From IrishMASMS on the DEF CON forums comes this helpful post:

Las Vegas concerts for Black Hat & DEFCON time frame

Some out of town folks hit me up asking about concerts around town during this year's Black Hat andDEFCON. I took a quick look on http://pollstar.com/ and http://www.jambase.com/ for what might be interesting. YMMV, though I thought sharing is caring.

As for venues, the Hard rock sucks. House of Blues is one of the best in town. MGM Grand is ok, but the sound quality in the arena can be shitty in spots. The Pearl is the brand new venue in town, good luck getting tickets. The Station casinos are not bad venues, and I think those are free shows. The Cannery Casino I have never been to, so I can not say - and there is no review posted on www.yelp.com yet for me to reference.


HTH!
