Good entertainment beyond the bright lights of casinos is not that hard to find in Sin City after all. The Clark County Government Center, located in the metropolitan area of Las Vegas, sports a spacious amphitheater that sits pretty amid rolling greens and historic-looking, sandstone structures. Host to a gamut of concerts, shows and performances from rock to classical music and jazz to symphonies, the arena is a lovely spot to catch some cultural action. The complex is a favorite among touring bands, who look to gather a fan following. The Nevada Chamber Symphony's 'Jazz in the Park' concert series is an annual fixture here, between May and October. Stroll out into the lawns for a break or a family picnic, after a vibrant session within the 2500-seat arena. Its amenities are topped off with an option of bringing in your own drinks, and the tickets are priced as low as five bucks apiece.
