Not worth the ticket price. Went to see Alan Jackson May 17, 2014 and bought the closest seats we could get for about $95 each, only to wish we were in the bleachers! We couldn't see anything but the big screens since the seats are not staggered and are all flat on the ground. Sometimes, when the people sitting in front of us went to buy more beer, we could see Alan on stage. Wish we could have stood up and danced during the concert. The seating feels much more like rundown baseball bleachers than a place for a country legend. Linda is right - the concert (schedule for 8) didn't start until closer to 9, and Alan was done around 10:30 or 11. read more

**** TIP **** 1. PARK AT THE MALL **** ADVICE TO LAUGHLIN EVENT CENTER *** 1. Print a seating chart in the event guide 2. Have informed volunteers who can direct you to your seat 3. Advertise (We were given tickets and didn't even know the Pro Bull Riders were in town) **** MY REVIEW *** The event center doesn't have parking, and they direct you to park at the mall. We had no idea where the event center was or how far we had to walk, but were so pleased to see it is right behind the mall! Just a few steps and we were in. The difficult part was getting to our seats. We started to climb the bleachers, but were met with a center rail that prevented further climbing. We went back down and went to our section, 202, and climbed again, but no, we couldn't get to row R. Back down we went. We were walking right in front of the bull riding arena when the flames and fireworks went off. Boy did that scare the kids! We hustled down to the far set of seats to try to figure out what to do, and were finally told that the upper seats were accessed from the BACK of the bleachers. You have to climb up a ladder. LOL! Kidding! So we went to the back and went up a set of stairs, but were now met by a rail that prevented us from going from section 201 or whatever it was to section 202. Who designed these crappy bleachers!?! Back down we went, getting our exercise, and were now told to do the hokey pokey. Okay, not. We were told to go down a tunnel, a draped part of the bleachers actually, and go up to our section when we saw 202 on the staircase. Off we went, and FINALLY we saw the blasted stairs to our section! Up and up we went, 3 rows from the absolute top of the bleachers. Must skip from R to Z real fast. We were on our way to seats 66 through 69, but stopped at the 30's because they were in the center of those bleachers and no one was up there. read more

Very crowded to get thru for a beer, food, merchandise, restrooms. Nice stage. Was a little surprised at bleachers, too hot for metal bleachers! read more

Not the best location for concerts. Went to see Hank Williams Jr. The venue is very basic. Seats are bleachers and the floor seating are folding chairs. Biggest issue is lack of adequate restrooms. Beverage payment is cash only. If the weather is bad or hot, this venue could be unbearable. They have a good selection of entertainment. Check weather before you commit to this venue. read more

Laughlin has been waiting a long time for a decent venue for concerts, this isn't it yet. Management: please listen to the feedback from your customers and act upon it. Laughlin needs this venue to work. read more

The seats here are the worst. They are small chairs tied together. People of average size would feel cramped! I am a person of size and I was very uncomfortable and was fat-shamed by the woman next to me. I would go back only if I could get an aisle seat so I could be slightly more comfortable. read more

Nice outdoor venue. Zero parking on site. It is located behind the outlets. 15 minuet walk from the Aquarius read more

BRAD PAISLEY Great show, a bit warm for a night concert. Brad let Hayley Orrantia play her songs for a half hour before he started. The arena had real good sound but the strobe lights were way to bright and un-comfortable to watch. He did a very good job with video's and played to the crowd making everybody have a good time. This is the second time we have seen him the last time in Vegas great shows read more

Alan Jackson put on a great show. I would give 5 Stars for him by himself. The concert seating was AWFUL. The seats were jammed so close together, you couldn't even move. Then when someone wanted to get out since we were on the end of the row, we had to get up and out every time. We we're in Section 104, about $80 seats. My free seats I got from the Riverside Casino comped, we're better then the seats I paid for on Ticketmaster. My nephew and his girlfriend sat in those seats. They we're actual chairs that looked like they were added to sell the EVENT out. Terrible planning on the Event Center. Hope you improve this seating arrangement, or we may never return. Very disappointed Country Fan read more

We went to see Alan Jackson and concert was to start at 8pm which didn't start until close to. 9pm. The seats are horrible and not staggered. You will not be able to see anything. This was a big waste of money. Water is not cold and they only sell Budweiser beer. read more

The seating is horrid at best. Cheap plastic folding chairs zip-tied together. Twice I've gone to this event and twice I was sandwiched in-between two 400Lb people. When one guy sat down the chair literally disappeared. I think he took it home in his butt. Get the cheap seats, you'll end up sitting there anyway. Plenty of room in the back to see the show and walk around. read more

I give this place 1 star! If you want "good seats" get the grandstand section 203 or 201 or sit in the bleachers. The ground floor sucks if you sit behind someone who is tall your screwed and can't see anything. They post signs on vendors that say they have good or a certain kind of drink when they don't. They only reason I'll come back is if an artist is playin here and nowhere else close but I'll be defiantly getting grand stand seats next time. Defiantly not happy with this place. And bring a coat it's outside read more

