What’s so great about being an early bird?

Mostly, it just gets you a beak full of worms.

But, alas, there are other, more savory benefits, namely, discounted tickets to one of Vegas’ biggest music attractions.

The Life Is Beautiful food, music and arts festival has announced that early bird tickets for this year’s event, which takes place Oct. 24-26, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday.

The three-day passes are priced at $159.50, with a limited amount being available at www.lifeisbeautiful.com.

Life Is Beautiful made its debut last year, drawing tens of thousands of fans a day for gourmet eats and well-received sets by such big names as The Killers, Kings of Leon, Imagine Dragons and Vampire Weekend.

No word yet on who will be performing at this year’s fest.
