Guns N’ Roses kicked off their first-ever Las Vegas residency Wednesday night at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
The band’s “Appetite For Democracy” show sees GNR play the biggest hits from their debut album, “Appetite For Destruction” (1987) through to 2008’s “Chinese Democracy.”
GNR will play a total of 12 shows between October 31 and November 24.
The band continue to court controversy: less than a day after Las Vegas officials renamed a street in honor of GNR’s residency, a local commissioner said she regrets the decision.
Clark County commissioner Mary Beth Scow, who represented the county at Monday’s ceremony, said she regrets the commission’s move to temporarily rename Paradise Road to Paradise City Road to promote GNR concerts because an ad for the iconic group’s concerts depicts what appears to be a sexually assaulted woman beneath the “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign.
