Route 91 Harvest festival is a country music festival in the United States that is held annually in Paradise, Nevada. It has been held every year since 2014 in the Las Vegas Village, a 15-acre (6.1 ha) lot on Las Vegas Boulevard, formerly U.S. Route 91, directly across from the Luxor Las Vegas hotel and casino and diagonally across from the Mandalay Bay resort and casino. The festival's promoters are Live Nation Entertainment and MGM Resorts International.
Route 91 Harvest was the scene of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, the deadliest mass shooting by an individual in U.S. history. The shooting began as singer Jason Aldean finished his sixth song on the final day of the festival and ended with gunman Stephen Paddock's suicide. At the time, the event was attended by approximately 22,000 people.
