MGM opening a $1B casino right outside DC w/ concert venue. Here's the first announcements, thoughts on this lineup? -- (edited)

The venue fits 3k people, so the stated goal was to steal bigger name arena acts for multiple nights at the Casino, granted, at a higher price. And to get the shows normally at the 1,800/3,000 person venues in a better music setting.

I have to say I'm impressed with the opening announcements. Yes, prices are expensive for certain shows, but they got pretty big names for a small venue. And they are certainly utilizing the MGM relationships.

Lionel Richie
Bruno Mars
Duran Duran (2 Nights)
Jim Gaffigan (4 Nights)
Kings of Leon
Sebastian Maniscalo (the only one where I have no idea who this is)
Panic! at the Disco
Joe Bonamassa
ZZ Top
Cher (12 Nights)

They also keep announcing more and more.

- I assume he must have had a Comedy Central special or something? -- nm - MDH Oct 26, 06:23 1
  - I think he has a couple of specials and I'm pretty sure one or two are on Netflix right now. I think he's rather funny. - Krusty Oct 26, 06:27
