Worried about arriving late and not finding the perfect seat? Tickets are all numbered, so you can rest assured yours will be empty and patiently awaiting your arrival. Feel free to bring cushions for your comfort, though be warned: you may wind up dancing more than sitting! Please note, Harveys event staff are wonderful and extremely attentive. Please keep your ticket handy as they are very diligent in ensuring all guests are in their proper section.

As the arena is outdoors, Harveys encourages guests to check the weather and dress appropriately. Layering is always helpful. Events go on in rain or shine. Refunds will not be given due to weather.

Portable bathrooms are available during the event. There are separate sections for women and men. Each system has a hand washing and drying section.

Food and beverage tents accept credit and debit cards, while mobile vendors accept only cash. Please be prepared with both.

Smoking is allowed, though guests are encouraged to take into consideration those around them.

About Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena

Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harvey’s (once known as Harveys Outdoor Amphitheater) is a massive temporary outdoor concert venue located in Stateline, Nevada. It can be found near scenic Lake Tahoe and is currently on the grounds of Harveys Lake Tahoe in the south parking lot behind the parking garage. At one time, the venue was held on the lawn before expansion of services pushed it to be moved to its current location for more guest space.

When the venue first opened on July 7, 1992, it held an inaugural show by the Gipsy Kings. Since then, and especially after the 2005 move and renovation, it was known for hosting some of the most thrilling concerts, live shows, and performances especially during its Summer Concert Series.

But these shows aren’t all concerts as the venue has hosted outdoor comedy performances by big name comedians of past and present including Bill Cosby, Dennis Miller, and Robin Williams.

Currently, the venue owes its grandeur to its owner, CAesars Entertainment, who is best known for hosting fantastic gaming, hospitality, and recreation experiences around the world. And it is operated by Another Planet Entertainment.
