Motley Crue preps for Sin City residency

Boasting that "what happens in Vegas will be heard around the world," glam metal icons Motley Crue have announced an extended run of dates at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas this February in what band members are describing as the city's "first-ever hard rock residency."

Officially billed as "Motley Crue in Sin City," the event runs from Feb. 3-19 at The Joint, a 4,000 capacity venue located inside the Hard Rock Hotel, and a press release promises the show will be the L.A.-based quartet's most unique, interactive concert experience yet. Precise details about the show are being kept under wraps in order to maintain an element of surprise for the fans.

Still sporting their original line-up of vocalist Vince Neil, guitarist Mick Mars, bassist Nikki Sixx, and drummer Tommy Lee, Motley Crue celebrated the 30th anniversary of the outfit's founding and debut album earlier this year. Motley Crue has gone on to sell over 80 million albums over the course of their career, according to the band's website.
