Tickets for the Earth, Wind, and Fire gig christening the new MGM Grand Ballroom start at $150. Start. Someday maybe I will see a show in here and be blown away by its intimacy and acoustics. Perhaps it is a regular Bourbon Tabernacle.
I suspect this concert is pitched toward affluent fiftysomethings who were waiting for a band like EWF to play in a venue with free lighted parking and just may stop off for some Canasta on the way out. This beats the country acts that graced the former MGMGD’s Stage Bar, but still… Victor and I saw EWF a few years ago in a park in Lansing for a fraction of this price.
But I guess that’s the way of the world.
