Motley Crue will become the first hard rock band to play a Las Vegas residency when they take over the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in February 2012. Dubbed “Motley Crue in Sin City,” the residency will comprise 12 shows from February 3-19.
Announcing the shows, 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.”
Drummer Tommy Lee added that the Crue had imagined doing a show like this for many years. “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.’”
