As all of us are aware of the fact that Las Vegas is the hub of entertainment in the world. There are a lot of events and happenings in the city of which a new person is not aware of if he is visiting Las Vegas for the first time. So is it necessary to look for a good concierge service to get the updates and the transportation services in Vegas? If not then what is the second option to look for? All advices are welcome....

I am not exactly sure what you consider a concierge service and what events/happenings you refer too, but in general my first idea is no you do not. If you have some time to do your research you can figure out what's happening in Vegas during the time you go pretty easily.

This site is great for anything day/nightlife, Ticketmaster or LiveNation can always provide you with concert info. Vegas.com or the two sites mentioned by Philly can give you some good insights and you could even check-out the reviewjournal.com, which is LV's local newspaper. Also once you arrive you can always consult with your hotel's concierge if you have specific questions as to restaurants, tours or shows.

And if you have specific questions feel free to post them here in the different forums and we'll always try to help :-).
