Ed Sheeran +–=÷x Tour – October 28, 2023
Ed Sheeran’s concert on October 28, 2023, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas is part of his “+ – = ÷ x Tour” (pronounced “The Mathematics Tour”). This tour is highly anticipated, especially after the drama that took place when he had to postpone his scheduled show on September 9, 2023 only a few hours before the show, but now he’s rescheduled and all previous ticket holders will be able to go to this show. All is well in the world now.
Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix – November 16-18
The highly anticipated (excluding anyone from Las Vegas) Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix is set to light up the sports and entertainment capital of the world from November 16-18, 2023, as the racers will zoom through Las Vegas Strip - which is a sentence I’d never thought I’d ever type out. For F1 fanatics, its going to be a must-see experience – whether in person or on TV. As for the residents of Las Vegas, we cannot WAIT for the construction to be over. To say its been brutal to go anywhere near the strip the past year because of construction, would be the understatement of the year. We just hope and pray to the Vegas gods above, that F1 ends up living up to the hype and sacrifices our Strip has made..
Durango Resort & Casino Opening – November 20, 2023
The Durango Casino and Resort in Las Vegas is set to open its doors on November 20, 2023, and I for one, couldn’t be more excited. This actually may be the biggest opening of a casino thats off the strip, as so many locals are fans of what Station Casinos have done with other properties around the Valley such as Red Rock Casino and Green Valley Ranch. Outside of the gambling, I’m REALLY looking forward to the food. The pop-up spots they’ve had at Red Rock Casino, allowing us to try some of the food going in to Durango just gets my tastebuds all excited.
NBA In-Season Tournament December 7-9, 2023
The NBA In-Season Tournament for the 2023-2024 season is a new venture by the league to inject excitement and competitive play into the regular season. The tournament will consist of two stages: Group Play and the Knockout Rounds. See if you can follow along…
A. Group Play
All 30 teams have been randomly drawn into groups of five within their conference based on won-loss records from the 2022-23 regular season. Beginning Nov. 3 and continuing through Tuesday, Nov. 28, each team will play four designated Group Play games on “Tournament Nights” – one game against each opponent in its group, with two games at home and two on the road.
B. Knockout Rounds
Eight teams will advance to the Knockout Rounds: the team with the best standing in Group Play games in each of the six groups and two “wild cards” (the team from each conference with the best record in Group Play games that finished second in its group). The Knockout Rounds will be single-elimination games in the Quarterfinals (played in NBA team markets on Monday, Dec. 4 and Tuesday, Dec. 5), Semifinals and Championship. The qualifying teams will compete for a prize pool and the new In-Season Tournament trophy, the NBA Cup – which has no bearing on the actual NBA Championship. We’ll see how this goes at T-Mobile Arena December 7-9, 2023

Post Malone Performing at Fontainebleau – December 30-31, 2023
Not too much is known just yet about Post Malone performing at BleauLive Theater inside the newest casino on the Vegas strip, Fontainebleau. Needless to say we’re excited to see him ring in 2024 as the first headliner there.
