We wandered around for 20 minutes looking for the Event Center and box office, tried to use the computerized map but it didn't work. I would give management a suggestion - they need more signage, or maybe a better hand held map to look at. I know it is a bad habit, but I saw a lot of people looking for an indoor smoking area. I did notice that they a smoking area in the casino, but I am not a gambler. I have been to Vegas several times in the past (long time ago) so I am not sure if they allow smoking any more, however, I was very surprised that I had to go outside to smoke at Turning Stone. The band was really good and played the kind of music we liked - none of that hip hop, etc. After the show we made our way to the Turquoise Tiger, which I found to be a great bar with a small game room. Service was fast and the drink prices were reasonable. The bar area was packed and we had to squeeze in where we could to get a drink. We were told that the wait for a table would be two hours.

Before the show we stopped by the Upstate Tavern, thinking we could get a bite to eat and a cocktail. There is a concession stand in the Center with the usual food offerings and beer, plus they had mixed drinks, which surprised me. The seats were awesome though - were only a large aisle away from the floor seats in the third row.

Our seats were in Section 21, which we had trouble finding because it wasn't clearly marked like the other sections. A lot of people were standing up, which is normal, but anyone sitting behind these people couldn't see. Floor seats looked okay but I could tell that those seats would not be for me, even though they were closer to the stage. The Show was fantastic and I thought the Event Center had great acoustics and seating was the best I have seen in a long time. It was my first 'adventure' at the Turning Stone. I went with 2 friends to see a concert at the Event Center.
