Thunder Valley lands superstar to help launch new venue. Here are ticket and other details

Grammy-winning performer Bruno Mars will perform at Thunder Valley Casino, headlining the opening weekend of the Sacramento-area casino’s new entertainment center.

The casino in Lincoln on Saturday held its last concert at its temporary outdoor amphitheater, lighting up the sky with drones to announce that The Venue — as the new indoor center is called — will host Mars on Saturday, Feb. 18.

“For over 18 years, Thunder Valley has prided itself on providing award-winning entertainment, services, and accommodations, and opening The Venue is the pinnacle of our commitment to our guests,” said Dawn Clayton, general manager of Thunder Valley. “The Venue at Thunder Valley allows us to expand our entertainment footprint in a big way as we continue to position ourselves as the industry leader in Northern California.

“We are extremely excited to welcome you to The Venue at Thunder Valley for our extraordinary grand opening weekend in February.”

Bruno Mars accepts the award for record of the year for “24K Magic” at the 60th annual Grammy Awards on Jan. 28, 2018, in New York.
