Details

Las Vegas, Nevada, is known worldwide for its bright lights and electric energy, but just off the bustling Strip, 1923 Live offers a different kind of escape with the Docksiders Yacht Rock Experience. This unique adventure places you aboard a classic-style yacht, skimming the calm waters near Las Vegas while smooth, laid-back yacht rock tunes set the backdrop. It’s a refreshing blend of live music and an intimate boating atmosphere, an unexpected retreat in a desert city renowned more for casinos than watercraft.

The Docksiders Yacht Rock Experience stands out as a one-of-a-kind offering in Las Vegas’s entertainment scene. Unlike the dry desert landscape sprawled beyond the city, this trip simulates a lakeside or coastal vibe right by the vibrant city limits. Guests can relax on deck with a cocktail in hand, soaking up the rhythm of hits from the '70s and '80s classic rock era. The relaxed pace contrasts sharply with Vegas’s usual hustle, perfect for those wanting a different kind of night out.

While the Colorado River and Lake Mead provide the nearby aquatic setting, the experience itself is firmly tied to a live music venue’s energy, blending outdoor adventure with a social, sensory escape. The crisp desert air, panoramic views of the city skyline, and the subtle splash of water under the hull come together to create a distinct ambiance.

1923 Live curates this blend of music and yacht sailing with precision, making it more than just a boat trip—it’s a sensory retreat and a memorable way to experience Las Vegas beyond the casinos. Whether you’re a local or a traveler, this adventure offers a fresh way to connect with the city’s outdoor and entertainment culture that few expect to find here.
