Tickets went on sale today for a May 8 concert in Las Vegas featuring Pitbull, the 28-year-old Cuban-American rapper who headlines the soundtrack for the movie "Fast & Furious."
Tickets are $59 for the 10 p.m. May 8 show at ND's The Club, at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino, 3700 West Flamingo Road. They can be purchased online at www.riolasvegas.com or by calling (702) 777-7776.
This will be Pitbull’s first performance in Las Vegas in more than a year.
Pitbull, whose first album, M.I.A.M.I. (Money Is a Major Issue) is certified gold, will be performing some of his chart-topping hits, including "Ay Chico" and his current single "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)."
Carnival lasts all year at the Rio. With a float occasionally passing overhead and dropping beads while feathered dancers fire up the gamblers below, the Rio tries to keep its 120,000-square foot casino jumping with excitement. Special Brazilian mixed-drinks are also served throughout the casino. The hotel suites tend to be larger than similar priced rooms on the Strip and many offer excellent views with floor to ceiling windows.
The Rio offers some quality shows like "Penn & Teller" and "Chippendales." Many come to the Rio for the nightlife at the VooDoo Lounge, located on the 51st floor, or McFadden's Irish Pub on the casino level.
Others come for a bit relaxation at the Rio Spa or pool area and still others come to shop at the hotel's 60,000 square feet of shops. In each of these endeavors, the Rio attempts to make the experience a bit more fun and spontaneous.
The Rio also offers guests a variety of dining choices from all-American food at the All-American Bar & Grille to Gaylord India Restaurant for something a little spicier and even Carnival World Buffet for the indecisive.
