Binion's adds Protoje, Pearce, The Used

Binion’s Gambling Hall said Friday that three more free concerts have been added to the Downtown Rocks schedule in downtown Las Vegas. The new dates are Sept. 12 with Protoje, Sept. 26 with Carly Pearce and Lauren Alaina, and Oct. 10 with The Used, according to Binion’s post on X and the Fremont Street Experience concert calendar. Fremont Street Experience materials say the 2026 series runs from May through Oct. 10 under the canopy in downtown Las Vegas. ### Where do these shows fit in the existing Fremont Street schedule? The Fremont Street Experience calendar lists the added fall dates after a run of spring and summer shows that began May 15. The 2026 lineup already included Lee Brice, Crossfade and Trapt, Fuel, Finger Eleven, George Birge, Sleeping With Sirens, Mayday Parade and Story of the Year before the fall additions were publicized. (vegasexperience.com) May 13 coverage from FOX5 said Fremont Street Experience had added four acts to the series: The Used, Protoje, Lauren Alaina and Carly Pearce. Las Vegas Magazine’s event listing placed those artists on the same fall dates now being promoted by Binion’s, with Sept. 26 billed as Lauren Alaina and Carly Pearce and Oct. 10 listing The Used with Maggie Lindemann. (vegasexperience.com) ### Is Binion’s announcing different shows or promoting Fremont Street dates? Binion’s described the concerts as “added” to its Downtown Rocks lineup, but the dates align with the Fremont Street Experience’s wider concert series. The official Downtown Rocks page is hosted by Fremont Street Experience, and it promotes drink specials at Binion’s and other downtown properties on concert nights. (fox5vegas.com) Fremont Street Experience’s 2026 materials say the series spans three stages — Third Street, First Street and Main Street — and is free to attend. Separate event listings also describe the concerts as open to the public with no general-admission ticket required. ### What is notable about the three added dates? (vegasexperience.com) Sept. 12 brings Protoje, whom FOX5 described as a Grammy-nominated reggae artist. Sept. 26 pairs Carly Pearce, identified in local coverage as a Grammy Award-winning country artist, with country singer Lauren Alaina. Oct. 10 brings rock band The Used, with some listings also naming Maggie Lindemann on that date. (1079vgs.com) The dates also extend the concert calendar deeper into the fall. Review-Journal coverage last week said Fremont Street Experience had pushed the free series into autumn with acts including Protoje, Carly Pearce, Lauren Alaina and The Used. ### What else is attached to concert nights downtown? (fox5vegas.com) Fremont Street Experience said its new Fremont Party Pit will operate on select concert nights, including Sept. 26 and Oct. 10. Vegas24Seven reported the activations include chances to win VIP passes, SlotZilla zipline tickets, food and drink vouchers and merchandise. (neon.reviewjournal.com) The Downtown Rocks page also promotes bar specials tied to concert nights at Binion’s Whisky Licker Up Saloon, Four Queens’ Patio Bar and bars inside The Cal, Fremont Hotel and Main Street Station. ### Where should people watch for the next update? Fremont Street Experience said in its season announcement that more dates and artist announcements would be released in the coming weeks. (vegas24seven.com) The current posted schedule runs through Oct. 10, with Protoje on Sept. 12, Carly Pearce and Lauren Alaina on Sept. 26, and The Used on Oct. 10 on the official calendar.
