We are Excited to Share a part of our Now Rock Legend Music History. As The First Rock Concerts Brought to Las Vegas, By Michael Tell & Dick Lepre at the Ice Palace which opened in 1967 a 60,000 sq foot Event Space with 4,000 Seating Capacity, where they Laid wood atop the Ice rink for concerts. At The Time it was Estimated that The Doors Drew 8,000 attendees On October 4th, 1969

We hope you enjoy a trip down memory lane, Read the Full Story in our Upcoming Documentary…

Our History shows over 70 Concerts at this Location from 1968-1983 With Legends such as Jerry Garcia the Grateful Dead, To a then 21 year old Santana, to Bob Marley at 28 years old, and Jim Morrison & the Doors. The last known concert pre Y2K was The Cure 1983 during our 20th year in opeation- The Cure formed in 1976, and did not come to the US until 1980, The would have played the Walk at the Ice palace. and Depeche Mode formed in 1980, and played the ice Palace 1983 on Their Broken Frame tour, they were in Los Angeles and San Fransico March 1983-concert Archives dont show a Vegas Stop but Locals remembers the concert- they would have placed- Get the Balance right released January 31, 1983.

Most Recently we had Deadma5 On May 18, 2023, along with Local Franky Perez, and Bella Strings as a comeback in our 60th Year of operation. 40 years since our last Big Concert. deadmau5 is a supergroup that scored the biggest ticketed global headliner dance event of 2022, drawing 46,000 people to the L.A. Coliseum. 12,000 Tickets sold out in just a few hours 12,000, we ended up hosting 5,000 with another 1,000 plus who were not able to get in, due to security protocols, and we had another few thousand locals who anticipated going but tickets sold out fast. Had they made this event fully open its possible we could have been swarmed with over 46,000 like the coliseum, as we had over 520,000 going to EDC that weekend. Many Las Vegas Locals.