This is the worst place i have ever been to for a concert! I went to see alan jackson. I was so excited, it was my first time seeing him. The security made me throw my water away at the door. I go in and they were sold out! It was 104 degrees outside. We get to oir seats which were horrible. Way to close together and very uncomfortable. Alan comes out, we stand up and security freaks out and forces everyone to sit down. Everytime i needed to streatch my legs (recent injury) security would come yell at me. Between being uncomfortable and every 5 minutes having security come talk to me i was very annoyed and did not have a good time. $250 down the drain. Will never go there again! read more

This was the worst concert experience ever!! It looks very nice for being in Laughlin, but looks aren't everything! As someone else mentioned, the seats weren't staggered and on level ground and you couldn't see the stage even when you were standing! We purchased tickets for the Toby Keith concert in April 2014. We purchased them using the seating chart that showed the same as the year before when it was held next to the Golden Nugget, because that is what what showing at the time of purchase. WRONG......The seats were three times farther back!! We had end seats and I know what having end seat means, but the center rows are unusually long so we spent most of the night getting up and down letting people in and out. The sound system is just about the worst I've ever heard. Very high pitched distorted system. The concert was set for 7:00, as per what our tickets stated, but the opening act didn't come on until 8:00 (which was awful). Toby came out around 9:10, so we had already been sitting in these horrible seats for over two hours! Last year Toby came on at 8:00! There was a party of 10 or 12 very large people in front of us who spent the entire time standing, drinking and taking pictures, spilling into the walkway/aisle. I have been to enough concerts to know people do stand, but not like what was going on this night, and security did nothing as far as keeping people in their seats. They were so drunk that one had to be removed in a wheelchair. Yes, people have the right to have fun, but not to the point it invades my fun! Very poor security control! It was so bad, we ended up leaving halfway through......as were many people! Fortunately, they had buses returning to hotels every 15 minutes, because our bus was full as were several of the other buses. read more

Worst venue I have ever been to. Seats are too close together, the lines to get a drink were an hour long, couldn't see the stage or the screens and I'm 5'9" tall. All seating except the bleachers is on flat ground so if you have taller people in front of you, you're screwed. About the only good thing was security was tight and they didn't put up with any crap. And no food vendors. read more

Security at this place is a joke. We got asked to leave by a security guard for no good reason and the venue refused to refund our tickets. They really need to work on their customer service. Also, the sound at the venue is not the greatest. read more

I have to disagree with Linda. The show actually started about 8:15pm. And I'm sure the people who run the event center can't control when the performer goes on. They offer more than Budweiser beer because I was drinking Corona's all night. Some of the seats are not that great and it was a little hot but all in all I would say its a pretty good venue. Alan Jackson was great! read more

Bleacher seating was fine. View was good..what I expected. Would come back for sure ! Sound was great ! Shuttle to and from venue..we walked back. Love outdoor concerts ! read more

Instead of having security posted between sections, they allowed people from sections 2 & 3 to enter section 1 causing the stage security to continuously rush people. Having up to 10 security people rushing in front of you 10 to 20 times disrupted the show and blocked the view. Having second row seats, I expected to have a nice view of the entertainer. Instead, I had to watch a show put on by security and disrespectful patrons read more

This was my first concert at this place and it was awesome!! Tim McGraw was great. I had no idea that this venue was soooooo nice. Real seats and not just high school bleachers like in the past. I am going to the Alan Jackson concert in February. I paid about $75 for my seats and I could not believe how close I was. The staff is super helpful too. read more

Went to see Carrie Underwood concert. It was my first time at the Event Center. We were on the floor and I agree with others that if only one person stands you cannot see the big screens. Even when everyone is sitting you are still looking between people to see the screens. I think the screens need to be up higher and it would solve the problem. That said, concert was just perfect. Getting in and out worked well. Carrie Underwood is amazing and put on a great show. read more

Went to see Lady Antebellum last night, first time I've been to this venue and I'm a local. Not too much rock in Laughlin so we opted for a country rock show. We sat in Section 107 right next to the videographer and soundboard. All in all it was a pretty good experience except for the two douche-bags that stood up the entire time in front of us. Lady Antebellum were pretty good and the sound was acceptable. but... unless you're 6'3'' and 140 pounds you won't be comfortable or be able to see anything. The seating is horribly cramped. If you need to stand up and get out the entire row has to stand up and move out to let you out. Paid pretty good money for the seats and never had to sit so cramped in my life. Drinks were pricey as expected, no big (9 bucks for a long island). If you don't want to wait in a huge line for the restroom walk behind the bleachers and there are restrooms back there that have less people. Buses and casino shuttles are allowed in the venue but if you want a taxi you have to walk out to the main street and stand in the middle of the street, same for dropping you off.. Unless a major rock / metal band shows up there (not) I probably won't be going back. read more

WOW! Ticket prices are exorbitant. Higher then Las Vegas. Sadly most of the casinos buy them up in large amounts and then right before the concert they are released to the public. LEC uses a third party to sell tickets , They use Vivid Seats. Good luck finding fair prices on there. My advice. WAIT until the day of casino and then they are released to the public at original ticket price. Granted they are still expensive as hell. 300 dollars for these entertainers to sit within the first few rows is nuts. The seating is level and only at the bleachers do the seats rise up. Also UNCOMFORTABLE as hell read more

Went to Lady antebellum on Friday March 4th and it was a terrible experience. Was in section 105 and when four ladies decided to stand up you could not see anything. Don't waste your money coming here for a concert since there are much better venues in the Las Vegas and Phoenix areas. read more
