Raiding the Rock Vault: Setlist, Cast & Groupon Discounted Tickets

Last Updated on August 1, 2019

With influencers like The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, and Bon Jovi, Raiding the Rock Vault is sure to be a massive hit with rock ’n’ roll fans of all ages. The band not only ranks as the number one performance in Las Vegas with TripAdvisor, but it has also won the “Best Musical” readers’ choice (2014 and 2015) and “Best Tribute Show” awards in The Best of Last Vegas 4 yeas running. The show is more than just a concert, it tells the history and story of classic rock, and includes some of the legends themselves.  

This show is one of the best you’ll see in Vegas. In fact, many fans say they’ve seen the show as many as six times or more! The musicians are talented, and the production is phenomenal as well. The show is full of energy, and you’ll be standing up and singing along to songs you know by heart before you know it.

One good feature of the show is the info screen showing the song name, band, and a short backstory of the song to give you context on the times. The performers are blocking the screen though so you may not be able to read it all.

The only issue I had with the show was the young dancing girls that were obviously young enough to be some of these guys’ granddaughters. The show just didn’t need it, but this is Vegas, so I guess its to be expected.
