After a long year of quarantine and uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic, Americans are slowly returning to concerts and sporting events this summer and early fall. This is an important re-opening, especially for Las Vegas, a city famed for its concerts and sporting events. While Covid-19 is still a risk associated with large crowds, events at large venues come with a unique set of risks and challenges. Most concert venues in Las Vegas have the capacity to entertain thousands of people. One of the most notable venues, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, can hold up to 17,000 people. Another venue, the T-Mobile arena, holds 20,000 people and the latest venue in the area, Allegiant Stadium home of the Raiders, up to 65,000. The more people at an event, the higher the risk for injury. [1]
While these larger events are not typically dangerous and are not something you should worry too much about, taking precautions is still recommended. The following are some things to keep in mind:
In addition to the above, please consult our Guide to Staying Safe at Concerts and Sporting Event Arenas.
What Happens If You are Injured
If you are injured seek immediate medical help. It is also important to know that venue owners are legally required to provide a safe environment for their customers and others at the event must be respectful and keep the event safe for everyone. If you have been hurt, you have the right to seek compensation from those who put you in danger. Being unexpectedly injured after trying to enjoy a fun event can have detrimental impacts on your physical and emotional health as well financially. If you are unsure about your situation and what rights you have, contact a personal injury lawyer in Nevada who can help you sort out your case.
