This job is great for young ones in high school, but be careful. The best of both worlds.I was surprised to get hired here, seeing as I had no minimum experience in the restaurant industry other than cooking and baking in my own home. However, two large projection screens brought the action very close so you could see the overall stage as well as closeup. Our seats were in the Mezzanine and seemed miles away from the stage. Once inside the Colosseum the first impression was that this place was HUGE (It seats 5000 people). Not a hassle, just a slight inconvenience. Secondly, there was a lineup to enter the Colosseum (not the casino) because people were late arriving and one had to go through a security screening check, like at an airport. The first thing we noticed was that parking space, although free, was at a premium and unless you went early, may require some time to find a space. This was our first visit so we didn't know what to expect. In early August 2018 my wife and I visited the Colosseum to see David Foster in a concert which was rescheduled from April because of a strike at the Casino. Very poorly handled and ruined the end of what was a very nice experience up until that point. With so many people in front of me, I couldn't see much while standing from my second row seats.
When I paid huge money for second row seats, I really didn't appreciate being pushed out of the way so that hundreds of people from further back could bombard the stage area and literally take over our seats. Aside from the serious safety issue, this show was not advertised as having "pit"/"general admission" seating.
It took several people in the audience to pull her up with security no where to be found. I watched in fear as one girl was thrown to the ground in the chaos with some obnoxious guy fighting with her over a guitar pick that was thrown from the stage.
It was clear that was not the intent, but the security guy just looked around, shrugged his shoulders and moved out of their way with no effort whatsoever to stop them. The security staff just gave up and let them do it. The next thing you know, hundreds of people had moved their way up to the front of the stage. However, towards the end, the crowd from many rows back started approaching the stage. They did a great job all night at only allowing the front row go to the stage which is how it should be. My biggest complaint however, is that I feel that security really lost its handle on the crowd towards the last 20 minutes or so of the show. The area was just too tight for so many people. The same was true for the drink stations. There was one table for merchandise with lines that went on forever, so unfortunately, I passed, as I was not willing to stand in line for an hour. They had a merchandise table and several bar stations set up in a very small hallway leading into the venue. The setup outside of the entrance is so tight. I had second row center stage and the view could not have been better. Even though you may have front row in some of those sections, I wouldn't want it. The seating went on far beyond the stage. I would caution anyone sitting on the floor towards the ends. It was small enough to be intimate, but big enough to feel that you were at a rock concert (the Slash show was AMAZING by the way!).
