I can't imagine him filling a stadium in Vegas. An arena, like T-Mobile, would be more likely. It sounds like you just missed him... 19 years ago at UNLV.

This weekend something called Illenium is playing the first concert at Allegiant Stadium. Next week it's Garth Brooks. In August, GnR. I imagine that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are at least a bigger draw than two of those, or at least Illenium.

I’ve seen him over 25 times and have travelled for him too. I don’t recall him playing anywhere in North America west of Chicago in a stadium besides LA. It’s just not his market. He could certainly book and play there, I just don’t think it would be filled. Stadium shows for him are in the North East and Europe.

That thing this weekend doesn’t even look to have sold the upper levels. This current tour for GnR is selling terribly. I don’t think they’ve even sold half a stadium on any date. They should’ve booked amphitheaters.

Then I wonder why he hasn't been in Vegas in so long. There's no other big touring act who has avoided this market for that long - - it's not just a bigger US city, it's one of the Entertainment capitals of the United States. The closest any other touring artist came to totally skipping Vegas was Taylor Swift, but she did headline a music festival once. I had always assumed she and Bruce skipped playing a show in Las Vegas because they were primarily stadium acts (and our old stadium was not a venue you would want to play).
