set of switchbacks, you went through security and then had your ticket scanned. I didn't see anyone initially who could direct me to my seat in Section 202. I did see some signs and realized I needed to go on the other side. As I was nearing my section, an usher appeared and helped me locate the exact seat. The venue was an old building that was for sale and Derek Stevens, owner of the D and other properties downtown, bought it at a relatively cheap price and made this event center. It has artificial turf and the seating for most are folding chairs placed close to each other. The acoustics are good. If you want a better view, perhaps paying for VIP seats would be best. For me, this was most likely a one and done. I went more out of curiosity. I didn't even know who Tom Bailey was. I Googled him at the event. The other two groups were OK but simply not my cup of tea except for a few songs. I cannot attest to the charges for drinks as I didn't buy any.

Good venue, I'd go here anytime to see a concert. They have a good variety of food and drink, but expect to pay concert prices. This is an outdoor venue but the sound is pretty good. I was able to push my way up to the front of the stage. Depending on your state of mind you can chill in the back or position yourself up front like I did. They also have VIP seating which lines the sides of the venue, it's not as close to the stage but it is covered. I also found some misters which helped cool me down. Do yourself a favor and explore Fremont Street before you show, you can also get some food and drink beforehand if you like. I had no problem getting an Uber home after the concert.

Honestly place is whatever depending on the weather .. something I didn't like which I don't even know is legal. I asked for a cup of water my friend was overheating and dehydrated and my wallet was in my friends backpack were we store our stuff and the dude said I can't give you a cup of water legally but you can buy a water bottle for 5$ . Wtf. That's crazy. I asked 3 people for a damn cup of water and was denied my friend was overheating and I literally just wanted to get him a cup of water. Luckily some nice guy paid 5 dollars.

I imagine I would be rating this differently had I attended during a blistering hot Las Vegas summer. Fortunately for me and my concert buddy, Las Rageous was in April this year! Located in Downtown Las Vegas, right behind the fabulously classy Fremont Street Hotel & Casino known as The D (The owner of which also put a lot of money into this music festival. Go figure. Thanks, bro.), the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center is an outdoor venue that offers live music, grub vendors, merch tents, stiff drinks, and plenty of parking. Seriously, don't worry about parking. Take your pick. I highly recommend staying on Fremont Street if you're coming here for a show. Our parking was free with our two night stay at the Downtown Grand. Please be aware that Fremont Street is loud af though, and all the hotels down here have earplugs in the bedstands for a reason. Fremont Street doesn't go to bed until 2:30 am, and then cops, speeders, stumbling drunken hordes, and ambulances come out to serenade you to sleep. Las Rageous was a blast! Over the weekend we got to see loads of bands across the rock and metal genres, and most of the sets were great! A7X was a little disappointing, but as we were more excited about Godsmack and Breaking Benjamin, and both put on phenomenal shows, we considered this festival money well spent. Getting to check out Coheed and Cambria, Eagles of Death Metal, Mastodon, and All That Remains for the first time was absolutely the best. I may not look like a headbanger, but I am. Every once in awhile I like to let my hair down. Las Rageous weekend was exhausting in the best possible way. I appreciated the presence of 32 ounce mixed drinks at $13 a pop. That was like 4 drinks in one. Fremont Street might be the only place in Las Vegas where you can buy things for a decent value. I had one each night and was sated. I will say that I think it is utter BS that water bottles are not allowed in. Dehydration happens fast when you're feeding your metal loving demons. I digress, this was a very good time and I would see a concert here again!

I've attended a few concerts at the DLVEC, and it's always an awesome experience. They have great big drinks at reasonable prices compared to other venues that charge so much for drinks. They also have really nice bathrooms (not portable ones). The sound was excellent and the staff was friendly. Awesome outdoor venue in the middle of downtown Las Vegas!

