Motley Crue in Las Vegas: it’s being billed as “the most notorious band in history takes on Sin City.”
The Crue become the first hard rock group to play a residency in Vgas as this level, as they take over The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino from February 3 – 19.
When the band first announced the event, Rolling Stone reported frontman Vince Neil promised "over-the-top craziness. This is Las Vegas. Vegas is based on big, big shows," Neil said. "This show we are putting together right now is something that we have never done in our lives. This is an interactive show we’re putting on – it’s going to encompass the whole venue, not just the stage that we’re standing on – a 40- by 60-foot stage. This is going to take over the whole place."
"We’ve gone through a lot of the big Vegas production shows and we all have talked about it many times going, 'God, could you imagine if we could only get our hands on this kind of an opportunity what we could do with it,'" added drummer Tommy Lee.
Now, a new commercial promoting the Crue’s experience in Vegas has been made available.
"I think we are a band that fits Las Vegas perfectly," says bassist Nikki Sixx in the clip. “We’ve always been about theatrics; we’ve always been about topping ourselves.”
