Along with blazing temperatures and more reasons to drink during the day (you have to stay cool somehow), summer in Vegas also brings with it a stellar line-up of concerts that you can enjoy poolside and at Lake Las Vegas. Below is a list of what’s scheduled so far, but keep checking back as we’ll be updating this throughout the summer:

Friday Night Live Concert Series at Hard Rock Hotel Pool
If you’re looking for a happening crowd who’s ready to party, then the pool at Hard Rock Hotel is the place to be. Big name headliners perform on a poolside stage while revelers rock out on the sandy beach area, near the cabanas and sometimes even in the water. Bars are set up around the pool area for easy access to your next drink. Since these shows always attract a crowd, we recommend that you get there early to avoid waiting in a long line before the show.
