I am grouping my responses to the Lep and Aero posts. Saves time . . . and paper!

Of course. I am sure demand is great. You don't extend unless the in-flow tells you to do so. And I will eat humble pie yet again. Never expected these to be such hot tickets. But they are. So they are extended. So I stand corrected.

More importantly, Allyson, I hope you are finally on the med-induced mend. Get well, our gracious host!

Question ? Has anyone attended any sort of musical act at this venue ? Was curious on the experience, thoughts you may have.

[Him]

Good question, GNR. Was wondering about this venue (and the one for the Aero residency). Leave it to a smart poster to ask questions that are actually useful!

[Allyson]

Yes I've seen shows at the Park Theater owned by MGM. Nice venue. I have also seen shows at Planet Hollywood - both are great for concerts. The venues are smaller so you are closer to the bands. - Allyson

I read an interview with Vivian Campbell and he stated that they played side one of High N Dry and the audience didn't get it. Am I that old that those first 3 albums are not loved by new Def Leppard fans? Also he said they had a fake opening band where they came out and played all the old stuff under afake name - now I would pay TOP dollar for that.

@Shawn Yes. You are that old. Best to like me. Just buy yourself a closet full of track suits, permanently glue your turn signal on, drive in the passing lane at all times, (never going over 37 mph), learn to eat dinner at 4:00 pm, constantly complain about walking to school 7 miles in a snowstorm uphill (both ways), and practice screaming at kids to get the hell off your lawn....😂😂

Gary, if you are going to crib from my life story, at least have the decency to credit me! That was a good laugh.

I, too, Shawn, pine for those older albums. I think their current audience is largely composed of those who wanted sugar poured upon them. Nothing wrong with that, mind you. But that is their (hot, sticky) sweet spot when it comes to filling venues.

Thanks for the venue info, Allyson. I am tempted to go to at least one of these events. But, boy oh boy, I do not like Vegas when it is hot! I wonder if I could get Ace to join me? Speaking of which, where have you been Ace?
