Venue :

Sam Boyd Stadium


Location :
7000 E. Russell Rd. Las Vegas, NV 89122
Description :
The Sin City resting place of the Grateful Dead until the very end, Sam Boyd Stadium (formerly the Silver Bowl; old-timers still refer to it as such) isn't so much a stadium as it is a solar-powered barbecue. Aside from being at the mercy of the elements, however, the Boyd isn't too bad a venue as stadiums go. We've seen and heard worse and that was in temperate 70-degree weather. U2 sounded great here when they opened their "Pop Mart" tour on premises. Parking, however, is a sandblasted nightmare; plan accordingly. Hours of operation: Varies according to show Occupancy: 40,000. Bar/Refreshment area: Yes. ATM: Yes.
