This is an event that is sure to draw fans from across the country, so in order to avoid disappointment, be sure to book your Vegas flights and make hotel reservations in advance as well as purchasing tickets for the concert.

Rod Stewart concerts are known for their energy and for a variety of music from the past several decades, and the Caesars Palace Colosseum is a terrific venue for his talents. After his shows in 2010, Stewart himself has said that he loves the venue—the Colosseum stage is low and allows the audience to get close to the performer, and as he is hoping for an up-close, friendly, small-venue-style show, this is the perfect place to be. Be sure to put Rod Stewart tickets on your list of things to get in 2011—seeing his show is likely to be one of the best things to do in Vegas this fall.
