February 2012 Vegas Headliners
Superbowl 46 on February 5th will draw huge betting and viewing crowds. UFC 143, welterweights Ortiz v. Berto and other MMA/Kickboxing shows highlight a strong month of fisticuffs. This is also a good poker month with the Venetian's DeepStack carrying over from January joined by Caesars and Wynn tournaments and Jamie Gold's new poker room at the Tropicana. Rugby, cheerleading and NCAA Basketball round out a great sports month.
For the kids, the Globetrotters bounce into Vegas (don't bet on the Washington Generals) and Comedy is king. 25 other comedy acts are in town with Dana Carvey, Tim Allen, and a not so common sighting of Elayne Boosler in store among the others.
Ethnic acts are particulary strong with the romance of Ranchera to the thug life of Narcorrido and 2 latino comedy shows. Itzhak Perlman will take a bow at UNLV. Country is a little light in February but George Strait and Martina McBride join Garth's 3 shows to set the boots a stompin'.
Our recurring headliners are joined by Motley Crue at the Hard Rock. They kickstart your heart on the 3rd with shows up to the 19th. Elton has scattered shows from the 9th to the 18th with Celine towards the end of the month and into mid-March with a big gap in her Vegas shows until June.
