After driving into town and checking into our hotel room, we decided to relax a little bit before dinner and the concert. It was nice to just lay around for a little while. Then we freshened up and we were off for a night of fun!!
We drove over to the casino that was holding the concert and walked around some. We decided to go to the Hard Rock for dinner. It was yummy! (I've been to so many Hard Rocks in Europe that it's always kinda weird to eat at one in the U.S. Just feels different somehow.)
After dinner we went over to the concert and checked everything out. We were surprised to not see any booths to buy memorabilia but we were ok with saving our money too. :) We hung out next to the stands for awhile before heading up to our seats. Since the arena was so small, we weren't so very far away even though we were in the back. It was awesome!
First up was Chris Young ... he sounded great!
Then it was Kelly Pickler's turn. She had a really fun set. We liked it.
Then it was time for RASCAL FLATTS!!!!!! I could hardly contain myself, I was so excited!! They were so amazing. The set started with their first album and went through to their current one. They sang a few songs from each. We even got to hear one of the songs from the album they hadn't released yet. It was such a great show. John really liked it too. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!!
Here is some (bad!) video of Bless This Broken Road:

After the show we saw that they had finally set up a memorabilia booth, so I had to buy something of course! Then we got to spend some quality time in the car trying to get out of the parking structure. It was packed!
We had such a great day and were excited to explore Lake Tahoe the next.
