Allegiant Stadium, Resorts World Theatre, Dolby Live Top Venue Charts

Author Shawn Tempesta

When it comes to entertaining audiences, Las Vegas knows a thing or two. Billboard released their list of the top selling venues of varying sizes and three venues in town took the cake in their respective categories, with others making the top 5.

Allegiant Stadium finally has a year of audiences under its belt and right from the jump, they are now the number 1 stadium for live events. Not in America… but internationally. At two dozen events from November 2021 to October 2022, the venue raked in over $180,000,000 in ticket sales and welcomed over 1,000,000 paying customers into the doors. They were the only ones to reach the million fan milestone and eclipsed number 2 – SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles – by almost 500,000 fans.

Believe it or not, that doesn’t include the home teams. Raiders games and UNLV games don’t factor into the numbers so the numbers are even higher than that!

Dolby Live at Park MGM can sit up to 5,600 but found itself at the top of the 5,001-10,000 capacity venue list. Nearly 478,000 were welcomed into the door, raking in over $114,000,000. It surely helps having Lady Gaga, Usher and Aerosmith as house bands, eh?

Resorts World Theatre might be new to the block, but they are hitting it out of the park. The venue which can seat up to 5,000 raked in over $55,000,000 in ticket sales, and welcomed over 326,000 fans into the doors. Not bad for a new venue. Of course, having Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood and Katy Perry doesn’t hurt a bit.

Other Las Vegas venues fared pretty well on the list.

  • T-Mobile Arena was #4 on the list of arenas that can seat over 15,000. Madison Square Garden in New York City took the top spot there.
  • The Colosseum at Caesars Palace came in at #3 on the list of venues that seat from 5,001-10,000, which Dolby Live took the top spot for.
  • MGM Grand Garden Arena was #3 on the list of arenas that can seat 10,001-15,000.

All told, Las Vegas is a pretty hot ticket. But we knew that already.

Here’s What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn This Week

OK… well… the last two weeks!

It’s been a wild couple weeks on Aimee+Shawn! Last week was cut short by the Thanksgiving holiday, and this week Shawn’s week was shortened by something else. We’ll get to that in a bit.

Last Monday, it was all about the afterglow of witnessing Adele’s long-awaited (and delayed) premiere at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Shawn got to go Friday, and Aimee brought her mom the following night. Both of them agree, despite all the trash they talked, the show was definitely worth the wait. Shawn actually painstakingly wrote a blog about the concert as it happened and it did terribly, so if you could click this link and slowly scroll to the bottom, his children can eat. Thanks!

It was a two day work week before Thanksgiving for the pair and to end the week, they did it in the grossest way possible. Five lucky(?) contestants got to shove their hand right in a turkey’s rear to potentially pull out some incredible concert tickets! There were tickets to Taylor Swift, P!nk and Ed Sheeran and everyone left with a prize and an elevated chance of salmonella.

Aimee stayed in Las Vegas for turkey day while Shawn and the fam headed back to Boston for a 68 hour trip that somehow, stunningly, involved two massive checked bags. The flight back was an absolute nightmare for Shawn and his recap will make you feel better about your day.

While Shawn was out in Boston, he took his eldest son Colin out for Chinese food. It’s one of Shawn’s favorite restaurants since he was a kid. Colin loved the pork fried rice and chicken fingers and Shawn thought he did a great job… but then two hours later Colin wasn’t feeling well and soon he was puking everywhere? Did Shawn give his kid food poisoning?! (Answer coming soon…)

Meanwhile Aimee had a new guest for Thanksgiving this year and decided to screw with him… and it was all captured on video!

Now for the stunning conclusion of “Did Shawn give his kid food poisoning?!”… probably not. Mario got sick a day or two later and barfed his brains out. Then Shawn took Tuesday and Wednesday off with other issues (thankfully no barfing) followed by his wife also keeled over. Turns out it was a bug.

Aimee’s getting a little perturbed at her grocery store pluckers who don’t obey her orders of only pink apples. The yellow apples aren’t her thing and she’s over it!

Shawn had to confront his wife after she asked to go to an eighth Christmas event this year which leads us to the question… how much is too much? If you had to pick three, which would they be?

Finally, it was time for the triumphant return of the Lock Of The Week! Aimee got Thanksgiving week off – which she needed after being shellacked by Shawn’s boys… will this week’s picks fare better?

See you for more fun (and Ed Sheeran tickets) Monday!
