The Joint |
The Joint is a 4,000 seat[1] showroom located inside the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Paradise, Nevada. This is a common venue for classic rock and modern rock bands in the Las Vegas Valley.[2]
The versatility of the venue is demonstrated by its ability to host other events including boxing, World Extreme Cagefighting[3] and TNA Wrestling Impact!.[4]
The Joint tends to book groups who traditionally favor arena types of venues.
History
Opened in 1995, The Joint was a 1,500 seat showroom with the ability to accommodate 2,000 people when seating was not provided.[5]
Mötley Crüe closed the first incarnation of The old Joint in the final concert on February 7, 2009.[6]
The new Joint doubled in size with 4,000 seats and opened on April 17, 2009, with a concert by Avenged Sevenfold.[7]
In 2010 and 2011 it hosted the Dew Tour Championships as the venue for Skateboard Street. Chaz Ortiz won in 2010 and Ryan Decenzo won in 2011.
In 2016, Morrissey played at the venue, selling out tickets in just under a day.
