Clark County Amphitheater

Great place for Jazz In the Park!

I’ve been here several times and it’s a great setup for outdoor concerts/​show.
Parking is ample and the venue is contained.
Depending on the show/​festival, there are different retail and food vendors that show up.
For the recent jazz festival, everyone brought their own lawn chairs, and coolers for an all day picnic. I think this may depend on each festival and their restrictions.
Overall, I am looking forward to attending more events here :)

The Clark County Amphitheater is located right across the street from the giant World Market Center. This grass filled area was the stage for the 4^th Annual Downtown Craft Beer Festival, while the beer fest left something to be desired, the venue was great.
Plenty of grassy area to sit and easy access concrete walkways so you can avoid stumbling down the steeper areas of the grassy hills. The sound system is on point and no matter where you sit you can easily see the stage.
The bathroom situation here is pretty sparse; with the only bathrooms being available being inside the semi-​private rooms unless the event you’re attending has provided port-​o-​pottys and even then let’s hope they have rented enough.
Great use of outdoor space and I hope to attend another event here soon.

Thank you again Unilocal Las Vegas for the ticket! This review is for Reggae in the Desert which is held every year here at the Clark County Ampitheatre, good for people who enjoy outdoor lawn seating types of events. I had won tickets from Unilocal initially I thought it was a pair but it ended up being just one so it paid my way in. Hey! I’m not complaining. Luckily my aunt was taking my cousin and sister. They had clear rules on what you could bring in, no outside food one water bottle per person and blankets only but I saw some people smuggle in some lawn chairs which isn’t fair because it was quite uncomfortable where we sat at first as the venue was packed. You have to come early to get a good seat this place was filled and covered everywhere with people. If the weather allows you to come early and you can handle the heat then go for it because it was 110 when we came in the evening at 530. We were trying to beat the heat. Even though the place was packed you pretty much have a good view of the stage from everywhere. We later met up with some friends closer to the stage with a lot more room and were much more comfortable there. Plenty of vendors selling merchandise such as hats, clothing, jewelry music etc. food vendors selling Carribean food and shaved ice. Just beware the Mary Jane can make you a little light headed I warned you. ONE LOVE!

Jazz in the park concert series was the event we came to attend. Glad we did for sure. Who knew the amazing courtyard of the Clark County Government center (behind the pyramid) on Bonneville and Grand Central Pakway could transform into an high quality music venue with world class talent. This all comes at my favorite price of free 99.
The Jazz in th Park concert takes place annually in the spring with concerts being held weekly on Saturday with 5 shows and several artists in attendance. We had the pleasure of seeing Jackiem Joyner on Sax, Steve Oliver playing soulful guitar, and Selina Albright the versitile volcalist. These 3 extemely talented individuals put on a fantastic show for our first experience to Jazz in the Park. Our family will be attending many more of these events during the 2015 series.
Many other musicians will be stopping by the Amphitheater this season. Artisits like Spyro Gyra, Marc Antoine, and the Brubeck Brothers Quartet. These artists are highly honored in the music industry with several hits Grammy’s and Billboard Awards.
One improvement that could be made for these weekly events is the options for food. I think a food truck or three could be very simple to coordinate on a Saturday evening. Wine and Beer are available for purchase in the vendor area. However almost everyone brought their own coolers and picnic baskets and low back chairs to enjoy the beautiful weather and Jazz under the stars.
I say we get a large group of Unilocalers together for a UYE in the coming weeks. The weather will only get warmer and the music even hotter as the 2015 season progresses.

Every county should offer community events that are class and free. Way to kick it up a notch Clark county. This is my third time coming to jazz in the park and each time is a unique and healthy experience. Vegas has the best evening weather for an outdoor event too.

it was a good night and Marlena Shaw was funny and good
meet a lot of good people and new groups be there next week

This venue is great for people who enjoy outdoor lawn type seating for an event. I’ve attended a food festival, Reggae in the Desert, and most recently the Jazz in the Park Series.
The coliseum-​style seating is great too because everyone has a good view of the stage practically from any where you are seated, the grass is soft, and when the sun goes down, its pretty well lit.
A bunch of us got together and did a potluck on the lawn while listening to the legendary Jazz artist Earl Klugh. This FREE event also allows you to bring low back lawn chairs, blankets, and even picnic items and alcohol at no additional charge… who else does that???
For all you Reggae music fans, Reggae in the Desert is just around the corner, but be warned that you may feel a little Irie at the end of the evening from concert goers who’ll bring Mary Jane to the party and be passin’ that dutchie… ALOHA!!!

