Were he to return, how much would you pay to see Snoop Dogg at the Clearwater River Casino? It’s a short drive for most folks within the Inland 360 readership area. And, lest anyone want to quibble, Post Malone did come to UI in 2017, but I’m considering him a pop artist whose style includes hip-hop. 29, the casino plays host to 2 Chainz, by far the biggest hip-hop artist to come through the area since Snoop Dogg rolled through WSU for Springfest in 2014 and Macklemore played a sold out show at the University of Idaho’s Kibbie Dome in 2013 on the heels of “Thrift Shop’s” surprise cultural explosion.
I’ve not attended them, but it’s heartening to see something new on the concert lineup. The casino has attracted a few hip-hop shows in recent years. No extra costs associated with travel are required, unless I choose to get dinner and beverages and make an evening of the concert. The shows are affordable and, at the risk of showing my age, I’m home at a reasonable hour. Even the “cheap seats” offer a great view. He casino’s event center: Gin Blossoms (a “why not?” nostalgia trip with friends), Cheech and Chong (a “why are these cultural legends in my backyard?” date night), a David Bowie tribute (because I’ll never get to see Bowie) and Cheap Trick (workhorse legends of rock ’n’ roll).Įvery trip to the casino for a show was enjoyable.
