Route 91 Harvest Festival

This was a great event and I hope it comes back to Vegas with more artists. I like the foam party with separate DJ, that was fun. The water slide was cool and you got soaked on it! There are a few things I thought could be different. First, the wrist bands could have been thicker. I mean, for $200 we got tyvek wristbands- super thin and had to make sure it stayed on without damaging it for 3 days. At Circus Circus Adventure for $30 you get a plastic wrist band that you couldn't rip off if you wanted. Second, it was good that people could bring in lawn chairs but I think they should have only been allowed on the grass areas. Oh, and to the gentlemen working the Porta Pottys making sure the lines kept moving, THANK YOU! Overall, this was a great festival!

Headliners, Blake Shelton on Friday & Miranda Lambert on Saturday boring, predictable. Should have Dierks Bentley as a headliner instead. Jason Aldean energetic as always. Nice exposure for some newcomers, although having a second stage failed as only a handful of people even bothered to go for if they left their spot at the stage, they could not get back. Paid big $$$$ for VIP Harvest Lounge only to be so far away from the stage, I didn't even use it. What a rip-off !!!!!

The armbands were horrible... I got to sport a hard plastic UPC code all weekend and feared that it would fall off and I would not get back in the event :-( Tent in the middle blocked the view of the stage from many vantage points... especially from the Harvest Upgrade decks that you paid $150 extra for.... and special bar services and restrooms... not sure I ever benefitted from any of that :-( :-P :=( Other than that... MUSIC was amazing... every artist sounded BIG and FUN and WONDERFUL ! The SOUND was AMAZING !!!

The line up was stellar. I felt bad for the Next From Nashville bands though. I was highly irritated at the fact that there was only 1 ATM machine, and none of the concessions and only a few vendors took card. Nowhere was it mentioned that it would needed to have cash. I would have spent a lot more if cards were accepted.

The music was the best and I would give it 5 stars but the VIP upgrade was a joke. Drinks were way overpriced. The VIP advertised seating and there was but for only 30 people. This is why only 3 stars

Was extremely dissappointed in the vip area as the resttrooms were nicer and you had access to your own bar but lines were shorter in the general areas most of the time. The seating was extremely limited so you still had to stand up to see and the vip area was the farthest viewing area from the stage so all you really got to see was the video on the giant screens. Don't waste you money on Vip in future unless you know these issues were fixed.

Restroom situation stunk...they literally smelled awful every night of the event. You could smell them 100 yards away.

The venue set up was great for an inaugural event or any event for that matter. Can't wait to go again next year !

I was a huge fan of this new event. Better and more convenient than Stagecoach for me. I will definitely be back next year!

Unbelievably easy event to attend from the shuttles to and from the hotels/casinos, the accessibility to the tickets and will call, getting into the venue, the number of food/drinks booths, the volunteers to help guide you and answer questions, the people attending were well behaved...oh and the music was great. The sound was good and giant video screens helped when you wanted that close up view. Definitely will try and come again next year.

Less chaotic version of stagecoach with great acts

This was the best weekend ever! Saw a lot of amazing artists and the event was pretty well organized for being the first year! Can't wait to go again next year!!

1. Great line-up, but more big-name artists would improve the show even more. 2. Extremely well organized with easy entrance, exit and KEY...re-entry as any patron wished. 3. Reasonably priced food, and good selection of drinks and beer. 4. Great crowd, well-behaved and a super good weekend. 5. KEY - Great stage/sound system. Could easily hear the music with amazing clarity throughout the venue.

It was great! I will be attending next year!!!!!!!

My girl and I loved it!! Great 3 days of music!! Hope its a yearly event. We'll make it every time.

Amazing! It's the new Stagecoach!!! Totally coming back next year, and bringing more of my friends.

