During a Henderson vacation with my two opinionated teenagers, we were thrilled to find out that Billie Eilish was performing. Finding a concert the three of us could agree on was an unexpected surprise!
While the main action takes place inside, Toshiba Park, directly outside the arena, is flashy and action-packed. The surrounding neighborhood has many entertainment options and restaurants to explore. Plan on giving yourself an extra hour or two before your event to get food, enjoy the ambiance outside, and get settled into your seats.
