Entry is seamless and I love how they have some much Aces gear at the front. Viewing the game was good. No matter the level or section, you have visibility. The screen is a big help with that too. My only dislike with the space is that the seats at the very top get tight. There is barely any room to sit comfortably and move to and from your seat.

Came for a comedy show with three comics I've never heard of and based on the fact the showroom was barely half full, you wonder what kind of show it's going to be. The host was a guy named Joshua Snyder. He really lacked enthusiasm. His jokes were ok but overall flat. The next guy out was Kevin Christy, a little more well known and he was the best of the three. The headliner Dean Delray was ok. If swear words did not exist I don't know if this guy would have an act. This is the second show we have seen of stand up comics coming out of the LA Comedy Scene and they are not really that great. It's ok for a night out but no super fantastic. There was a section of Veterans and none of the three comics knew this or showed recognition. That's the first sign, a half filled room and they didn't even know their audience. Dean kept attacking a guy in the Veterans section who looked young and had a cane. When he finally asked the guy why he had the cane, the guy said from the military, Dean was like "oh shit" thank you for your service. So again, it was nice to be out and seeing a show last minute, the Aliante Casino is a great place with awesome staff, the showroom was not bad, decent seats, nice staff, they really cared about people and their comfort. This particular show with these three guys, I would pass on as they were ok. I've seen much better with actual life experience type jokes that are clean. I don't have anything against swearing, I was in the Navy, but when your entire act is swearing, it gets old quick. Lastly, when they say we will be in the lobby after the show for pictures and I gave stickers and donations are welcome, you know they are on the lower comedy circuit.

Hey Yelp friends! I…read morehave not had a bad experience at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center. This is a great open air venue and it is very spacious. They have a great main stage area, the ground is covered in indoor outdoor grass. There are several canopies set up for drink vendors and a huge one set up in the middle stocked with beverages, bartenders and lotsa water. Across from the main entrance there are restrooms set up. They are so nice and way better than the port-a-potties. Just to the left of those is the VIP area. It looks like it has a great view of the whole venue. When you come in the main entrance it always has a great police and security presence. In fact the whole perimeter is being monitored and they are visible. They will check bags and have metal detectors, so be prepared. Both concert and community events like the Great Santa Run, were both very organized and the Checkin's for the events moved seamlessly. I like how they will bring in food trucks and some other stuff for concerts and music events. So fun! The vibe is friendly and fun from all who are working. We are always having the best time! The thought and details are so cool and I appreciate them. When you are raving at a concert and the lights are all flashing and jamming with the music as well as the graphics on the building behind the stage. It's really an experience and I Love It!!! We have had good luck with parking. We either park right on the street with in a block of the venue, or we have valeted at the D. They are so close from the entrance and they are so nice. They have a barista and I like to stop in for a coffee and treat. Also, this location is walking distance to many good food options, so we have walked from an event to eat right after. This is a great entertainment venue for locals and visitors. It is definitely something to check out. We will be back for sure.

DLVEC hosts everything from electronic music festivals to country nights, and it's a hotspot during big UFC fights, Golden Knights games, and March Madness. The best part? Many events are free or low-cost, and there's plenty of space to dance, chill, or cheer with a drink in hand. If you thought concerts in Vegas only happen on the Strip, think again. DLVEC proves the best Vegas nights aren't always on the Strip--grab a drink, catch a show, and vibe like a local.

