August 2010 Vegas Headliners
This month is a strong comedy month with a large number of acts coming to town including Jay Leno, David Spade, Weird Al, and a host of rising comics. However, sporting events are unusually light with just a few MMA events and Mexican wrestling.
Recurring headliners Santana, Barry Manilow are on the schedule but only late in the month. Cheap Trick's Sgt. Pepper runs into mid-month. The nostalgia music section is very large with a number of 70's and 80's stars such as ZZ Top, Scorpions, and Billy Idol rocking into Vegas. Overall, August 2010 is about an average month for Vegas.

Here are the acts arranged by type of shows. Note that some acts are grouped by era of popularity so a nostalgia concert goer has an easier time of sifting through the concerts. We think VegasMadeEasy.com is the only Vegas site that tries to classify acts to this level.
