-On 28 July 1995, the punk rock group [[Circle Jerks]] were to perform at the theater. Several hours before they were to arrive, the roof of the theater collapsed. There were no serious injuries. [http://www.lasvegascitylife.com/articles/2002/10/09/export1724.txt] Lead singer Keith Morris would later comment, "As soon as we got there, we were told that the roof had collapsed and the show was canceled. We didn't have anywhere else to go, so we just set up our equipment in the parking lot and played for the 30 or 40 people who were still there."
