After selling out their initial concert dates in September and October, the band extended their stay through the end of the year. Now, they have extended it again. It was a record-setting and unprecedented launch for the UV Achtung Baby Live. So, the band and venue have added eleven additional dates in January and February. The first 9 shows have been a sold-out success, and have led to the demand for the additional concerts, listed at…

Yes, the Mirage Volcano attraction is coming down. In its place, Hard Rock will put up the monstrosity that will become a guitar shaped hotel.

The High Roller Las Vegas was not the first observation wheel planned for the city. The original Las Vegas Super Wheel was never actually built, and now all that remains of the planned Skyvue Wheel sits in a vacant lot across from Mandalay Bay on the south end of The Strip.
