As the sun set on Las Vegas, the show began. Behind the speakers was the same view of the strip which is in the plans for the 65,000-seat domed stadium for which the groundbreaking ceremony was taking place.

Celebrities on hand included Carlos Santana, longtime Vegas icon Wayne Newton, and Howie D and Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys.

Raiders legends Howie Long, Jim Plunkett, Tom Flores, and Ray Guy were also in attendance.

The one-hour show opened with Judith Hill and the Las Vegas House of Blues Gospel Choir performing ‘Rise up’ in tribute of those lives lost in the Las Vegas shooting a little over a month ago on October 1.
