Route 91 was the original road into Las Vegas. The Vegas Golden Knights are also hoping it can be a path to healing.
Keith Dotson, manager of Festivals and Outdoor Events for MGM Resorts International, is on the team which plans and operates the Route 91 country music festival.
Dotson was on site during the shootings which killed 58 people and wounded close to 500. He will walk on to the ice Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena supported by his teammates and sing the opening words to the national anthem. Dotson will ask the entire arena to join him in song.
"It's going to be very heightened emotionally of course due to the situation," said Dotson. "Being in entertainment so long, you always know that the show must go on. So, I feel honored that I get to do it and I'm glad that my team will be backing me up. That's one of the biggest things about it."
