‘When We Were Young’ Adds Second Show Date To 2023 Festival

For months, we've all been trying to forget the devastating windstorm that cancelled the first day of the 2022 When We Were Young Festival. Thousands of Las Vegas visitors and residents alike were unable to live out their pop-punk dreams, which caused the initial first and only day of the 2023 festival to sell out at a nearly rapid rate. Fortunately, When We Were Young has added a second show date to this year's upcoming festival!

Fans will now have the opportunity to purchase tickets for the When We Were Young festival's second show date, Sunday, October 22nd, 2023, just one day after the sold-out Saturday show date. With the addition of a second day of the festival, double the amount of fans will now be able to enjoy the music of their favorite pop-punk artists and the magic of the Las Vegas festival.

The 2023 When We Were Young Festival lineup offers fans the opportunity to see some of the biggest names in pop-punk, including 30 Seconds To Mars, The Offspring, Good Charlotte, 5 Seconds of Summer, All Time Low, New Found Glory, Yellowcard, and several more.

The additional second show date will offer festival goers the exact same lineup of artists as the first day of When We Were Young 2023. According to News 3, ticket presale for the second show date will begin on Friday, February 24th at 2:00 p.m. PST, and if there are any remaining tickets following the presale, those will be available for the general public to purchase starting Friday, February 24th at 3:00 p.m. PST.

News 3 reports that layaway plans start at just $19.99 down, with General Admission tickets starting at $279.99. To sign up for the ticket presale, click here.

Well, it's shaping up to be a pretty big year in Las Vegas for visitors from outside of the state. People are coming to our neighborhood for all kinds of reasons. Brand new gaming venues are opening. Music festivals are happening throughout the year. Sporting events are becoming more and more plentiful. And now there's another reason for tourists to put Sin City on their list of places to see. Many travel websites, like Kayak, just released a list of the cheapest places to travel to in 2023. And Las Vegas is on it.

Kayak made the list based on a variety of factors. First was who had the cheapest flights. We know specials are offered all the time on flights to Vegas. Especially these smaller airlines like Frontier, Allegiant and Spirit. I've flown from Vegas to California, Washington, Utah and Montana for very low fares.

The second factor Kayak considered was the price of hotels. Again, we have specials all the time in Las Vegas. And with rewards programs at our casinos, there's a lot of money to be saved on lodging here. Add in our time shares and AirBnbs and you've got a lot of the cheapest options for visitors coming here.

The final considerations Kayak included in their list are which destinations on the web get the most searches. Also travel restrictions and security concerns in each area searched. 

So where does Las Vegas land on the list of cheapest places to travel to? We took only the cities in the United States to put on our list. And, thanks to Travel and Leisure, we've gathered the average cost of flight and hotel it takes to travel to each place. Check out where Las Vegas falls on this list of top 13 cheapest places in the United States to travel to in 2023. – Wendy Rush

Vegas is becoming a lot more popular with our ever growing strip of casinos, expanding sports teams and population of residents. Vegas is a place that many have overlooked for years due to the "vulgarity" and "party centric mindset." Yet, did the judgements of those realize that behind the smoke and mirrors is a beautiful city?

Now-a-days, people are having a change of heart with how "cheap" it is to live here with all of the amenities that come along with it. People are moving to Nevada for different reasons. Some appreciate that we have less traffic, big entertainment, dry weather and the convivence to do things at all hours of the day. Individuals are able to afford homes with multiple rooms, a kitchen, backyard, garage and more. Couples are planting their roots in Vegas and starting families of their vary own.

Did we mention most of the places in Vegas have free parking? No, we are not talking about Las Vegas BLVD. As we are in a landlocked desert, we don't have a beach but that isn't hindering people when it comes to going out— especially during summer time.

Out door malls, casino art installations and farmers markets are just a few of the extras that locals get the chance to experience just for living in Vegas. Some of the free things to par take in aren't seen in plane sight and have to be sought out but once found are worth the hunt. A few of the free activities are a bit of a drive so take so take some time off to explore the city in it's fullest capacity.

With the economy like a rollercoaster, it can be challenging to have fun without hurting the bank account.

We have found 10 fun things to do in the Entertainment Capital of the World that are FREE. Yes, zero cost. Enjoy.