Came for the last and final Warped Tour run ever on June 29. There were 55 bands performing on 6 stages and countless merch tents, so Bridger Road in between 3rd and 4th Street was shut down during. Getting there was easy. We parked in the Neonopolis parking garage and walked over right when doors opened at 11 am. If it weren't a thousand degrees outside, I would've stayed the entire event. Otherwise, going to the last Warped Tour was definitely worth it. I would also come back to the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center for other concerts and maybe a Golden Knights viewing party.

Awesome awesome awesome!! This events center hosts Vegas Golden Knight watch parties for us fans. They're free to get into!! Who doesn't love that?! Plus being alongside hundreds of other screaming die hard Knights fans. The doors opened at 3:30 with the game starting at 5:00pm. There were a couple hundred tables set up with ten chairs each. We were the first in our party to arrive. We saved the table and baked in the heat while waiting for our friends to show. The atmosphere is amazing, I like how they had everything set up along the sides for food and drinks. We eventually purchased two drinks and that's where we were shocked. It was $32.00 for one beer and one jack and coke. The cups were large granted but wowwww was that expensive. We still purchased more later though. I managed to find the $8.00 beers and our friends purchased a bucket of those beers for $40.00. There were 5 beers in the bucket. All in all we had a rest time and the events center is pretty legit!

Every time I come here, the configuration is new. I LOVE IT! This time, I guess I had VIP tickets, but the ticket-takers(?) Did not give us anything to designate a difference in seating, but it turned into a blessing. Instead of sitting on the sofas, we grabbed our over-poured drinks and sat at the very front table. No one was in front of us and we had an amazing experience. Whoever came up with the idea of this "Movable Feast" event configuration is a genius.

I went to the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center back in 2019. The staff had a well organized system to get in and out of the venue,which was nice. The venue is outdoor with lots of room to roam. The trailer restrooms were clean and well kept.Food and beverage stations are all around the perimeter of the venue with plenty of options. I suggest tailgating at Freemont street for the cheap drink prices before you head in the Event Center.Overall a good experience .

AKA the 2nd Fortress.... We came here to watch the Knights beat the Jets in game 1 of the West Finals! This is a great venue located in downtown Vegas amongst all the casinos. They offer plenty of parking and have a lot of seating with tables, cabanas or you can bring your own chair. We had a great time here with plenty of concessions, gifts shops and restrooms. Met Derek Stevens too...

Where all the hawaiians stay cause it's the 9th island.. and it's cheap! Where all the drunkies hang out at night.... Where all the crazies are.... Where you can walk around in your bdsm leather bikini and no one gonna judge you... Ok, ok, i'll stop.... for those who visit vegas often will understand if you haven't been to vegas or downtown vegas well you are in for a joy ride. This area is the block party central where it's cheap and you have the main hotels all in walking distance from each other... eat, drink, gamble, heck strip if you want... you'll see anything here but remember "what happens in vegas, stays in vegas" *wink wink unless your friends caught it on camera and posted it to social media than you're done for. hahah kidding, not really. I usually avoid downtown but when you want to gamble late night and you're lowballing, this is the place. Downtown vegas is known for the wide screen up top where they have cool stuff display. If you feel adventurous, you can do the high seat gliding (i forgot the real name)... There's also live bands.... deep fried twinkies, deep fried oreos... deep fried i repeat deep fried!! Ok ok.... this is a must come if you're first time visiting vegas. As for me, not my kinda scene.. I'm not a big fan of crowds and it's kinda dirty.

Very nice. I'm impressed with the place. Drinks are huge very cool that they offer a cool down area with some big ass swamp coolers.. the restrooms are clean and the best part is when you go to take a piss, the urinals are waterless and a spot on either the right or left to set your cocktails down prior to handling that little snake of yours.. Very enjoyable experience!!

