Battle Of The Bands Best Rock Band In Las Vegas What's In The Name?

 Yesterday and early this morning, 

I, along with a handful of local musicians and fans, had a discussion online about an upcoming event that is sponsoring a high-toned "Battle Of The Bands" contest. The discussion wasn't about the contest itself, but about the name of the contest. "The Best Rock Band In Las Vegas" 

The discussion arose over whether a contest can actually proclaim the best band in just one contest.

The contest is open to every band in the city. Bands send in their best audio MP3, or a music video of their band. Then they're judged, and the best audio or video is picked as the winner. Take it for what it is. It's not like the band has a bad day or something. All the bands are on an equal playing field. Send in your best and you're judged, Simple to enter for some really cool awards for who wins!

Here are my thoughts as a journalist ...

The best bands in Las Vegas stand out due to a combination of talent, professionalism, and entertainment value. Since Vegas is known for its high-energy and competitive music scene. Here are some of the key qualities that come to my mind that makes a band successful, or even the best band in the city (Las Vegas).
