SPLITBREED performed at the Joint on July 4th. Security was friendly and helpful. Staff was great but the place was understaffed for the event. Nice green rooms as well. By far the best venue in vegas, and we have played in most major hotels!

This place is great to see music at. Â I have seen Them Crooked Vultures and Santana here. Â This place is okay for boxing, which I have seen here countless times over the last four years, and it is horrid for MMA.
I have been to three MMA events at the Joint; none of them started on time. Â Instead of posting when the event would start, they just had you stand in line. Â Which is really dumb because if I knew I had an hour or two to kill, I would go find a bar, or gamble, or find someway to spend money in the casino.
I really like the offerings at the bar; I wish they had a better food selection though.
I prefer seeing boxing at MGM, MB, or a Stations casino, but this place is built for music and is a great place to see music.
i was impressed with the Joint. My first time at this venue was to see a PaRaMoRe concert. I really like the layout. I'm very short and have always had issues at concerts when it came to getting a great view. But that wasn't the issue. It's large enough to hold a good crowd of people but small enough for the concert to be more on the intimate side.
Review Source:One of the best venues and music bang for your buck! Â For $72 we saw Ice Cube, LLCoolJ, Dela Soul and Public Enemy. Â We were able to get close enough to reach out and touch them! Â Well...if we could get passed the bouncers!
We proceeded to get right in front of the stage while LLCoolJ was rapping. Â Â General Admission was $72 (standing room only) Tables are $100 and VIP is $200. Â I recommended General Admission if you want to be up close and personal with the artist. Â All in all an excellent deal. Â Plenty of elbow room for dancing. Â I recommended comfortable shoes and not heels ladies...
The drinks were pricey, but my best advice is to drink before you arrive. Â Would I see another concert here? YES!
Would I get their in time for the opening act second time around? YES!
Would I see the #KOTMT again? Hell ya!
Unfortunately we missed the 2 opening acts, Dela Soul and Public Enemy. Â However LLCoolJ and Ice Cube, rocked the bells!
This was my first time at The Joint and I had a great experience. I ended up with two tickets for the Prince late show on April 27 on accident, but the venue was very accommodating in help me switch one of the tickets to the early show( neither show was sold out) through Ticketmaster (who were giving me a ridiculously hard time). It was an intimate venue and there really is no bad seat. The security were really nice, even joking with us since we had been in line for such a long time. I would definately come to this venue again as this was one of the best concert experiences I have had!!!
Review Source:The Joint is a huge venue. In my youth, I would have loved to be in the general admission and fight my way to the front, but now I am more of stand on the balcony type of person. At least that was how I was during Kenny Chesney. Being in the VIP area up top was definitely the way to go. The bar upstairs never has a line and the cocktail waitresses come around frequently. If you are sober at a country concert then you are not doing it right.
I was shocked that the venue was doing a drink special. Malibu had a spiced rum specially for the No Shoes Nation tour. It tastes like Captain. Any drink or shot with it was only $5. For two bud lights and three rum and diets, it ran us $31. That is unheard of on the strip.
The view from the VIP area is awesome! There is room to dance and drink without others bumping into you. We were on the far left side and had the perfect view of Kenny. Of course he sang all of his hits and played for two hours straight. I just wished that Zac Brown Band was opening up for him like they do on other stops. I can't complain too much though. Great night!
Great venue for seeing a musical performance. General admission floor seating allows you to get as close as you want to the stage and just about every table has a perfect view. Acoustics were great
They do have screens on each side of the stage, but for the Prince show that I attended, they gladly didn't turn them on. Before the show, the screens were used for advertising and announcements. I thought it was ironic that a notice that any photography or video recording was prohibited followed an advertisement by a telecom provider asking people to "text pics" of the show to them on Twitter. Nonetheless, once the show started, security was tapping a lot of people on the shoulder for using their mobile phones to take photos.
I haven't been here in years- before they remodeled the Joint, so it was nice seeing the changes. We saw Prince at the 8pm show on Saturday. Excellent show, no opening act, and started maybe 15 min late. I think it was around an hour and 20 min, with a 15-20 min encore.
I enjoyed it because it was a small venue, so you could see him pretty well. Our tickets were "best available" for $95. I knew that meant standing room only on the floor, but I thought there might be a designation for ticket price- (ie, the expensive tickets got to stand closer). That wasn't the case- you just went down to the floor and stood where ever. So, I might have been better off buying the cheaper seats.
The sound quality and stage effects were great, and of course Prince was amazing!