i met up with some friends to enjoy an outside concert by Earl Klugh. I have listened to him through the years and to actually experience his artistry in person was such a delight. The weather was just perfect.
Our friends joined low lawn chairs and picnic blankets. We brought some great snacks like coconut, some cookies, cheese and crackers, melons and of course shared some wine. It was such a relaxing evening and just perfect under the stars.
I have to admire the band. The power went out throughout the entire park for a few minutes. The audience remained calm and soon the power began to come back on in sections. The band continued to play from where they left off in the song.
The layout of the park lends itself to a casual experience, but graded so everyone has a good view. There are ample sidewalks to navigate the ampitheater. Most everyone has a good view if even from the side. This venue adds to the quality of life and It makes you proud to know Las Vegas believes in the arts and providing venues such as this. Thanks, Clark County!
Such a beautiful evening and a beautiful experience. I can’t wait to go back!

I’ve been to a couple events here and this place is perfect for holding big events. All you have to do is brink a chair, or blanket, snacks, and drinks (if permitted) and you’re set for a good evening. During the day you can find a nice spot under the shade and as the day goes on, more shade becomes available. Anywhere you set up here is a great spot to see what’s happening on stage. My family and I went to a festival here and when it was over, we went over the outlet mall, which is across the street. In the same area is the Smith Center which is beautiful after dark, also in the day.
There are many things to do in the area and you could plan a decent day/​evening; relaxing on the lawn in the amphitheater is one of them.

This may be the best ever venue to have an outdoor beer tasting event and October 20^th was a perfect day-​not too hot and certainly not cold.
Had a lot of fun, hope something else is hosted here.

Wow… I can’t belive it took me this long to go and check this place out. It was off the chain. The first time we just went to check it out. You take your own chairs/​blanket/​Pillows/​Drinks… yesssssssssss Drinks, food and relax it’s awsome… But it’s over; v (so next yr I will be there every Saturday. They have vendors. Food drins, clothing, and some other things as well. But it’s amazing. The warm up bands are high school students so just… ummm yea wait for the real thing to hit the stage, it’s well worth it.

A grass knoll suitable for taking in a concert. There is no assigned seating here, so those that have the best portable seating options will have the best time. According to their website, the lawn holds 3000 people. There is plenty of room to move about, plenty of parking and if you get bored, you can run across the street and go shopping at the Premium Outlets.
You’re not going to see U2 here, but for some free Jazz shows or a more local oriented festival, this is a convenient and comfortable spot.

I was here recently for the Las Vegas jazz festival and this place was the perfect venue. There were rows of grassy areas with walkways in between, and it is constructed in such a way that no matter where you sit you have a good view of the stage. There are plenty of trees for shade on the higher ground. This venue would be excellent for just about any outdoor show or event requiring a stage.

Since discovering the Jazz in the Park series
, we’ve been frequenting the Clark County Amphitheater every year for these lovely outdoor musical events.
Located conveniently across from the Premium Outlets, there are plenty of parking spaces available with an easy walk to the amphitheater itself.
The amphitheater is set up with grassy levels which makes bringing blankets and low back chairs ideal. There are plenty of concrete walkways to push a stroller (or wheelchair) or to drag an ice cooler as well.
There are even real bathrooms available (and not portable ones) for these concert events, although there can be a line as there are only a handful of stalls.
During such events, there are usually a few vendors selling their wares, so you won’t starve. Plenty of garbage cans are available to limit littering and all the events we’ve attended request that no smoking take place on the lawn.
I really enjoy coming out this way for these local events — it’s never too crowded where you can’t find a spot on the grass and many people make a picnic out of it. (We always do!)
My only concern is that there were some unpleasant bugs running around during one of the last events we were at. In the dim light, I saw this particular bug run across our cheese container and that just put me off and ultimately sent the cheese to the rubbish. Technically, you don’t see these bugs running around rampant, but I’m sure they do exist and come out when the sun starts to drop and there are bits of food everywhere.
Overall, the Clark County Amphitheater is really clean and a great place to have these (often free) family-​friendly events. I’m sure it’ll get busier every year.