The lineup, the venue, the different vendors on site - there's not a single thing I didn't love about this weekend. I am a huge Stagecoach lover and have been the past 5 years and Route 91 definitely gave Stagecoach a run for it's money. The venue was spacious enough for a lot of people but you never felt too claustrophobic or like you couldn't move. The food was good, the beer selection was awesome the only one thing missing was Jack Daniels - how do you not have Jack D. available at a country concert?! I went with 3 girlfriends & we had an absolute blast - we'll definitely be back next year!!!

Can't even explain how much fun I had at this show! I am depressed now that it is over and I had to go back to reality. I will 100% be going every year from here on out! Best music, amazing people and memorable experiences! Wow is all I can say!!

Had a great time - all performers were amazing - will go next year Only draw back was the freakin hotels were outragesly high priced

Absolutely loved the small venue! Every seat was a good seat. The lack of lines was absolutely awesome! Everything well places, and good rules! (The gallon baggy of snacks was a life saver!) DJ was awesome!

I purchased the VIP Lounge and the biggest complaints would be that the stage was too far away for the amount of money that was spent on the tickets. Also, there was not near enough seating and tables. Both upper levels should have been full of tall tables and chairs. A few more restrooms would have been nice also but it wasn't a huge problem.

Can't wait for next year!! We had a blast and very impressed how the schedule was followed to almost perfection. Every performance started on the scheduled time. I would recommend this to anyone who loves country music

What a great event! We had so much fun. The event staff was so nice and everything was controlled very nicely. There was enough space and even enough bathrooms! Every artist was awesome and really put on a great show! We'll be back next year for sure!

This event was great and I will definitely be going next year. however, I do feel like a section needs to be put aside for the chairs.

We had an amazing time except for the fact we had our spots close to the stage since the doors had opened and once Brantley Gilbert came on people were pushing and rude moving chairs starting fights and just down right not polite! It was a bummer but expect it from the younger crowds since they are just all about themselves! We decided to stay for a song to get a couple pics then tried to make our way out of the mosh pit of rude people.

The VIP lounge was aweful. So far away from the stage, hardly any seating and HUGE lines for the ladies restrooms. It was a total rip off. The concert itself was amazing and we pushed our way almost to the front of the stage every night. Totally worth it.

I understand that this was the first year but there was major problems with this concert. The staff did not know where to direct people once they had their wristbands. There was no designated seating, which caused a mad rush to the front of the stage with each performance, while those already sitting there got trampled on.

I had so much fun at Route 91. The artists were amazing and the location on the strip was pretty incredible. Everyone there including the bands playing seemed to have the time of their life. The VIP areas looked amazing, which I might try and do next year. Only suggestion some of the food options were weird like sushi in the hot sun?? Also they didn't have Jack Daniels. What country concert doesn't provide Jack Daniels... Other than that is was a blast and I will be there next year!

Had a great time. Sound system was very good. Jason came on strong and got stronger. I preferred Miranda over Blake but Blake was very good too. Dierds Bently was outstanding. Brantly Gilbert just can't sing.

Will never buy VIP for harvest besties again very disappointed . I would think if you buy a VIP you should get very good seats But not at Harvest Fest I could have bo.ught general admission and had better seats. in all just very disappointed in the whole Harvest Fest experience I had bought tickets the very first day they went on sale at 10 a. M. and for my first festival like that very disappointed. the treatment from just getting your wristbands to entering the venue very disappointing. and I know from talking to a lot of other VIP members they were very disappointed to

Such a fun weekend filled with great performers!!!

Excellent event. Good sound system. Easy in and out!

This entire event was spectacular!! I intend on going again next year! The artists were great, the venue was great, and everyone on the staff was friendly!

Great time and great entertainment, it was nice to bring in the lawn chairs but there should have been areas that separated chairs vs standing room. The VIP PASSES were a joke. We bought 2 of them, could barely see the stage from the VIP area. Only 1 set of bathrooms, and very few 1st come 1st serve seating. The Nashville tent was awesome showcasing up and coming new artists. Overall experience was good just don't waste your money on the VIP section. I didn't talk to one person that was happy with the VIP experience.

