"The Grateful Dead in Las Vegas. Sounds like a punchline, right? Here’s a couple of interesting tidbits about the Dead in Sin City.
Their first show, way back in 1969, was at the Ice Palace. The band didn’t play Vegas again until 1981.
Upon their return, the Dead played the Aladdin Theater in 81, 83 and 84. The Dead didn’t play Vegas again until 1991."
