The House of Blues in Las Vegas opened in 1999 inside the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Resort on Las Vegas Blvd. This venue features an open air balcony, and is home to over 300 pieces of original folk art and 50,000 bottle caps incorporated into Mr. Imagination’s mural decorating the entrance. A beautiful chandelier from the ballroom of the old MGM hangs above the crowd during every show. In keeping with tradition, the House of Blues Las Vegas displays the "Crazy Quilt" and keeps a metal box of mud from the Delta Mississippi underneath its stage.