Will definitely be back next year for Rt. 91 Harvest Festival -- everything was great -- the lineup, the venue, the staff, food and drink vendors. Been to a lot of concerts and festivals and this was one of the best. All of the people working there were friendly and helpful, venue was very clean, lots of tables, lots of alcohol stations so lines weren't long! And the music was awesome!!!!

AWESOME!! Casinos as back drop, perfect weather, outside

This event was totally awesome! The location was great, the artist all rocked!

The seating arrangement was horrific, there needed to be a designated seating areas so that you could get up and buy food use the restroom without loosing your seats. For those of us that arrived early when the gates open and were up front the latter crowed felt it was ok to shove there way up to the front. Any outdoor festivals I have been to in the past they have rows for and walk ways for people to get back and forth without tripping over everyone. There were no areas to throw trash. There were fights that broke out and do to people wing so jammed in security could not get into to take care of the matter. More people would have bought merchandise, food and beverage if you would not have to go threw the crowed the war it was. Food stands were not the best I don't know of many country people that eat Sushi and Indian food.

Great line up and tons of fun. My recommendation is to take the day after the three days off of work though because you will be exhausted from all the fun and great music!

Concert part was great! Alcohol was expensive and needed more porta potties.

As always, Blake put on a great show. He was the only artist I could really hear sing. All the others seemed to prefer to have the bass guitar and drums be louder than their voices. Such a shame when you go to hear the actual artist perform. But then if I sat back where my tickets where located, Harvest Lounge, I couldn't see or appreciate their performance. The upgrade was a total waste of money and misleading since I was told their would be chairs in the Lounge. NOT! And your own chairs were not allowed!

This festival was superb! For it being the first year for it, it was run very well. Every act opened at the time it was supposed to. The headliners were fantastic. All of them. I hope this continues yearly as we will be back.

We had a fabulous three days. The music was amazing for the most part. Neil McCoy was very entertaining and the best surprise of the weekend. Of course Blake and Miranda were awesome. I'm not really into the rap part of country so that was not my favorite. The venue was very pleasant and we were very glad to have the artificial turf to relax on. More toilets were needed during the break before the main event, but otherwise there was not a line. I would strongly recommend it for anyone who loves music.

It was a wonderful event. Lots of food & drinks, Great artists, ran on time, weather was perfect. Will definitely attend again.

This was such a great event and venue. We had a great time and all the acts were amazing.

My favorite performance of the entire festival was Dierks Bentley! Not sure how he wasn't a headliner/opener! His entire performance was awesome and the only disappoiintment was that he didn't play longer.

Love that there was AstroTurf and the seating was great! Will be back next year! Lost my wristband the first night and customer service was excellent about getting me another one!

Some of the performers did not have a good sound system so it made them sound terrible, and one in particular did not seem like she wanted to be there and was going through the motions.

Blake was my absolute favorite. He did an amazing job! All three days were unforgettable! I hope they have this next year. I will definitely be there!

Awesome festival! Cannot wait for next years! Only thing is, I wish that there was a designated area for fold up chairs. Trying to walk through a crowd of them was very difficult and hazardes.

It was amazing & definitely kept it country. All of the artists were down to earth & really enjoyed being there! I'm gonna make it a mission of mine to try & go every year!

First country concert ever and I had a blast! Hope to come back next year!

I loved that my children could come enjoy this event with me and have a good time! We had a blast!!

The line up was amazing and the venue was nice and organized. It was an easy walk from hotels and easy access. The venue was well organized and had many food and drink options. There could have been a little more seating and standing area near the stage. Overall fun weekend!

VIP area was really amazing. Every act on the main stage put on a good show. LOVED that it's more affordable than STAGECOACH WATER STATIONS WERE BRILLIANT CHARGING STATIONS SUPER USEFUL NEED FANS IN VIP AREA

My husband and I had the most amazing weekend at the festival. The performances were all Great! Can't wait til next year!!

Great lineup, awesome venue. Hope they make it an annual event!!