I wish that I could review the Capital Cities concert itself. That was quite something. But I'm going to have to review the venue instead. This event was the first concert of the new Downtown Las Vegas Events Center. Owner Derek Stevens went on stage (twice) to tell the crowd about how he bought an old courthouse, had it torn down, and got the place up and running in about a year's time. The DLV Events Center (that seems to be the official abbreviation) is an entirely outdoor venue that takes up the entire city block bounded by Casino Center Blvd,, Bridger, 3rd St, and Carson (the latter two streets being the intersection of the entrance gate). As such, you can definitely hear and even see concerts from the sidewalk outside the fence. The DLV Events Center is basically a fenced-in parking lot with tents for concessions and a stage, so it's not surprising how quickly it was built. However, that description is definitely a bit of an understatement. They also have an elevated VIP area with seating to the right of the stage, as well as raised circular tables in the back of the general admission area for people to stand around. Creative concertgoers actually lifted and relocated the tables as they pleased tonight, but this probably won't happen at more crowded events. The highlight really is the stage. It doesn't lack for colorful rotating lights, swirling smoke, But the first and most prominent thing that you'll see is the extremely bright screen, perhaps 25 feet diagonally, definitely visible to passers-by, and a very difficult thing to shoot photos of (hint: adjust your camera's metering). You'll see the screen displaying various camera angles of the onstage acts, gratuitous panning shots of the audience members near the stage, the venue's logo during downtime, or even just a band's logo before they come on stage and after rain threatens to ruin the video cameras. Oh yes, it rained during the first night. It rained pretty strongly toward the end of the concert. And it seemed that the stage crew was either prepared to handle it or was able to improvise. They had stuff to cover the band's equipment and towels to help soak up water on the stage. They shut down all the cameras for safety purposes. The sound system didn't fail though. Actually, considering that this was the first concert, I thought that they did a great job. The sound seemed quite clear and balanced, and the volume wasn't deafeningly loud. Crowd, by the way, is a relative term. I'm sure there were hundreds of music fans there, but there's reportedly a 15,000 person capacity. I don't disbelieve that figure seeing how much space there was. Event employees actually walked around to tell general admission wristband wearers that, for the headlining band, they were welcome to walk into the very front area, which would normally be reserved for VIPs (and those VIPs already had the best front and center spots anyway, I'm sure). Definite highlight of the night. One more pleasant surprise came at the end after Capital Cities had finally said good night. As people turned to leave, all of a sudden, perimeter lights and pole lights were flipped on. It was a great convenience for sure, but it will be even more helpful when larger crowds arrive, along with their trash and debris. Overall, I like this place. I think it's a great addition to Downtown Las Vegas. I'll be happy to come back and trust that they'll put on an equally good production the next time. I only worry somewhat about how bad parking might get for the really huge events, but time will surely tell.

$21 for a cup of Gingerale. Yes, you read that correct. Ice and two cans of regular gingerale. No alcohol. I was going to have a few beers, but refused after that. Went out for Offspring and 311. Great show for $30. The line to get in was miserable and guys were scrambling to put up more turn styles since people were clogged up on the sidewalks outside and many were caught in the crosswalks with nowhere to go. So overall, the show was great. Tickets reasonable. But get there early and don't pay the ridiculous food and drink prices.

Racks on racks on racks! Great venue space with tons of potential. Came here for the Capital Cities show and was blown away with how much space is actually here. Great sound from the stage and ample bars to wet your music loving whistle. The bartenders are a little slow and the drinks are a little pricey, but these things can be remedied, I mean they just opened (it hasn't even been a month). If there's a show happening here and you're semi-interested swing by, if you're not impressed, Downtown LV is a hop skip and jump away.

This is a fantastic venue for outdoor concert events. I attended the Lost 80's live event here on Sep 8 which featured some of my favorite new wave acts of the 80's. My friend Robert and I got front row tickets to the concert and had a great time. The staff was pretty good about keeping the front area clear of riff-raffs that try to sneak into the front of the stage. Some of the new wave and electronic synthpop acts were great! Terri Nunn of Berlin and Book of Love were pretty impressive, and their sound system sounded fantastic! The only criticisms I have are the plodding security line and the technical malfunctions that the other performers experienced. We missed a couple of performances by Information Society because of the slow security line, and When In Rome suffered a sound system failure. Drinks were expensive though, but that's too be expected in concert venues. That's how they make their money since our front row tickets were so cheap! The only thing I wish I had done was to purchase a meet & greet pass. Pretty bummed I didn't get my selfie with Terri Nunn of Berlin, Dale Bozzio of Missing Persons and Ted and Susan Ottaviano of Book of Love! They are iconic like Blondie! Oh well, there will always next year. #Lost80sLive Long live the 80's!

