Fodor's Expert Review The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas

The concert hall long known as The Joint is now just The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. During the makeover, the 4,000-plus capacity venue was entrusted to concert promoter AEG Presents, and the room was spruced up with new seating and some changes, like moving a VIP area to the ground-floor level. Upgrades were welcome, as the venue was always better known for the big names it hosted than for the room itself, a big box, which jammed seated fans into folding chairs and put the versatility of its seating configurations ahead of comfort, aesthetics, or design. While leaving the biggest names (and highest ticket prices) to the Strip, The Theater has booked a steady flow of acts, including Widespread Panic, Sabrina Carpenter, and Mastodon.