Come early to get the good front stage location. But the giant tv screens made it so it didn't matter at all. Great sound. Good artist selections. And the view of all the hot country girls was amazing!!!!

Excellent line up. Great attention to detail with pumpkins, hay and corn stalks. Great food vendors. Fun foam tent and water slide. Will go next year. Don't get the extra $150 VIP Harvest Lounge area because it's way in the back, view is obstructed by a lower seating roof and blocked by a tower. You can get a better view of the stage with general admission.

Dierks Bentley, Randy Houser, Tyler Farr, Sam Hunt, Dustin Lynch and Jason Aldean were phenomenal.

This event was great!! I recommend this event for everyone!! It was clean!! All the artists were great and on time!! The venue was perfect!! I will definitely go again!!

Great lineup, extremely well organized, amazing venue, and reasonable prices. Who could ask for more?! Hardly any lines to get in or at the vendors inside. One of the best festivals I've ever been to, especially for the inaugural event. Thank you!

ROUTE 91 HARVEST FESTIVAL IN LAS VEGAS WAS AN UNFORGETTABLE AND THE BEST FESTIVAL I HAVE EVER ATTENDED. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL MY FRIENDS AND ANYONE TO BE A PART OF THE NEXT ONE'S TO COME. FROM BLAKE SHELTON TO MIRANDA LAMBERT AND DIERKS BENTLEY, THEY ROCKED THE EVENT!!

EPIC event! Best concert event I have ever been to.

Overall, the concert was done well, several big name artists and several good lesser known artists. Plus, some artists from the show Nashville which are also pretty good and well worth seeing. Our only complaint was that it was a no seat type of standing room only arrangement, which was tough on us older people (really anyone over 30 :) Some places have chair rentals, which sounds silly, but after the 1st day you get pretty much tired of trying to stand or sit on the ground after 5 hours of music. Plus, there are the occasional drink jerks who push their way through people, step on you and otherwise never apologize or even acknowledge they did anything wrong. We have been to other concerts that have grassy areas and they do rent folding chairs for $5 bucks each. Which help people who don't know any better or just can't carry the chair half way through town on the monorail.

This was an awesome venue! My husband and I had the best time and it was our anniversary. THANK YOU to promoters for allowing chairs. We met people from New York, Canada and Southern California. No complaints at all!! Hope we can go again and they have it again :) This was not an actual assigned seating event. If you didn't bring a chair, you stood for the entire time. BUT if you read the info you saw chairs were allowed and brought.

This is the best country music festival we have ever been to. Despite the horror that took place this year, we hope they come back again next year. I believe it would be healing for so many. Great artists, great venue, already a great time.

There were a lot of people, but you could sit up your chairs in the back and was the artist on the large monitors. However, this year they are selling you a seat, BUT wait\u2026. There are no seats and in fact, they are saying you can t bring in ANY CHAIRS. So you will be standing on Concrete the entire shows, roughly 8 hours.

Great concert and experience. Looking forward to next year

This event was unforgettable. We will be back next year

Amazing night. Great music. Perfect ambiance! I enjoyed Blake and Dierks Bentlley the most. I would definitely go again next year.

The lineup is what drew me to this festival. I've never been to Stagecoach, and from what I've heard, this was SO much better! The crowds were manageable, the artists were phenomenal, drinks and music flowing all night long in the city of sin...not much can beat that. The HIGHLIGHTS were: Dierks shotgunning a beer with a lucky audience member, Miranda's ever present sass and girl power, Blake's mullet comeback, and Tyler Farr rolling with it when his sound went out. I love Jason Aldean but his holier-than-thou/don't-touch-me attitude onstage is starting to grate on my nerves. Seemed as though he's getting too big for his britches and has lost the ability to relate to fans from the stage. Dierks stole the show for me. He blew it out of the water, and I'm a bigger fan now than ever before. His love for country music, performing, the fans, and the appreciation for his blessings was palpable. DIERKS ROCKED. If anyone who puts these things together actually reads these reviews, my recommendations would be: have separate seating for lawn chairs. If you want to sit on your bum, do it out of the way of people who don't mind standing as a way to be closer to the artists. Offer meet and greet packages, from what I heard the VIP experience was a let down. I bought general admission tickets and after everything I've read, I'm glad I didn't spend the extra $150 for VIP passes. I appreciated the strong security and police presence, because we all know that drunks (especially young ones) can be unruly and annoying to the rest of us who can drink responsibly and are really enjoying the music and not just looking to slam beers and party. Wasn't thrilled with the DJ, either. Don't over do it with ticket sales, making it some huge and massive thing, because what people loved about it was the freshness, and the smaller environment. Although it was a festival, it still felt like an intimate concert experience with the artists. If you lose that, the festival will lose it's magic.

