Summer Pool Parties

What is it about summer concerts? There is something magical about music under the stars even when the stars are inside, or meltingly hot, or dimmed by ambient light. Maybe there will come a time when Vegas will move to Winter Concert Series, but right now, there are musical options for all tastes, budgets and ages. So whip out your personal fan and enjoy a summer classic at one of the venues below.