This was my first concert here, was pretty good...we saw Prince. Â The concert was pretty short, which was disappointing, I thought it would be longer than an hour and 15? Â Only mentioning it in this review, because I'd think that the venue would have a longer show...we were at the 8pm first show, the second was at 11pm. Anyways, the concert was good, not a bad seat in the house, great small venue.
However, it was weird. Â We had tickets for the front stage area, standing room only. Â Which I got on Ticketmaster, and were the "best available seats", also most expensive available at the time. Â And were good. Â But, weirdly, when we scanned and went in, not one staff member ever checked where our tickets were, we just walked on down to the front. Â Making me think it was so crowded down front (we had to stand way to the side) because everyone just went where ever they wanted, no one was checking tickets. Â
Also, of course the drinks were a complete rip-off. Â We got in line and I got 2 Blueberry Vodkas w/ Soda ($22), boyfriend got 2 Bud Lights ($24). Â WTF, how is beer more expensive than Vodka? Â Weird. Â I asked the bartender but she just said "they're large beers" Â Not like we're at the Hofbrau Haus in Munich and they're as large as your head...they were probably 20 ounces. Â Whatever. Â I didn't go to Vegas thinking I'd come home with a lot of cash.
Nice venue for the Prince show last night, but he only played for an hour and ten minutes! Now I know this is a review of the Joint, but until the venues start holding the artist accountable, we will be getting ripped off. Â The General Admission tix were about $230 for the both of us. That's pretty expensive for a seventy minute show. Â Make these artists sign a contract that they will play for a certain amount of time and let the consumer know how long. That way we can decide whether we want to pony up the money to see it. I am so mad I want my money back. A seventy minute show, REALLY?
Review Source:We saw Kenny Chesney last weekend and loved it. Â Small venue so the tickets were a little expensive but he played for 2 1/2 himself so definitely worth it.
The entire bottom was GA and the only seat and tables were on the balcony. Â The GA tickets were great though. Â They have railings every 10 feet or so and it helps so you can have something to lean on and each railing has a tiered level so you get a little bit of a tier to see over the people in front of you. Â Beer were expensive but the were large which was a good thing seeing as the lines are ridiculous. Â You are allowed to bring drinks in though so buy a drink before going in, much cheaper and quicker. Â The sound is great.
Only thing I wasn't a fan of was the merchandise booth was outside so the line afterwards was too long to make it worth buying anything. Â I did find out though that they will scan you ticket in and out of the arena so you can go out buy stuff and come back in. Â This is great seeing as no other arena in town does this. Â You can even buy beers in the casino and bring them in in a plastic cup they provide.
The venue is nice and intimate, not a bad seat in the house. The staff however I could do without.
I had purchased tickets for the Def Leppard Hysteria concert on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fticketmaster.com&s=b86cc28ad3f076603f0c2610655c237cb1cf2ea8f80b0a9fbdd9bf0d7f5d860e" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://ticketmaster.com</a>, when we arrived at the venue they scanned our tickets at the door and told us they were coming up as already being used. If I'd have purchased the tickets off of Craigslist I'd have been concerned that someone had scammed me, but seeing how I bought the tickets direct I knew it was  problem with their system. The girl at the door admitted they'd been having this problem all night and asked us to move to the side while she tried to get a manager. She asked someone to get a manager for us and she kept the traffic moving while we waited... and waited... and waited!
We waited nearly a half hour before a manager came and said a word to us, even though we watched 2 separate staff members flag her down numerous times, she was apparently too busy to help us. When she finally did come over she took my tickets and asked my my ID then went into an office full of people and we waited some more. Finally she returned with our tickets and said, "Okay you're good to go." But there was no apology for their apparent problem with their scanners, no apology for our wait, and no offer to make our experience better - more of just a, "well OK, get on your way".
I had purchased general admission tickets which were standing room only. I was concerned after our long wait that we'd be at the back of a huge crowd, but turns out there were only maybe 80-100 people in general admission all together so we actually had a great view and people weren't packed in too tight. Next time I think I'll purchase the table seating on the balcony, but I'd say our GA tickets were as good as the seated floor seats and we actually had even more room to move around than they did. It's not like people sit during most concerts anyway right?
The drinks were a bit ridiculously priced - $14 for a Bud Light. But they did let you bring in drinks from the casino as long as you put it in a plastic cup so we just got free drinks from playing slots and brought them in that way.
I am sure we'll come to another concert at this venue. Doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house and you're up close and personal with the performers. Just don't expect to be treated like you're anything special from the staff.
