Said lead singer Joe
Elliott, "Five years ago, we played our first ever
residency in Las Vegas which was
relatively new ground for a rock band giving this kind of
experience...I have to say, we really enjoyed it! Being in one
place for the best part of a month is vastly different to our
normal city to city touring routine. Breaking this cycle adds
another element to the experience for both us and the audience. We
look forward to seeing you at the Zappos Theater this summer!"
"Planet Hollywood transformed the entertainment landscape in
Las Vegas with the first pop
residency," said Jason Gastwirth,
president of entertainment at Caesars Entertainment. "We are proud
to be at the forefront of rock residencies as well and treat the
city's visitors to a new type of experience with Def Leppard."
