Calgary casinos host an impressive range of rock and roll artists spanning multiple decades each year. Head to Deerfoot Casino if you're looking for classic rock, hair metal and Canadian hard rock. Bands such as Warrant, Great White, RATT and Nazareth pack Deerfoot's main stage each season. If electric blues is your thing, check out Elbow River Casino's Bayou Stage which hosts the hottest local and international blues bands. For a laid back, no frills rock and roll jam, don't miss Grey Eagle Casino's Pro Jam every Tuesday at the Stage Bar. Spurs Showroom at Casino ABS is another good place to watch out for local artists and tribute bands.
If you're in the mood for some old-fashioned, Vegas-style lounge acts, look no further than Calgary's casinos. Grey Eagle Casino hosts a few jazz and easy listening acts each month that will set the perfect mood to enjoy a cocktail and good conversation. Although Deerfoot Inn & Casino is better known for its big name rock performances, seasoned lounge veterans like Bobby Curtola and Ray Griff have been known to hit the stage. Check local listings for times and ticket prices.
For knee-slapping, edgy comedy, look no further than Elbow River Casino's Yuk Yuk Club. Here you'll find an assortment of local and national comedians and occasional international acts as well. Yuk Yuk hosts professional comedians and improv acts every weekend throughout the year and often books double headers. Yuk Yuk Club is also available for fundraisers, event parties and birthdays.