4 hours in a 104 degree heat sucks! Came to see 311 and The Offspring. $30 for a show was a great deal, now I know that's because you're going to spend all your cash on buying water ALL NIGHT! $6 for a bottle of water, $2 for a cup of ice! This is the only venue I've been to that doesn't let you pour your drinks into a plastic cup. All the other venues let you bring your drinks in as long as you pour into a cup....not this place! This is the first time I left a show early in Vegas. Never going back! The only nice thing is the swamp coolers by the merch stand and semi cooled off bathrooms. As for the bands they put on a great show...but I wish they would've played at the beach at Mandalay Bay that place is the best!

No accommodations for ADA not in wheelchairs!!! BYOW - BRING YOUR OWN WHEELCHAIR.. . Unbelievable!!! Downtown Las Vegas Events Center

The Downtown Events Center is located on the corner of 3rd and Carson. It's just a block off Fremont and easy to find. The 'venue' is outdoor. The majority of the tickets are general admission so you can be as close or far away as you please. I looked up to see a VIP section with separate cabanas and bar area. This section sets up a level from the GA. If you want to be close to the stage then skip VIP. The concessions are limited. There are only a few select drinks to order with only one food concession which was American Coney Island. I'm sure they are fine but I wish there were more options. There were many people outside of the fenced venue area just watching the show. That would be an easy way to see for free. Just an ok venue but could use some improvements.

From 11/21/15 We came to DLVEC for Killswitch and Rise Against! I am surprised by the size of this place; it's huge there is plenty of room to dance, and see all angles of the stage. The drinks were good, you can get a huge cup for $15 which is like three drinks worth- very satisfying. I am looking forward to more concerts at DLVEC in the future- it's an awesome venue.

I came here for the 1st time to watch the VGK vs. Sharks hockey playoff game. It is a great venue with a large screen. The food that we had was really good too. Also very clean and awesome bathrooms. My only complaint, and which us why I only gave 4 stars is that it was a $50 BEVERAGE minimum if you wanted a seat. I was quite surprised. I thought it was for food & beverage. Everyone agrees with me that it promotes drunk driving. If you have someone who is a designated driver, there's no way that person can get their moneys worth. And even if you are drinking, $50 was hard to do and we ended up drinking more than we would like. Also wine would be nice to add to their bar.

Been waiting for the right band to play here so I can check out this venue. Sublime w Rome was in town and that was the one I was waiting for. The line to get in was a few block longs but moved relatively fast. They did have several barriers set up and made you go through like cattle in a maze, a bit too much to get to the gate but something I can deal with. A big open outdoor event center with beverage areas and different food options. Drinks were reasonably priced and the didn't skimp on the alcohol. they served beer in cans but you had to pour into a cup before entering the area close to the stage, not sure why the didn't do it at the bar but no biggie. Sound was great and it was easy getting out afterwards. Definitely one of the better venues for a concert .

A much needed addition to Fremont Street area. It's really great to see more and more options for live music and entertainment cropping up around downtown Las Vegas. Despite being open for over a year, the Events Center still has a few kinks to work out. While I had the opportunity to be in the VIP area for The Fray and Train concerts on the weekend of November 6 and 7, I tried out the seats in GA and they were crammed together, uncomfortable and very small. Surprised the VIP area didn't have heaters considering it was about 48 degrees outside and windy. Brrr. The drinks are on the high side $10-20 but what do you expect, you're at a concert in Vegas. Also, they need more options than just snack food and hot dog stands. How about some tasty food trucks. Now that's an idea! Anyways, looking forward to checking out more concerts at this newer venue.