I had noticed the…read morenews article for Diversion Amusements back in March 2021 and thought it would be a great place to go! I had booked a table for 2, for approximately $160.00, $80 a ticket, close to the center stage at Diversion Amusements. I wasn't sure what to expect when arriving there. Diversion Amusements is located near Arville/Tropicana area. It has a private parking lot with dedicated spots for Diversion Amusements. As soon as you walk in, the music is loud and the night lights were glowing! You provided your tickets at the register and checked in. The host walked us to our a table. The table had plenty of tapas plates, napkins, waters, and our first course of appetizers, chips/hot salsa. All around inside Diversion Amusements are pinball machines and arcade games. They have a few arcade games that are those 100 in 1, where you can choose the type of game you want to play such as Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Galaga, and much more! All of the arcade and pinball games are free within Diversion Amusements. The Pinball themed games range from Stranger Things, Ghost Busters, Tron, and much more! There is also a virtual golf game too! There is a open bar inside Diversion Amusements. All tables are situated with low table seating in the front and high tables in the back. When you purchase tickets, you can buy a max of 4 seats per table. We ended up sitting at table 2, right next to the TV and Speakers. Next time, I'd probably purchase seats further back. The music was loud sitting right in-front of the speakers and towards the end of the 3rd quarter game, my neck was slightly hurting from looking up at the screen. The event was a lot of fun. It was a 6 course meal through the game. Two courses came out per each quarter of the Vegas Golden Knights game. The first quarter consisted of the chips/salsa with hot sauce. Just note, you only get one appetizer per table, per 2 seats. If you need more food, you can request it. The next appetizer was the meatballs. The meatballs were relatively small. Lots of marinara and green onions on-top of the meatballs. It wasn't too loaded with spices either. Luckily, the VGK team scored a few points! Soda and water is all inclusive with the tickets. On the second quarter, during the game, a salad was served "shake it up!" style. A fiesta ranch salad with Chopped Romaine, Black Beans, Roasted Corn, Jicama & Multicolored bell peppers. A poppy seed dressing was accompanied with the salad. I passed on the salad, but my partner enjoyed it. The next item out was the smoked brisket & cheese quesadilla. This was flour tortillas filled with shredded smoked brisket, cheddar & white cheese blend, fresh cilantro & diced onions, drizzled with Smoky Aioli. Ending the quarter, was the grape tomato & pearl mozzarella skewer, or caprese. It was garnished with Sliced cucumber and finished with a garlic cilantro pesto. The team members were quite attentive, constantly filling up drinks and asking if we needed anything else during our visit at Diversion Amusements. Whenever the golden knights scored, the sound would go off, just like if you were at the Golden Knights game! The lightly was amazing inside Diversion Amusements. Wrapping up the Golden Knights game in the 3rd quarter, was the Chili Dog. 100% beef hot dog in a toasted poppyseed bun, complemented with homemade chili, shredded cheese blend, Pico de Gallo, & cilantro lime crema. I had opted out and asked if they could make a plain hot dog due to dietary restrictions. My partner really enjoyed the chili dog though. The dessert was a warm caramel filled churro, served with homemade whipped cream. It was good. This was an amazing experience at Diversion Amusements. I would come here again!

As you go in, there is a bouncer who checks your temperature and bags. You then check in at the front desk and you are ushered to your table/ tables. During the game, you are served with a 5 finger food course. We are told they have different menu themes so you may not get the same spread. Non Alcoholic drinks are free. You only need to pay for Alcohol. Pinball games are all free during the event. You can keep yourself entertained during intermissions! The servers were all friendly and attentive. I still don't know how they found out I'm a vegetarian. They had food made to accommodate my needs! They are wonderful!

Getting to the Aria was pretty easy. I took the I15 - Flamingo Exit and parked at the self-service parking garage at the Aria. Locals can use their NV license for the first 3 hours, complimentary. The ARIA Convention Center is located on the second level of the casino. It's right next to the Proper Eats food court. There are multiple areas within the Convention Center. There is the east side and the west side. There are 4 different levels, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, and the Plaza level. At first, I had difficulty finding all of the different sessions at the conference, but after the first day, I was able to locate all of the different areas like Ironwood West (3rd West), Juniper West (3rd West), Mariposa East (2nd level), Olvarado East (Plaza). Aria has escalators going to each different level. The food was decent. There was complimentary breakfast served. This typically included pastries like muffins, Danish pastry, fruit mixture, and some sort of breakfast wrap. There was complimentary lunches provided on different days and a Grab-and-Go lunch on the third day at the conference. Coffee was available at all levels. The conference rooms were spacious, and I wasn't too cold, only in a few rooms! The Keynote sessions in the ballrooms at the Aria Convention Center were amazing! Hopefully, I'll get to go to another conference hosted by Aria!

I parked on site all 3 days. 2 of the days I was not charged then on Sunday morning I was charged $15. I think they are extremely low on staff. Of the 3 days the starbucks was only opened on Sunday and there was a super long line and they were not accepting mobile orders. There were also a lot of other food locations that were not opened. We had a hard time locating staff when we had questions. All the security people working the door at the tournament smelled like weed. The bathrooms were super duper clean and the grounds are clean as well. The AC worked very well on our side as well. It felt like it was set to 58! I needed my blanket to just to get comfortable lol. Overall it was a good venue. Staff was really lacking and the ones that were there were really questionable. Also I think its rude to host all day and not open the food and coffee options.

I visited the Mandalay Bay Convention Center for Identiverse 2026!…read more I have been on site since Monday. As a leading digital identity, cybersecurity, privacy, governance, and digital trust conference Identiverse brings together practitioners, innovators, and other industry leaders to talk about how we secure identities of people, applications, devices, and systems driven by AI. It was my first time at Identiverse and the sheer size of the event was impressive! There were many different aspects of the event including keynote presentations and technical deep dives, hands on demos and networking opportunities, all taking place to promote conversations regarding the future of identity security. As it relates to being a part of the conversation at Identiverse, on Tuesday I was able to speak as well as be the Master of Ceremonies for a few sessions. As such, I was fortunate enough to help facilitate conversation regarding some of the most pressing issues organizations face today. I was honored to interact with the many experts and practitioners working towards shaping the future of our industry. A note for those planning on attending in the future. While I originally walked from the standard Mandalay Bay parking garage, I would recommend using the designated convention center parking as it provides easier access into the facility! Identiverse 2026 has been an amazing experience. The conversations, innovation, and people are what made this event so memorable and amazing!
