Not to large sound was great, and Willy was there, you can never go wrong with Willy, he had been ill the past week , but he's tough and came anyway, he's voice I as strong as it was 30 years ago. Seats are quite close, but other than that venue is great
Was there for the Skynyrd concert and have to agree with many of reviewers about the seats and the venue. No doubt that the seating was like asking an adult to sit at a grade school desk. Thank goodness it was a Skynyrd concert as we were more comfortable standing the entire time. Only problem with that was we had to still fight for standing position. The place is so small that they had to cram in the booth for selling shirts and also for the beer stand. Our seats were off the side, nine rows from the stage which was fine. You definitely wouldn't want to be any further back or you all you would be doing is listening to the music while watching the back of people's head while fighting for position. Best advice is spend extra for the best seats and get there early.
My wife and I, along with another couple went to see Buddy Guy at the E Center in Laughlin On April 6, 2013. Buddy Guy was amazing. The guy can still tear it up on guitar at 76 years young.The concert was at the new E Center at the Edgewater Hotel and Casino. The other reviews are correct. The seating is horrendous. The banquet style chairs are locked together so they can't be moved. You have less room than flying in coach on Southwest Airlines. My wife was seated next to 2 larger gentlemen and when she got to her seat, the guy next to hear was taking up his seat and half of her seat. Because of this she then had to move half onto my seat and so on down the row. I have been less cramped in the mosh pit at a Cult concert.We paid extra for good seats in the center section. We were in the center section 11 rows from the stage. We could see everything really well and Buddy came down into the crowd and played in the aisle right next to our seats. But I am not sure how the people in the middle and back of the arena could have seen anything. The floor is not sloped or terraced like a theater and towards the back it must have been very difficult to see the stage.If you plan on going to see a concert at the E Center, make sure you get center section tickets in the first 10-15 rows.
CROWDED! The most uncomfortable seats EVER! For the price of the "blue" section seating it was very OVERPRICED. $90.00 + $5.00 service charge per ticket. Most of the show you had to watch on a big screen monitor. Row G Section 1 has limited view of the stage. Comfort was a big factor. You were practically sitting on the person next to you. Definitely the center section if I were to go here again. The show was very good. Security was overpowering...looked like thugs with a badge and handcuffs roaming around...distracting to the show! Ushers had little clue as to where specific seating was. I said, hey man, can you tell me where my seats are...looks at tickets...points and says over there somewhere, look for the seat numbers! Safety is something to look at: Wheelchairs and walkers all along the tent walls...in and out access crowded and difficult with so many people. Had someone yelled fire or other at the end of the show departing...mass panic for sure and no real safe place to go. Fire marshall must have gotten paid well. Overall...this is Laughlin...it is what it is. Overpriced. My average rating is pushing the threshold. Would I go again...yes, for the right show.
I also saw Terry Fator at the E Center. I am not going to disagree with the seating complains here but.... I read the reviews first and decided to go with $30 seat in case we were unhappy. The casino seating for events at home are not any different so know how it was. It is just luck of the draw who you sit next to. We were lucky with the seats by us. That said...The view was what I expected for $30, we watched the screens. The drink prices I thought were good. Didn't overcharge for water. My concern before going was really the heat. For being over 110 outside it was very comfortable inside which was a pleasant surprise. Would I go there again? Yes, I am more disappointed if I have to sit next to the drunk.
I have been to a few concerts at the E Center and i did not enjoy myself .I had flashbacks to when i was a kid at the circus.I much prefer the Laughlin Event center for concerts.
The show started at 8 pm. Terry Fator did a fantastic show and was really great. The venue was the issue. The chairs are std buffet chairs held in rows by Zip Ties. The tickets for the show cost $85 each for my wife and myself. The chairs were not real comfortable but tolerable for a couple hours. What was the issue was that the seat next to me was occupied by a 350 pound woman. What this actually meant was that I effectually did not have a seat. She flowed into my lap and onto my chest. I was half covered by her flowing fat ! I spoke with the ushers at the venue before the show started and they said they couldn't /wouldn't refund my money. They went to my seat the the woman had taken her seat and mine and she was told the couldn't use my seat which was ridiculiously unhelpful as she easily filled both seats. Hell, her biceps were bigger than my thighs ! In any event the staff was useless and would not rectify the situation and wouldn't issue a refund. I would not recommend this venue nor will I ever go to this venue.
We had tickets to the Holiday Show here at the Edgewater and was a bit surprised when we sat down and were "crunched" in between all the other people. They really have a high density seating set up here which did distract from the show and affected our comfort level.I probably won't go here again for a show like this, rock concert would probably be ok because you are usually standing most of the time.
The E Center at the Edgewater casino in Laughlin is "The Place" to see a concert! We have been in that town on many occasions and have been there to se a lot of our favorite bands and acts. Until recently all of those shows were in dank showrooms (called a show room, but actually dank pits) or outside where it is just miserably hot, sticky or plain freezing! The E center is indoors, climate controlled, huge inside but not too large. The band we saw most recently was Travis Tritt, the show was awesome! Sound was clear and had some real power behind it without it just being loud. We have seen Charlie Daniels outside in the heat next door and it seemed really loud but the quality just wasn't there (we couldn't understand the words at all). I just wanted to say that the lighting, and sound in the E center was just fabulous! They have large video screens that show the band in real time as well, I assume in case you end up in the cheap seats... Why do that? When we go pay for a band, we want the best seats we can get!
WOW is the only word to use. 2500 seats and there was not an empty seat. Ms. McBride sang her heart out and it was wonderful. Beverages for sale were inside the E Center. A little chilly for my wife and we went back to the room to get a light sweater for her but that was way better than being to warm. Acustics were very good. We will be back when we can.
