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.

My vote:
Wayne Newton to replace Paul
Carrot Top to replace Gene 🙂
I just saw Def Leppard and Kiss last night in Dallas. My 5th time seeing Def ( my fav band ) and my first time seeing Kiss. I thought it was a great show from both bands and by the reaction from the sold out crowd so did everybody else there. I don’t get all the trash about Kiss. Paul thanked all the fans for getting them into the rr hall of fame. He and Gene sounded great and the two ” new ” guys played outstanding. And I get not liking them for some people because Ace and Peter aren’t in the band. I didn’t like Priest without Halford. Since he has been back I have seen them twice and bought all 3 albums. I didn’t feel the need to complain about it all the damn time though. I just didnt support them with my time or money. And complain about Kiss spending a couple of weeks in Vegas ? If you could stay in one place for a couple or more weeks and get paid well wouldn’t you do it ? I damn sure would and alot of other bands have done the same thing. Get over it. And lets not forget that when a person records a song when they are in their 20’s its not going to sound the exact same way 30 or 40 years later. Lets put time and age into perspective here people. If you don’t like a certain band or type of music, why are wasting your time reading about them. I don’t get it. And one last thing, great job Dana. I check out this site almost daily for the info you and Eddie provide for us true fans. Thank you !!!!!!!
Good post, Mike
i wanted to add a comment about ” haters” although i know i shouldn’t lol….. i have read most of the posts/comments posted here about kiss because like many of the people making comments i have loved kiss since i was 15 yrs old – just tossing out the word” haters” is just silly , people post negative comments out of frustration, the band that they first loved ,got inspired by , connect memories to etc…now i have to be careful ..dont want to be a” hater” that great band has in just my opinion,, become absurd- just look at a clip from the 70’s they were everything a rock band should be about – take a look at any clip from 2010 till now – that should do it…. rock is supposed to be about rebellion , it is supposed to inspire you , make you feel alive , give you gooseflesh when the lights go down, they have become a parody of themselves and they should stop pretending they are the same band they once were, ALI should have quit while he was still the greatest, he hung on too long and tarnished his legacy, and we all know what else. i know deep down paul and gene love doing this, it ‘s their life , their life’s work , and the music and the fans have given them a fantastic life. paul knows his voice is shot and i’m sure he is very upset about it , they know they are not what they need to be and i’m sure they do a lot of soul searching in private , truth be told they have aged pretty gracefully on stage , but this is just not the hottest band in the land anymore – i dont hate kiss , i love kiss! when it’s finally over for kiss i want to remember what they used to be and how they made me feel , not what they have now become.
total agreement,its a money making brand for kids..hello kitty kiss sums it up.people say we are haters as you say but thats not it.we expect a rock n roll band that set the bar.not a brand going trough the motions to make one more dollar.people say “ooh but they are in their 60s.. so,They are touting themselves as one of the biggest bands in the world.Thats laughable,you play sold out stadiums as a headliner not dragging round def leppard to do 60 mins of the same old same old.
Their ego’s wont let them face the fact they are way past it..
They are still making money, and if you go to a show, you would see people are still loving their concerts so why quit?…Been a fan since 1977, and no matter what, they always managed to surprise, but I didn’t like the makeup being worn by Tommy and Eric, even though I love the new music too. I have come to terms with it as a fan, and understand that they ARE still relevant because the mainstream sees the makeup and thinks thats KISS, whereas you may say there’s 1/2 of KISS…Hell, USA Today had an article about this Vegas residency today so someone cares…It’s funny, to the non- fans of KISS, they are relevant, but to people like me ( or maybe you and others) who have loved them for what they WERE, we feel much of what they do is calculated and not genuine…that’s because we’re fans…All of these bands are getting old, and as long as they can bring it then I say bring it…but I have to admit, to those of us who saw them in there heyday, they are not that today…
And, you are not the same person today that you were in their heyday. When youre a kid and you experience something for the first tIme, its always bigger and better. (and that includes ice cream, candy, and a Mcdonalds cheeseburger) It was a totally different time with different musical tastes. Barry Manilow and Captain and Tenille were huge back then as well. I think it’s unfair to compare the original band with the current band. There are way too many other factors involved. Today, anyone can go on youtube and watch a Kiss concert from their own home. You can download Kiss music online. You can see backstage footage of Kiss on youtube. You can go online and find out the setlist from every concert. The original Kiss did not have to compete with these issues. Think about the first time you saw the movie Jaws when it came out. Totally cool movie and very scary. Now think about when you watched it on cable last week. Same movie but does it have the same affect on you? Nope. Why, it’s still the same cool movie that scared the crap out of you in 1975? The movie is the same. You are different and so is the time. But do you still have a fondness for the movie? Yep.
Good analogy…don’t misinterpret what I am saying…I’m not the same, and neither are they, so my point is we shouldn’t expect Kiss from 1977 although they still put on a great, fun show…
You are making too much sense. This is the wrong conversation for logic.
Gene must be very upset that he can’t claim to have invented the residency gig idea, since Motley and Guns did it first. I heard he’s now claiming to have invented Creme brûlée.
that’s just really funny lol
About as funny as comparing Gene’s net worth with yours.
what’s that have to do with comedy? Maybe if you ask Gene he will buy you a sense of humor? Oh wait he doesn’t have one either lol
Jimmy Durante did a residency in Vegas in ’53.
That is when I stopped following Durante. What a sell out.