My rocker wife and I just got back from seeing Def Leppard and have to say I was impressed. Â First off, they let me bring in my own beer which was a really good thing considering they charge $12 for a bud light! Â I learned that the hard way when I went to replenish and fortify. Â Great concert, great sound system and the seating is done well. Â We had people traipsing back and forth in front of us so we moved to the seats behind us with no fuss from the staff. Â All in all, a good concert experience. Â Just smuggle when it comes to drinks or you'll take it in the pooper!
Review Source:I saw Def Leppard on April 5, 2013. What a great show. We were in row GG, on the right side of the stage. the view was acceptable. The seating goes way outside the sightline for the stage. We were in the last two seats on that row. ...7th row but how the seats were set up, we were actually 3rd row. The sound was great. It was easy to get in and out. Took a cab there and back to the Flamingo. Once we got to our seats, we never left them. it's not often that you can see a band like DL in such a small venue. The place only holds 4,000 people.
Review Source:You can take the Girl out of the '80s but you can't take the "Rocker" out of the girl! Â
We were in Vegas last weekend for our daughter's soccer tournament and guess who  was in town playing at the Joint? Def Leppard!  Had to go for lots of reason!  Yes, they still have the one-armed-drummer and can still sing. Â
This was my second time seeing a concert at the Joint and I have to say.....it is a great venue. Â There was seating everywhere which was fabulous - not fighting for space or elbowing your way to keep your spot is pretty nice. Â Have to say, it was tight but it was nice to have a place to lay my bag that was not the floor. Â
It was easy getting in and getting out, the concert started on time and the bathroom lines were fast (always a good thing when you are a girl)
I came here for a Muay Thai fight. I couldn't find anywhere online where I could view a seating chart for a boxing ring set up which made buying tickets difficult. I ended up with a view of the corner of the ring slightly obstructed by the camera boom. A friend whose view was terribly obstructed complained and was re-seated easily. Getting in and out of the venue was easy. The seats were super close to each other. They can work on labeling row and seats better. Despite my apparent bitching I liked the venue enough for a fight. Unfortunately, the person I came to see didn't win. Boo!
Review Source:I am a big fan of The Joint. Â The venue is not gigantic so you can see the stage from wherever you are sitting. The attendants who guard the seating area are a little crazy...I think I had 3 people check my ticket within 2 minutes. Â I sat up in the suites where we had a great server who kept our drink order running, but the drinks were incredibly expensive, way over priced. Â And a big big bummer, they dont serve food. Â Who doesn't serve food to a bunch of people who are drinking!!? Â And the event was from 2:30pm to 9pm. Â They could have made a killing with just nachos, pretzels and hot dogs.
Review Source:First visit (post rebrand): WEC 42.
It was moved from one part of the Hard Rock to another and resized from a club venue to a monstrosity that affords you only a fraction of the awesome lines-of-sight that the previous The Joint afforded before its relocation/renaming to The Joint Rogue. Anyone who walks into this venue after having been in the other one really gets a shock when they see the new size of this thing and a bigger shock if they get a terrible line-of-sight to the stage/cage.
I have attended too many shows and Mixed Martial Arts events here to list, both before when it was club-sized and probably a four-to-five star venue to now where it has no idea what it is (is it a mid-size venue with arena-level shittiness?) or have enough competent staff to be able to fulfill their duties.
One specially asinine experience with their incompetent staff:
my girlfriend was dizzy from the BTU-heat being generated by the crowd on the floor during an Interpol/White Rabbit/Imagine Dragons concert. So we walk out of the pit and get to the back wall off to the side (bothering no one, except one overly inconsiderate staff member) and she sits on the ground so she does not keel over while I run over to the bar to get preposterously priced bottles of water. "Get up!" she is yelled instead of affording her a minute to bring down her body temp or asking if she is feeling alright. I get there right after she is threatened with being kicked out in her condition. Awesome. Hard Rock staff in a nutshell.
Another asinine experience since I have so many:
different show, same award-winning staff. We queue for an Arcade Fire/Local Natives Coachella runoff show. Once we are inside on barrier centre there is this fat, clearly Mallcop-Paul-Blart-inspired staff member (with a shirt one size too small for his portly mid section). He is so intent on being a Employee of the Month that he is watching everyone creepily like a hawk to make sure he can throw someone out. Of course he throws someone out, and since his friend protests -- although he was doing nothing besides protesting, which he has a right to do since the fucking show had not even started yet, this goon security gets in his most gut-sucked, chest-out posterior and squares up from across the barrier with this guy from LA and keeps repeatedly asking in an agitated manner if he wants to join his friend. Great conflict resolution. Something tells me that this clown would not be so brave if he was not inside The Joint with all the other black shirts backing him like a gang of unfit J.R.O.T.C. rejects.