I purchased my ticket and VIP upgrade during presale, right at 10 AM. Excited to be going and have a place to get out of the sun, sit and see and hear the performers. But the lounge had an obstructed view so you could no see the performers. Also there was not enough seating. I did not use the VIP Lounge. Not worth the $128 I paid since I purchased in presale.. Came from Texas, so could not bring beach chairs. Other Than the VIP Upgrade-The Festival was Fabulous Recommend: Separate Section for beach chairs and blankets, more security and better job on training bartenders not to serve drunks. The performers were excellent and I will have a great memory of my trip.

The Route 91 Harvest Festival event was so great and I cannot wait until next year! It was very well managed and I truly enjoyed it. There was a large security presence including police, staff patrolling the area for trash and keeping the restrooms clean with all the necessary items available to patrons, there were plenty of food vendors and more than enough places to purchase alcohol. The decorations of hay bails and corn sprigs were a nice touch. Now onto the the line up.......it was AMAZING!! (I went to the ACM concert for a cause weekend event in April of this year near the Linq and although the line up of musicians was great the event facilities were awful. They had poor security and too little restroom facilities; you also had to purchase tickets in a long line for alcohol then wait in another long line to get the alcohol.....good thing the artists were great because otherwise I would have been very disappointed)

Had a great time can't wait till next year. Blake Shelton was amazing. Did the lounge upgrade and would do it again

Great event. Cant wait to do it again next year. Reserved seating would make it better.

We were excited to go see this event. We upgraded our wristbands to VIP. We went and it was so crowded that we left the first day and returned the second day. The second day was even more crowded. Bathroom lines were 40 minutes, nowhere to sit. We decided to leave and not return the third day. Total waste of money and time.

This 3 day concert was great! The line up was awsome. The porta-potties were always very clean. Great food . I look forward to this being a yearly event. I loved how it was not overly corwded like Stagecoach. PLEASE bring it back next year!

The show over all was good. The artist were great. the venue for a first time was good. there is lots of things that could be improve. Security, sitting (Yes there was some but for the people that pay more) It was general sitting The people that travel from far away couldn't bring chairs in. perhaps chair rentals. may be more activities inside the place. More screens that show the stage by the bars.

The event had a great line-up and was organized very well. Lines were not too long for food and beverages. The upgrade was well worth it although the lounge upgrade area was pretty far away from the stage.

The vip was a waste of money, I felt more like I was missing out, not getting any perks.. Idea was cool need better ideas.

All 3 days were amazing. Great set up for event. Cant wait for next year.

I enjoyed the inaugural route 91 festival. I would definitely do it differently next year if I decide to go. I've been to festivals before and being local helps. However, being from California, i flew to Vegas and was not able to bring my own chair or blankets. Next time I would drive. I really enjoyed not having a pit/VIP restricted area near the stage, it allowed people to rotate for the best view. I don't think the VIP upper deck area was worth the $150. The bathroom line was great but everything else did not seem worth the extra money. The view was obstructed and not enough seating was available. The bar lines outside the area had the same wait time as inside the VIP section. All wristbands should be fabric, the paper ones were subject to destruction in the shower and daily wear. Entry and exit was easy and quick. The after party club area played dance club music which seemed strange for the crowd they were trying to attract. Alcohol and food prices were alright. The pizza stand was a great deal. The waterslide seemed impractical unless you brought a change of clothes. Sound quality was great all around. The performers were pretty good, although I think some acts deserved the headliner spot more than others, for example Dierks Bentley was much better and more amped/inclusive than Miranda Lambert.

