Rock ‘n’ roll legends KISS celebrate 40 years as music icons with their first-ever residency, KISS Rocks Vegas, at The Joint inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas starting Wednesday, November 5th through Sunday, November 23rd. Show time is 8 p.m.
Concert Club presale: Mon July 14th at 10am PST to Thurs July 17th at 10pm.
“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,” said Gene Simmons, founding member of KISS.
Four decades after beginning its exemplary journey as one of the leading rock ‘n’ roll bands in the world, KISS continues to make waves with one of the loudest, most over-the-top, non-stop parties at The Joint. Designed exclusively for The Joint in partnership with AEG Live, the chart-topping band will unleash its signature elaborate set designs, jam-packed set list, intense pyrotechnics and much more for nine of the biggest shows in KISS performance history.
“KISS Army, get ready! America’s most iconic band is coming to America’s most exciting city. Rock and Rock Hall of Famers KISS are bringing their show to Las Vegas for their first-ever residency. For 40 years, KISS has been putting on some of the most exciting shows in music and we finally got them where they should be – Las Vegas – at The Joint. We couldn’t be more excited to see what they’re gearing up for!” exclaimed Bobby Reynolds, vice president of booking for AEG Live Las Vegas.

Like usual alot of haters posting the same ol tired shit, and showing the usual low IQ points to boot. Here’s a tip – don’t go to shows, don’t buy albums, and don’t read the posts….unless you’re just here to hate – which I think you are.
You nailed it. We love making fun of this band because it is so easy. We don’t have to put any effort into it whatsoever.
The lack of effort is very visible Harry. Enjoy the Biebs in few years. Cause that’s all we’ll have left.
DR,
True, but I am starting to see a few more supporters lately. Based on some of the posts, there are a few haters, maybe a few honest and dismayed fans, and some supporters of current KISS. Its hard not to reply harshly to some of the haters or so called experts here who think KISS should call it quits. Monster is one of the best albums I’ve heard in a long time. Some have even gone as far as to exploit Paul’s vocal challenges from a few years ago to discredit KISS and support their argument. The truth is that Paul sounds great, but just does not have the same vocal range he had before his vocal surgery. Some try to come from various angles to criticize KISS, attacking everything they do–lame. So let them stop buying KISS. The number of KISS fans grows every day. After the RRHOF cermony, about two million fans “un-liked” KISS–which left about 11 or 12 million–now its back up to about 12,620,000. They must be doing something right.
Mike,
Personally I don’t give a shit if someone likes KISS or not. I don’t care if you like this incarnation or not. As a matter of fact, I understand it if people don’t want to support it. But then keep your mouth shut. If you don’t like them, don’t read about them. Don’t waste your time. I’m all for being critical as people know. But be original or don’t be here. But for those who do want to KISS to ‘pack it in’, I’ll say this – be very careful what you wish for, because soon a lot of these bands will be packing it in. And we’ll have virtually nothing. No KISS, no Priest, Scorps, Sabbath, Crue, Motorhead, etc. Then there will be a different kind of whining and complaining. My 6 and 9 year old love KISS. They don’t know who Paul Stanley is, they know who the Starchild is. And that’s exactly what KISS wants. Me personally, I like my KISS with Ace Frehley and anyone other than Peter Criss. But I’ll take them to a KISS show because its a helluva lot better than taking them to Katy Perry or the Biebs. So keep hating haters, cause its gonna get a lot worse sooner than anyone wants.
All true…good points…who will we be seeing live in the next 5 years?? Not many will be left…
Have you seen the sales figures in the USA for the last two cds? Or the fact they have had to co headline the last two tours? There are not 5 new fans replacing the ones that are jumping ship. Clearly people aren’t buying the cds or going to the shows anymore. Live Nation had to have special sales just to get people to buy tickets to the shows. Also all the free tickets that will be given away to make the venues look full. They aren’t an arena act anymore they are a theatre band. That’s not hate just the plain truth. They’ll do well at the Join because its 3200 seats, but they couldn’t do a show like that in a 20000 seater because it would be empty.
