I drove down to Dallas this past weekend and noticed the Winstar casino was bringing in ZZ Top, Reba McEntire, Willie Nelson, Flo Rida, Train, Alan Jackson and Robin Thicke all by March of next year.
The Grand Casino Hotel & resort is bringing in The Wanted.
The Joint @ The Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa is bringing in ZZ Top and Harry Connick Jr.

Note: I am not a big fan of any of the artists listed above but they are all pretty big named acts who can sell a lot of tickets.

So, my question is: do the casinos/tribes make money off of the concerts they bring in or is purely to lure tourists to come and stay at the hotels and spend money at the casinos?