Lets be clear - I would never come here during peak summer weather but the last weekend in September was prefect. It was my first trip here and overall I think it was pretty good. Prices for tickets were cheap but parking ($20, but I parked in the BOA parking garage by accident - don't do that - the city garage is less than $10) and drinks (2 for $38) were not. The sound was good, the bathrooms are the trailer type so there were plenty of them and they were pretty clean, and the seats aren't too bad. The staff kept the seating area nice and clean - women walked around with garbage bags and collected trash throughout the show so everything stayed clean. They have astro turf put down so I took my flipflops off and just enjoyed myself. All in all not a bad venue during nice weather. I would go back.

I love attending shows here. Every time I go it gets better and better. There's plenty of room for everyone to get a good view of the show, and you can get a huge drink for a reasonable price. This time they had laid AstroTurf down which made standing in the pit much more comfortable, and put open stadium seating in the back for when we got tired. Ticket prices are always good, even for some bigger names, and the manager of the D always comes out to thank everyone for attending. They're doing a great job with this venue, and I can't wait to come back.

Got some free tickets for a Mexican band El Recodo, had a great experience music was great and well staffed too people cleaning before the concert was over, bars and mobil bars very convenient reasonable prices thank you miller light for this wonderful events. Very spacious and great for any other event in Vegas :))

We came to Vegas for the Las Rageous festival at the Downtown Las Vegas events center. It was such a great venue! The sound was great, we could see wherever we went inside the venue with the screens they had placed. The only downfall was the price of the drinks.

Great open space! A bit hot at night but you acclimate sort of quickly. The bathrooms were port-a-potties but they were cleaned and air conditioned which was a huge relief! It's also sweet that Fremont street is just a short walk away!

Came here for the Art of Rap concert which featured Naughty By Nature, EPMD, Mobb Deep, Public Enemy, Sugarhill Gang, Kurtis Blow, Melle Mel and Scorpio. First of all parking is almost impossible to find that is relatively nearby. If you are lucky enough, you can find parking on the street but you have to pay at the meters. After parking over at Binions, getting validated, and then walking over to the venue, I noticed there were already parking tickets on a bunch of people's cars. As I was walking up towards the will call booth to pick up my tix, the smell of weed was in the air. Yup, this was definitely a rap concert. Weed is still illegal in Nevada yet people were smoking joints and I didn't see any cops arresting anybody. Speaking of which they were all mainly at the entrance making sure nobody was packin any kind of weaponry. Now for the venue. When I first reserved my tix online it said Las Vegas Evens Center. I was like, cool, never been to that place! Then I find out that its an outdoor venue. All the better for the smokers I guess. Anyways this took place on Saturday July 24th starting at 7 pm. The temp at the time was 115. Yes, I said 115. Even when the sun dipped behind the buildings the temp only went down to 110. Good thing I brought my jacket. So there we were me and my wife standing in the general admission area. For a nice chunk of change you can go to the VIP section closer to the stage. I thought the view there wasn't any better. After about half an hour with just the DJ playing old school rap music, me and the wifey decided to split because we were soaked with sweat and wanted to go before passing out from dehydration. They did have some stands there that sold beer and bottled water. I really wanted to get some water but they were charging 5 bucks just for 1 bottle! So we just took off and went home. So disappointed. Besides the above mentioned, I would say that about half the people there definitely did not take a shower before going there. If we were gonna pass out it was either from dehydration or the sheer rancid smell of body odor. Secondly, there were different spots around the edges of the fence that you can actually see the stage. So basically you can watch for free. Fail. Lastly, just the fact that you will be standing for 4 hours in triple digit temps is not a good idea. Didn't matter if it was already shaded. We are still talking about 110 degrees! In closing, if I just happen to find another concert that is scheduled to perform here, it will have to be any other time but the middle of summer just for me to consider coming here. The overall organization of the place is just one total disaster. Yelp 2016 Review #31 604 overall