The afterparty room upstairs is overly tiny and sucks as much as The Joint's staff but at least Blart is not there. - E
Went to see the "Not So Silent Night" tour with Train, Better than Ezra etc. Â The concerts were amazing and sound was great! Â My only arguement is this was my first Joint concert where there was assigned seating. Â We got there a little late being that the first two concerts we didnt need to see. Â When we were shown our seats (they were on the floor-row MM) they were in the middle of the row. Â The chairs were so jammed packed in there that its almost impossible to get to your seat without interrupting everone around you. Â Most of the row had to move out of the row so that we could find our seats. Â
I don't know...I dont have much complaints as I loved the show. Â Absolutely amazing....but God forbid if you need to go to the bathroom or grab a beer. Â Be prepared to stay in your seats! Â You would almost think it would be a hazard to be that packed in.
Anyways, love the Joint especially when yo
I saw Guns and Roses here and damn even at age 50 Axl still has it. The venue is cool b/c it's small so no matter where you sit the seats are decent. I like how open the space is - you can get a drink and still see the stage. The sound on the lower level was great. But I dislike that smoking is allowed in the venue. I know it's Vegas but come on, why does everyone have to inhale other people's smoke. They should at least use proper ventilation or make the smokers go into a separate area.
Review Source:Went to see Linkin Park "A Thousand Suns" tour on Aug. 30, 2011 at the Joint. Loved every minute of it!!!
Thanks to Jet Blue we were over an hour late for the concert (we were flying in the same night). When we got to check in at Hard Rock, I just assumed, seeing the huge line outside for the concert that I'll have to settle for the furthest spot and just enjoy the music without seeing the band up close. I was so happy that we got GA tickets because without any hustle we made our way through the crowd and being an hour late, surprisingly got very close to the stage.
There were balcony assigned seats, but GA standing room no doubt was the place to be. The sound was great, the crowd was into it, the band needless to say was amazing, engaging, talented, awesome, badass, loud, and enjoyed their time onstage and interacting with the fans.
There was a bar at the back of the GA standing room, so you could grab a drink during the concert without leaving the venue, and still see the stage. If you are waiting in line for the concert to start, there's a liquor store along one of the hallways, so you can start the party earlier while waiting, and don't have to overpay or travel far to the bar on the casino floor.
I wish there were more concerts at the Joint. After seeing a concert at the Staples Center in LA, and then traveling to Hard Rock's The Joint, comparatively I prefer the Joint for its intimate and cozy, yet badass rockin' ambiance.
I can't believe I haven't reviewed The Joint yet. Not my favorite concert venue in town, but it's good enough.
I thought old The Joint was fine, but I suppose they wanted to fit more concert goers in and make more money.
We've experienced seats, standing on the floor general admission, and this last concert we attended were stuck up on the 3rd level balcony which was also standing general admission. It was nice being away from the crowds but the view and sound wasn't as good as lower levels. The bartenders were quick, so we never had to wait in line long. The bathrooms are really close too which makes for a quick pit stop while a not so favorite song is playing. Even though there was a security guard right by the men's room the smell of weed was over powering every time the door was open, so if you're sensitive to it, stand in a different area.
Drink prices are still high, typical for Las Vegas concert venues.
The crowd can be rowdy and drunk, sometimes I wonder why they go to a concert at all, talking or texting the whole show.
We already have tickets for a concert in February, so of course we will continue to visit this venue.
My 1st concert at The Joint and I got to get real cozy with the place as we were all waiting on beloved yet notoriously late rock and roll star Axl Rose to take the stage. Â Show was supposed to be 10PM but it was almost 2 hours later that Axl made his appearance with Guns N Roses--and they played until after 3AM. Â
The venue looks just about like the Moody Theater/ACL Live in Austin though if you've never been there this would be completely irrelevant. Â What I'm saying is that the venue is intimate enough to make you feel like you are up close yet big enough to hold thousands of people (thank you 2009 renovations). Â There is the stage, and a concert pit area coming out from there and then 2 other levels above that. Â Lots of famous musicians have played here including Aerosmith, Motley Crue and last year's residency of Tiesto. Â This year Guns N Roses picked The Joint to do their 2ish week run of shows. Â
The sound system is great speaking from a perspective of being in front of the stage on the floor though I have no idea what the effects are from the other levels as I have heard mixed things. Â Drinks will cost you your first born child but you can save up as a concert of your life might be worth it.
