Fall is here and though the weather is a bit more manageable for our little city in the desert, it doesn’t mean that the concert and show scene in Las Vegas has cooled down at all. At this point, the city is gearing up for incredible new shows and residencies as well as spectacular sports events like Formula 1 racing (Nov. 21-23).
This is not a comprehensive list of every concert or show in Las Vegas in October, just the one we deem the very best of the group.