Love the venue itself! It's spacious and nicely set up. What killed me was the beer and water cost. Saw Sublime here last night, The beer outside of the main stage was $8 but is cash only and in cans, If you go inside of the main stage, while the beer ratio to the cup was more than one of those cans outside, it still was $14. A bottle of water was $4. I still really like this venue and I think it would be amazing if they did the free summer concert series there since then you don't have the rowdiness of Fremont St and the people who are at Fremont for food and gambling don't have to deal with the blockage. But, and there always is a but, First Friday is kinda the same thing (Minus the awesome show) and their beer is half the cost, which is nice. Also, the bathrooms and fucking the bomb.com. I wish all music festivals would use these bathrooms.

I don't know who's idea it was to have an outdoor concert venue in the desert when it's over 100 degrees out 90% of the summer, but it's definitely not ideal. Once you can get past the dripping sweat for the majority of the time the set up itself isn't too bad. It's located right behind the D hotel and is easy walking distance from pretty much any casino self parking garage. The stage itself is pretty small and up close which means every seat is a good seat. I also am not a fan of porta potties so I was over the moon to find out they had actual toilets that flush and everything. I'm not sure I'd come back here for any other bands unless it's an incredible deal and someone I really wanted to see. It's just not worth dealing with the heat.

This venue was not bad. I imagine it could get way hot on certain nights, which is the reality of Vegas, but the night we were there it was good. Chairs were locked into the floor, which is nice, because often times at shows the chairs get pushed around and you get squashed and uncomfortable. I assume the audio and video was specified by the bands, but if not...it sounded and looked nice. I wish bathrooms were a little nicer and wish they had better concession options inside, which is why i didn't give this a 5/5.

I went here for The GooGoo Dolls 2017 Long way Home Tour. It was absolutely amazing. It's a pretty big area so not too crowded. The drinks seem a little pricy but the size of them makes up for it. The sound quality and lighting was amazing. The only down side was, even at night, the 114 degree temp alone, with the crowds and the asphalt, make for a pretty sweaty evening in the summer time.

We went here for The Goo Goo Dolls show. The venue itself is fine. Besides that seating was hard even though it was assigned. We had to ask people to get out of our seats and they had to ask the people in front of them to get out of their seats. But the real problem I had is the lines for drinks. They had three cashiers at the area we were at and three bar backs. We missed the opening band because of being in line. It took around 30 minutes to get one beer. With the cost of the tickets and the beers and everything else they could hire more staff. They also ran out of Bud Light on tap. (But I don't drink it so I was fine with that lol)

This venue is not bad at all. I'm normally not a big fan of downtown Las Vegas because of parking, but this place is conveniently located right across the street from Four Queens' parking garage, which offers free parking (I think with validation. I personally parked at Fremont though). The sheer size of the venue is also huge and the stage was well lit. I came here to watch Letlive., Killswitch Engage, and Rise Against who put on an amazing show. The security was also awesome they weren't uptight and helped people up from the pit if people got knocked down. The only con I have was when the show was awkwardly interrupted in between sets by the owner of the D to throw out his plug for downtown Las Vegas. It seemed extremely unnecessary to advertise your casino to people who already paid to be here... For the most part, I had a great time and thought the venue was well maintained.

Venue is better than when i was here like a year ago but still not the greatest. Went last night for Godsmack and Shinedown and it was so way too hot out. They had misters by the bar along the edge but not under the giant tent they had set up which would have been nice. Also i called in the morning and they said we could bring our own water bottles if they were unopened. When we got there some overzealous operations manager, probably thinks he is a cop, told us we had to take the caps off the bottles. Kinda annoying but if that's the rules but what pissed me off was everyone that bought waters in the venue got to keep the caps to their waters. They need to open the stupid maze entrance when the majority of the people are inside. Why force people to walk through those when it's unnecessary? Positives are the bathroom's were clean.
