For a July 7:00 PM show at Veil Pavilion at Silverton Casino, the sun sits 10° up in the west at the start, so shade means getting under the grandstand roof or the deck above you. Sunset is 7:57 PM local, so an evening show gets real shade as the sun drops. By 7:05 PM the sun is only 9° up in the west, 53 minutes from setting.

Sun & sunset check for Veil Pavilion at Silverton Casino · Satellite shadow view
Las Vegas in high summer is the clearest case there is for caring about shade, and Veil Pavilion at Silverton Casino is an open-roofed venue with no built cover to lean on. The saving grace is the clock: the sun sets around 7:57 PM, so a 7 PM show starts with the sun almost gone.
By showtime the July sun sits only about 9 degrees above the horizon, low in the west-northwest near 290 degrees. That means the fierce overhead heat of a Vegas afternoon has already broken, but the glare has not, a sun this low shines straight across the ground and into the eyes of anyone facing west. Within the first half hour it slips below the skyline and the problem solves itself.
We have not yet verified which way the stage and seating at Veil Pavilion face, so we can't name the rows that clear first. The dependable part is the sun's track and the calendar: arrive for the opener and you may want sunglasses; stay for the main set and you are in full shadow. Desert evenings cool once the sun is down, but the pavilion is open to the sky, so bring water for the early going.
Since the layout is unmapped, let the satellite view stand in for a seat chart. Open the interactive shade map, set your date and start time, and watch where any shadow reaches across the grounds. For a summer show in Las Vegas, the encore is always the shadier half.