Music, venue, etc were excellent. Plenty of bars, food vendors and porta potties. My only complaint was the large amount of obnoxious drunks towards the end of each night. Us early arrivals set up camp by the stage and we were getting trampled at the end by mostly rude girls that had too much to drink.

Awesome, totally enjoyed the weekend. And lots of good bands

Great line up! It reminded me of stagecoach. But would never recommend buying VIP tickets. VIP area was $150 extra which promised better viewing, private bathrooms, and private drink stands. Seating was located the farthest back from the stage, bathroom lines were longer than general bathroom lines, bathrooms were closed off in the evening because the tanks were full, and the drinks stand lines were longer than general lines. We paid more money for worse circumstances. Minus VIP, the festival was amazing!

this was such a fun weekend concert and definitely worth my money

It was awesome! The venue was great. I loved it and had a great time.

What a GREAT weekend!!! Had the most amazing time!!! Liked how intimate it felt and the crowd appeared to be having a Blast right along with the artists!!! Made new friends and just completely enjoyed all the extra events that were available\u2026.water slide and foam pool. Will definitely be going back again and again.

Everything was amazing. Except DJ Silver was literally the worst DJ/hype man ever. He made it WORSE. Change nothing except getting rid of him and I'll go to the next one.

This was my first group country event and I could not have been more pleased. The artist were wonderful. The venue was great. The people working the event were pleasant. I will be back next year.

Some of the music was not country western. Not Good

Absolutely excellent open air concert. Glad it was in the fall instead of the middle of summer. It was hot enough as it was. All three days had some excellent musicians, great performances and there was plenty of food and drink. The only real downside and I am glad I did not do it, was the VIP seating. That rates a zero. It was in the middle of the venue with no shade and horrible view. I was upfront underneath a picnic table, had a great view and was getting joined by a bunch of people from the VIP section. Were they pissed. Some of them even had those Cabanas and were very unhappy with them. Waste of time and Money going VIP

Great event! Security was remarkably relaxed and the staff was awesome. There needs to be some significant improvement in crowd control, specifically in the management of the entry and exit rows ( there were none) This will become a huge problem as the festival grows. The drink lines were well managed, and there enough porta potties for all I would have been seriously disappointed if I purchased the so called VIP upgrade. Sitting in the sun on the roof of an outbuilding, at the far rear of the facility hardly constitutes a "VIP" experience.

We had a great time. The only thing I would say is that a beginning time of 330 makes for a very long evening unless you could fit all acts into a two day span. Sunday was a killer!! So many have kids and school, work the next day that it makes a Sunday big act like Jason Aldean very hard to attend. Loved the general admission idea and the venue was pretty good. Maybe a little more grass area and allowance for the standers and the sitters...

Amazing weekend with amazing music! We had a blast!!!

Awesome experience!!!! Great line up daily!!!! Hope to see it back next year!!

It was great to have so many artists at the same place. The line up could have been better matched. Randy Houser and Brantley Gilbert were good back to back but not a good fit for opening for Blake Shelton. Also Dierks Bentley took the stage before Miranda Lambert and that was not a good fit. Dierks Bentley should have been a headliner. He was a crowd favorite and put on an amazing show one song after another. He won the crowd. Then Miranda Lambert came on and didn't have the energy or performance quality that Dierks did. It's almost like we saw the main event already and it's was ok to go home during Miranda's show. Don't get me wrong, I like Miranda also. It just wasn't a good line up.

This was my second country music festival, Stagecoach, now Rt.91. This was way more my speed. Loved every minute of it!!!

Can't wait for next year. Great Setting ( on the strip). For me and my group we prefer a setting like this ( all amenities) as opposed to "Stagecoach"