I like it here as a concert venue. Â While other yelpers have voiced a negative opinion, I had a great experience watching the Guns N Roses concert here.
We purchased the floor tickets and had to stand the entire concert. Â These were great tickets. Â We got to stand up close to the stage and that is what I liked about it. Â Being to able to get close and not pay an arm and a leg to do so. Â I was expecting the floor to be packed and oversold but it was not the case. Â Lots of elbow room.
Bathrooms are easy to get to and it wasn't a very long wait to get more beer.
I have no complaints about the sound system either.
If you want an up close view, I would recommend standing on the floor... Â that is that what I will opt for again...
I have seen 4 or 5 shows at this venue so far, and it has fast become my favorite place to see a show in Las Vegas, now that I've discovered that you can buy a VIP "skybox" seat.
Before that, it was your average 4,000 seat sweatbox, with a haphazard staff, but a large stage with great production. I liked that there were large, efficient bars, so you can wet your whistle during any given show, and it probably would have warranted a solid 3-star review.
But for Motley Crue, I noticed that you could spend a little extra for a VIP box, and man was that a whole different experience. First off, you get what is essentially a sky-box, that is accessed via a special, private floor, completely separate from the general admission madness. each box seats only 10 people, so you can either buy a couple of seats in that box and have only a small handful of neighbors, or get some friends together to buy the box out for a completely private concert experience. In addition to the 10 seats in the front of the box, there are also lounge-style stools, and even some sofas, for chilling between sets.
Finally, there are servers there to take your order, so you don't have to go to the bar, the bar comes to you.
This has become my absolute favorite way to to see a show, as my patience for the general public wears thinner and thinner with each passing year. It costs more, but you definitely get what you pay for in this instance.
What in the hell?
The "best" seats are actually made of cheap metal folding chairs with stained cushions?
Free-flowing booze and douchebags that can't follow simple directions (HELLO! Â There's no smoking in the venue, dipshits!! Â Security told you 20 times!) Â Getting beer spilled on me while watching the Axl Rose and Friends Show (aka Guns 'N Roses) on my man's birthday? Â You're gonna get a fist in your face!
With that being said, whose idea was it to make The Joint entirely of concrete? Â It just makes the acoustics very shitty and I could barely hear Axl Rose sing!
I don't recall Axl sounding terrible when I saw GNR back in March at the Wiltern in LA. Â Ugh, I really felt like shanking some bitches afterward...
Would love to see GNR again. Â Just not at "The Joint".
The Joint has grown, and not in a good way.
I was at the Joint two years ago: saw Modest Mouse and was stunned at the size of the venue. It was teeny tiny, so there were zero bad seats in the whole house. It was delightfully grungy. I left that experience vowing to see more shows there due to the intimate setting.
Not anymore. The Joint is a giant soulless loading dock. Take out the screen and you could park a small fleet of naval cruisers and warships inside. You could even stack them due to the amazing amount of wasted space above the ground seating. The Balcony is so far back they should have never left home. The decor says "upgraded high school gym". I don't know what this space used to be, but it was clearly not designed primarily for live music.
Also the beer on tap is just awful crap and Shock Top which is pretending to not be awful crap but totally is all the same.
Some positives: Large Screens so the people waaaaaaaaaaaay in the back can see the performer. Yay! Helpful bar staff, and wait staff taking the orders of people already seated (not during the show, but before.) The ability to taunt your less attentive friends ("Haha your seats are back there? I'm all the way up here! Look how much closer I am!").
You can see music and get booze here, so it can't be all bad, but in a place that considers itself to be the Temple of Music in Las Vegas- I'd be ashamed. Â The House of Blues does a much better version of this in an establishment that has a lot more character- and it's a chain restaurant.
I have a love/hate relationship with The Joint. I miss the old, smaller, more intimate version. I think the experience here will really depend on the show and who else is in attendance. Most shows are general admission, so if you get stuck standing by some real assholes, you can always move....unless it's super crowded. Or unless you are near the front and don't won't to give up prime real estate. I usually hang out somewhere midway back. I don't think it's worth throwing elbows to be up close, and I like having easier access to the bar. ;) Speaking of which, they should be ashamed of their beer selection. Bud, Bud Light and Shock Top? Really? That's IT? Barf. At least there are a lot of windows and service tends to move pretty quickly.
