Big & Rich to perform at Las Vegas benefit

Event organisers say the American country duo Big & Rich is returning to the Las Vegas stage this week for a concert to benefit people affected by the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.

Beasley Media Group, the owner of numerous local radio stations, announced on Monday it will join Boyd Gaming on Thursday in hosting Vegas Strong — A Night of Healing at Orleans Arena.

Profits from food and beverage sales are to go to those in need. All available tickets for the free concert have already been claimed.
