Tejano Finds a New Home in Las Vegas Through Veronica ‘La Consentida’ and Honey Dance

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Tejano and Conjunto music are gaining a stronger foothold in one of the world’s most recognizable entertainment destinations, thanks to the vision of Tejano artist Veronica “La Consentida” and her Honey Dance live music and dance experience.

Founded by Veronica to create a dedicated space for Tejano, Conjunto and Tex-Mex music in Las Vegas, the Honey Dance recently reached a significant milestone when the City of Las Vegas presented the organization with an official City Proclamation recognizing its contributions to promoting Tejano and Conjunto music and its positive cultural impact in Southern Nevada.

The proclamation marks the first City of Las Vegas proclamation issued in recognition of the Honey Dance and its mission to promote Tejano and Conjunto music, making it an important moment for the genres in a city known for its diverse and world-class entertainment scene.

For Veronica, the recognition is about more than celebrating the success of an event. It represents an opportunity to build something lasting for Tejano and Conjunto music in a market where the genres have historically lacked a sustained local presence.

“As you know, Las Vegas is known as the Entertainment Capital of the World, yet Tejano and Conjunto music have never had a sustained local presence in our community,” Veronica told Tejano Nation. “Now that I am a Tejano artist in the industry, I founded the Honey Dance with the vision of creating opportunities for artists, preserving our culture, and helping establish a year-round home for our music in Southern Nevada.”

Creating a Home for Tejano in Las Vegas

The Honey Dance was created out of a desire to bring artists, musicians, dancers and fans together while celebrating the traditions and cultural roots of Tejano and Conjunto music.

What began as a single event has developed into a growing initiative focused on creating new performance opportunities and introducing the music to audiences throughout Southern Nevada.

The effort comes at a time when Tejano music continues to find opportunities outside of its traditional strongholds in Texas and the Southwest. For Veronica, Las Vegas represents both a challenge and an opportunity to expand the genre’s reach.

Since its launch, Honey Dance events have provided a platform for performers and musicians while giving fans a place to connect through live music and dancing.

Veronica hopes that continued growth will help establish Las Vegas as a destination for Tejano and Conjunto fans and artists from across the country.

“I believe this recognition represents more than a milestone for the Honey Dance—it reflects the continued growth of Tejano music into new markets and demonstrates that our music and culture continue to create opportunities and reach new audiences,” she said.

Looking Toward 2027

The Honey Dance is already looking beyond its Las Vegas events.

The organization plans to expand into other cities while building toward the inaugural Honey Dance™ Tex-Mex Music Fest in 2027.

The long-term vision is ambitious: establish Las Vegas as a place where Tejano and Conjunto music can be celebrated year-round while creating additional opportunities for artists from across the country.

For Veronica, that growth is about preserving the music while ensuring it has a future in communities where it has not traditionally had a permanent home.

“My hope is that this story not only highlights the Honey Dance, but also shines a light on the continued expansion of Tejano and Conjunto music into cities where the genre has historically had little representation,” Veronica said. “I hope it encourages others to continue opening doors for our music and culture across the country.”

The City of Las Vegas proclamation provides an important early chapter in that effort.

As Honey Dance continues to grow, Veronica “La Consentida” is betting that the same music that has connected generations of Tejano and Conjunto fans can also build new communities far beyond its traditional borders.

And in the Entertainment Capital of the World, she is working to make sure Tejano and Conjunto have a place on the stage.
