Punk Rock Bowling 2025 and more in Las Vegas by Ann Treacy

Three days at an outdoor music festival in Las Vegas over Memorial weekend is like visiting the inside of your oven. With the radio on. Actually, Punk Rock Bowling 2025 is amazing but during every day Langen, Jenny and I ask each other why we come.

Over 3 days, you can see up to 42 bands (I saw 35) on two stages between 1-11pm. There’s one water station, no building for reprieve but there is a tent for those who sunburn. Pabst Blue Ribbon is the drink of choice.

Between 8-10,000 people attend. I saw a few folks I knew from home and saw online that a few others were there too. It’s a lot of people but it’s a big space behind The 4 Queens on Fremont Street.

I wrote posts on each day for the Mostly MN Music blog:

Or you can see all of the videos:

But how was the rest of the weekend?

It’s very easy to travel with my friends Jenny and Langen. I’m always thankful that they invited me last year. Both enjoy gambling, so they help me play the various games after the festival. (Super bonus – casinos are airconditioned and the festival ground is not!) I had my ups and downs, but I never really fluctuate more than $40 in either way. They are more adventurous players.

In the morning, I walked up and down Fremont Street getting my steps. In three days, between walking and dancing, I logged in 42 miles, numerous selfies with LV oddities and saw a few random bands.
