KISS have announced their first-ever residency in Las Vegas, Radio.com reports. Dubbed "KISS Rocks Vegas," their stint lasts from November 5-23 at The Joint in The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
"What happens in Vegas will not stay in Vegas, not if we have anything to do with it. We intend to blow the roof off the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino," Gene Simmons said in a press release.
As Radio.com points out, the venue has hosted a number of rock bands including Guns 'N' Roses, Motely Crue, and Def Leppard, as well as Santana and Tiesto.
The VP of Entertainment for Vegas' Hard Rock, Chas Smith, told USA Today that KISS will take over the hotel during their stay.
"The activation will encompass the entire property for the month they're out here," Smith said. "From the performances onstage to wrapping the hotel with Kiss stuff to having team members wearing Kiss shirts."
The Joint seats about 3,200 people, so each night fans will be treated to an intimate set from the band.
Paul Stanley told USA Today, "Usually, going into a smaller venue means eliminating things. The great thing about going into The Joint, it gives us the opportunity to add. Much in the same way as a Broadway show, when you have a permanent installation, you're not breaking down every night to travel. So we can do things we wouldn't normally do."
Prior to their Vegas residency, KISS will be on tour throughout the summer with Def Leppard and will kick off their five-day "KISS Cruise" on Oct. 31. Their stint in Vegas begins the day they return.