Review Source:Berlin, Brett Michaels, Cheap Trick - free concert! 80's rock party! Bang your head!
I was at the Joint last night to attend a free concert courtesy of the Infocomm Show - big props to VER, JBL, and Panasonic! Three bands that sounded great and put on a terrific show. With each playing for an hour or so this was like watching a greatest hits of 80's rock anthems. Berlin surprised me the most at how good they were and Terri Nunn's voice was amazing. Brett is Brett - the eternal rock and roller and his set was full of energy and terrific songs. He just loves performing in front of a crowd. Cheap Trick brought the house down with a consummate set of songs such as Dream Police, I Want You To Want Me, Surrender, and so many other hits that they had over the years. Rick Neilson is still one of the best guitarists of his era.
I was pretty impressed at the sound and acoustics here, considering the whole place is one big concrete floor room. The front of house guy nailed it, as each band sounded crystal clear, and the vocals were easily heard. The Joint is basically one big huge room with a concrete floor that angles down as you get closer to the upraised stage, so there are terrific sight lines no matter if you are in the front or standing in the back. There are actually three levels with the upper ones having seats and VIP booths. The main floor has a large pit area and then railed tiered levels as you head to the back. I tried a few different spots and all were a good view and sound. They also have some pretty cool lighting and effects over the stage and along the side walls.
There is a big bar on the bottom level that runs the length of the back area. Lots of bartenders and cocktail waitresses coming around for drinks. Easy access in and out of the place and pretty big bathrooms which is always a plus. I also had to notice the terrific air conditioning here. Even though it was crowded it was not at all hot and sweaty as many venues get. They also keep this place clean, as between each act a crew of people came around and picked up all the trash and mopped up any spills. Wow. Impressive.
Would I come back here to see a concert? In a heartbeat! This is a great venue and it's so cool to walk out into the Hard Rock and gamble to even more great music.
I don't understand how a venue "designed" for music shows has such bad acoustics! The sound was really terrible and put a bit of a damper on the show. Â Hmmm.... probably because the whole place is concrete?
I wouldn't go back here again unless I was really dying to see a band, but then I'd probably be sad because they sounded horrible.
On the plus side, the restrooms are easily accessible; and there were cocktail waitresses that came into the crowd and took orders.... but that's not what really counts when I want to hear good music.
Yay, I'm a fan! No complaints about the venue here at all. There didn't seem to be a bad seat in the house and the alcohol wasn't as insanely expensive as I'd have thought ($5 for a beer, albeit a small one).
It was really easy to get in and out of the venue, and that's a huge plus in my book. I hate waiting for an hour just to walk out the door.
Just watched the new Axl Rose interview on That Metal Show on VH1 and traveled back in time to one of the greatest nights of my life....
September 16, 2006. 11:15PM. Â The Joint at The Hard Rock in Vegas. Â A crowd of only 2,000. Waiting for Guns N' Roses to take the stage. My first GNR concert, ever.
Robin Finck finally walked onto the stage and rocked the eagerly waiting crowd with the opening riff of "Welcome to the Jungle." For what seemed to span an eternity, Robin teased the crowd with that riff. And just when our fragile little hearts couldn't take it anymore...the messiah himself, Mr. Axl Rose, belted out "YOU KNOW WHERE THE F#%K YOU ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE??!"...and the crowd....went....absolutely...ape...you know what!! Including yours truly!
The following night, I came back to the same venue. Same band. Same set list. Rocked it out again for another 2.5 hours and it was like experiencing it for the first time.
Most memorable venue I've ever been to not just for its small size and good acoustics, but for making my dreams come true...
...Paradise City it became.
This place was huge-- three floors, big VIP section, huge pit!
We came to see Tiesto and had bottle service. Â I don't think I would have lasted very long if we hadn't had our own space. Â Every time we needed to go to the bathroom and go into the general area, it was chaotic, people bumping into each other etc.
Entry for VIP and bottle service was very organized and impressive. Â It was quick and we were at our table pretty quickly after checking in. Â We had a great space to dance, with a couch, table and drinks. Â Â People around us were chill. Â Servers/bussers were attentive and security was tight and they dealt with issues (mainly a really drunk girl who puked everywhere at the table next to us) quickly and professionally. Â It made the night run smoothly. Â
The show was great and lasted longer than we expected, which was great.  We took a taxi home and  walked to the next spot to avoid the RIDICULOUS lines at the Hard Rock.