Again my point is John, who cares? Do you feel better about it because you can make claims they can’t sell a 20,000 seater? Who can nowadays besides 2 or 3 other acts? There are shitloads of other artists co-headlining these days. But I don’t hear people talking shit about Elton John and Billy Joel. Anybody wanna take a shot at Aerosmith for taking Slash on the road this summer?
Oh DR…..stop whining. People have the total right to voice their opinion whether you like it or not. You hate Peter Criss….so you are a “hater” yourself……& I have accepted Eric & Tommy but this shit is hysterical in regards to Kiss….lessseeee…Vegas Circus, Half of KISS Tribute Touring. L.A. KISS, 4 all new Kiss members etc: Shit is funny but hey, we buy their bullshit so kudos to Gene & Paul…..Joe in The Cuse
Ahhh, the incessant ramblings of one who wears a safety helmet as he watches a tilta whirl go around for hours. Come on joe, time to get going. The short bus has arrived.
Don’t accuse me of whining because my facts differ from your opinions. I’m not ‘hating’ on Criss as you suggest. I just don’t by the hype most of you ‘haters’ – yourself included have heaped on him. Your shit is getting real old Joe in The Cuse. Not sure why a Vegas stint at this stage in the game is hysterical to you. Funny how when these guys do something that other bands of done, it becomes a joke, whether its Vegas or co-headlining.
Oh DR….my shit is getting old?? And yours isn’t? C’mon…you’re a “hater” just as much as you any1 else here…..you can spin it anyway you want. Personally AGAIN, I find this shit hysterical……but AGAIN…kudos to Gene & Paul. They run the band as a buisness and bless them……..and “hate” is a really strong word……I really believe nobody hates any of the current members or past members of Kiss…..Joe in The Cuse
You can’t look at the Spaceman & Catman and not think of Ace & Peter, regardless of the “backstory”, that’s who they are, inside out. Same will go for the Starchild & the Demon when they get replaced. Might sound crazy, but for me, when all of the original 4 are replaced, that will be easier to accept than just half the band. Because then, instead of trying to convince everybody that the characters are more important than the people portraying them, Paul & Gene will see things differently, – like from Ace & Peter’s eyes, from their perspective. Either you’re a cover/tribute band, or you’re not, you can replace the members, BUT YOU CAN’T REPLACE THE FACES, no matter who’s behind the makeup, for better or worse.
doug r,
I hear what you’re saying. I support current KISS but I wonder how Paul and Gene will be able to step back and let someone take over their personas. They have always controlled the direction and integrity (at least most of the time) of KISS. In my opinion, the one time they should have listened to Ace was before they recorded The Elder–even though I like that album–because he knew what the fans needed from KISS at that time. Nevertheless, Paul and Gene have always expected the best and total commitment from each member. How will they maintain that outside of KISS? I don’t know. This talk about replacing all four at the same time makes no sense to me. Then again, its not confirmed. The residency in Las Vegas is not a surprise at all–I think Aerosmith played a residency at The Joint too. From there, they will probably tour for another year I would imagine.
Doug R., I like that. I don’t have anything personally against Tommy and Eric. My beef is with Gene and Paul forcing them to wear makeup to pretend to be someone they are not. So I think the new mantra for fans on this side of the argument should simply be “REPLACE THE FACES!” Brilliant in it’s simplicity. Thank you!
Yes you are brilliantly simple.
Guess Im one of the few who still enjoy seeing them. If i can swing it I’ll be in Vegas
If people did not buy tickets then Ace would be back tomorrow. People support Tommie so guess what you get. Tommie. Haven’t been to a Kiss show since the Farewell Tour and I love Kiss. I spend a lot of $$$ on vintage Kiss stuff but not a dime on the new Kiss.

Oh .another tribute band like kiss. Haha . As a longtime fan of all eras of kiss all the way up to diss fake kiss today. I say retire. If I wanna see a kiss tribute band I would go see this act bev ause its what it is its a stolen act . With imposters. Funny thing is ppl always diss ace but if u really think about it it was him that left them. not once but twice n its him that has best solo material as an artist out of all kiss ex members.and sold most . And its also a fact kiss was never as big as a band unless he was in the band . These are facts. So next time somebody thinks bad of ace remember these facts
