Rock of Vegas 2012 at Fremont Street Experience!

Take a stroll down “Sentimental Street” and join the crowd at Fremont Street Experience during the ‘Rock of Vegas’ summer concert series with a free concert by Night Ranger, Friday, June 22 at 9 p.m. on the 3rd Street Stage. Throughout the weekend, visitors can also enjoy free entertainment on three stages as the 100-day ‘Rock of Vegas’ summer concert series takes over downtown through Labor Day Weekend.

Night Ranger

Night Ranger truly epitomizes the sound of the 80’s with their guitar-crunching, melodic brand of music and unparalleled talent, energy and creativity. Jack Blades, Brad Gillis and Kelly Keagy are responsible for penning some of the 80’s landmark hits for which this group is known.  Night Ranger has one of the most defining and immediately recognizable power ballads of all time in “Sister Christian”.  The similarly slowed tempos of “Sentimental Street” and “When You Close Your Eyes” contrast the guitar-driven radio juggernauts “(You Can Still) Rock in America” and “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me”.  Night Ranger’s contributions are featured in multiple entertainment realms, including the Broadway musical "Rock of Ages" and hit videogame series "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero." The band has also been recognized in such significant films and television shows as Boogie Nights and American Dad.
