It is owned and operated by MGM Resorts International. The venue is located at the north end of the Strip, north of Circus Circus Las Vegas. It is {{convert|26|acre}} and has a capacity of 85,000 people.[2] HistoryFrom 1941 to the 1970s, the El Rancho Vegas occupied most of the land. In 2007, MGM Mirage (later MGM Resorts International) purchased the {{convert|26|acre|adj=on}} El Rancho site from Gordon Gaming for $444 million.[3] In 2014, MGM announced plans to develop the site as an outdoor music venue in partnership with Cirque du Soleil and Ron Burkle's Yucaipa Companies.[4] The project was primarily designed to serve as the site of Rock in Rio USA, a new biennial music festival. The venue was initially referred to as the City of Rock, named after its equivalent in Rio de Janeiro, the site of the original Brazilian version of the Rock in Rio festival. The name was soon changed to the MGM Resorts Festival Grounds.[5] MGM hoped to position the grounds as a site for festivals, concerts, and sporting events (such as boxing, mixed martial arts, and soccer) as a compliment to its other venues in the area.[6][7] The festival grounds made its debut in May 2015 with the Rock in Rio USA festival.[8] Development costs for the site totaled $20 million.[8] In October 2015, the MGM Resorts branding was dropped and the site was renamed to simply Las Vegas Festival Grounds. The renaming was part of an effort to downplay MGM's role in the venue to improve its marketability for third-party events, and to brand the site as being part of Las Vegas's "community".[9] EventsThe Rock in Rio USA music festival was held at the venue in May 2015, headlined by No Doubt, Metallica, Taylor Swift, and Bruno Mars. The festival was intended to be held biennially, but after disappointing ticket sales, plans for future editions of the event were quietly shelved.[10] In April 2016, the Las Vegas Festival Grounds hosted the ACM Party For a Cause Festival on the weekend preceding the Academy of Country Music Awards.[11][12] In 2018, the iHeartRadio Music Festival moved its Daytime Village stage to the Las Vegas Concert Grounds, moving from Las Vegas Village.[13] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Coordinated Plans Drives Strip Festival Grounds|publisher=Martin-Harris Construction|date=March 2015|url=https://www.martinharris.com/coordinated-plans-drives-strip-festival-grounds/|accessdate=2018-04-26}} {{Las Vegas Strip}}{{MGM Resorts International}}{{Coord|36.1424|-115.1603|type:landmark_region:US-NV|display=title}}{{Nevada-struct-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Las Vegas Festival Grounds|publisher=MGM Resorts International|url=https://www.mgmresorts.com/en/entertainment/las-vegas-festival-grounds.html|accessdate=2018-04-26}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=MGM buys parcels for new center|newspaper=Las Vegas Review-Journal|author=Howard Stutz|date=April 19, 2007|url=http://infoweb.newsbank.com/resources/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_dat=document_id%3Anews%252F1326EFD387F63D10&rft_id=info%3Asid%2Finfoweb.newsbank.com&rft_val_format=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Actx&svc_dat=AWNB&req_dat=1028A39C75C2B899|via=NewsBank}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Rock in Rio plans permanent venue on Las Vegas Strip|newspaper=Las Vegas Review-Journal|author=Jason Bracelin|date=April 22, 2014|url=https://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/music/rock-in-rio-plans-permanent-venue-on-las-vegas-strip/|accessdate=2018-04-26}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=As mass gatherings go, Las Vegas is the place to be|newspaper=Las Vegas Sun|author=John Katsilometes|date=September 27, 2014|url=https://lasvegassun.com/blogs/kats-report/2014/sep/27/mass-gatherings-go-vegas-place-be/|accessdate=2018-04-26}} 6. ^{{cite web |title=MGM Resorts, Cirque to build 33-acre, open-air venue to host Rock in Rio in Las Vegas |url=http://lasvegassun.com/vegasdeluxe/2014/apr/21/rock-rio-headed-las-vegas-mgm-resorts-cirque-build/ |work=Las Vegas Sun |accessdate=23 April 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web |title=Rock In Rio USA Teams With MGM, Cirque & Yucaipa Ahead of 2015 Debut |url=http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/touring/6062785/rock-in-rio-usa-teams-with-mgm-cirque-yucaipa-ahead-of-2015-debut |work=Billboard.biz |accessdate=23 April 2014}} 8. ^1 {{cite news|title=Rock in Rio leaves town, but turf will get more footwear|newspaper=Las Vegas Review-Journal|author=Mike Weatherford|date=May 16, 2015|url=https://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/entertainment-columns/mike-weatherford/rock-in-rio-leaves-town-but-turf-will-get-more-footwear/|accessdate=2018-04-26}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=No MGM Resorts: It’s now Las Vegas Village and Las Vegas Festival Grounds|url=http://lasvegassun.com/blogs/kats-report/2015/oct/01/mgm-resorts-to-renaming-las-vegas-village-las-vega/|website=Las Vegas Sun|accessdate=20 November 2015}} 10. ^{{cite news|title=MGM Resorts: No return of Rock in Rio to the Strip|newspaper=Las Vegas Review-Journal|author=John Katsilometes|date=November 7, 2016|url=https://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/entertainment-columns/kats/mgm-resorts-no-return-of-rock-in-rio-to-the-strip/|accessdate=2018-04-26}} 11. ^{{cite news|title=Strip Scribbles: ACM lineup expands, Super Bowl 50 chefs, Fetish & Fantasy Ball|url=http://lasvegassun.com/vegasdeluxe/2016/jan/27/strip-scribbles-acm-lineup-expands-super-bowl-chef/|accessdate=14 February 2016|work=Las Vegas Sun}} 12. ^{{cite news|title=Country music awards to return to Vegas with 3-day festival|url=http://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/music/country-music-awards-return-vegas-3-day-festival|accessdate=14 February 2016|work=Las Vegas Review-Journal}} 13. ^{{cite news|title=iHeartRadio ready to return outdoor festivals to the Strip|newspaper=Las Vegas Review-Journal|author=John Katsilometes|date=May 1, 2018|url=https://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/entertainment-columns/kats/iheartradio-ready-to-return-outdoor-festivals-to-the-strip/|accessdate=1 May 2018}} 5 : Buildings and structures in Winchester, Nevada|Festival venues in the United States|Las Vegas Strip|Music venues in the Las Vegas Valley|Sports venues in Las Vegas |
