Fiji performs Saturday night at Sunset Station.

Fans will have plenty to do outside of the rugby at the USA 7s and Stations Casinos LVI Feb 9-12.

There are partiers, events and concerts throughout the weekend. Among the headliners is Pacific Island reggae artist Fiji at Sunset Station Casino Saturday night, while Ali Campbell performs at Planet Hollywood, also on Saturday.

Fiji is the stage name of George Veikoso, a Fijian-born Reggae performer who will be the main attraction in a night of music including J Boog, Na Drua, Trey Smoov, and Bonafide. Tickets are $25 pre-order.

Ali Campbell was the lead singer of UB40, which sold over 70 million records in its 30 years in music. Campbell performs with Common Kings, Spawnbreezie and B.E.T., and the concert is presented by the Paul Soliai Foundation, which is a non-profit dedicated to maximizing opportunities for American Samoa student athletes.

There’s the opening ceremonies at the Fremont Street Experience on Thursday night, followed by a block party, and then, starting at 11pm, the Rugby Party at the PBR Bar at Planet Hollywood.

On Friday, start the day with the Scrumble Golf Tournament at the Las Vegas National Golf Club (raising money for the US Rugby Football Foundation) and in the evening there’s an International Beer Festival at the Sunset Amphitheatre, and the LVI Kickoff Party at Sunset Station.
