Does anybody have the details of the "Aftershow"?
Where is it? How do you get in? Can anybody go? How much to get in? Thanks!!!!

From what i've heard, it's a tiny jazz lounge adjacent 2 the club. There's a 20 bucks cover charge, and u have 2 leave Prince's main set b4 the end of the concert 2 get in line 4 the aftershow bcause of limited seating. I may not do the aftershow when I go, unless there is somewhere I can hear the jazz without being locked into the place. I heard he played some Stevie Wonder at one aftershow so if u can swing it, u should, but don't forget it starts at 3am and goes 2 5am! It's an all night party there I guess, have a blast!

Wow, thanks. That's the most helpful answer I've gotten so far! I have asked many and no one seems to know Ie., the box office, The Rio or even the Club manager??
How will you know when Prince will be ending his set? My girlfriend and I are going 3121 to see him perform Feb.9th and were thinking of trying to go to the aftershow. I hope it works out. Thanks again.

People were leaving an hour into the show on Saturday. One of you will have to skip a lot of the main show to get into the aftershow which is just silly IMO.

I think he should set up some sort of method for NPGMC members to purchase wristbands in advance (even if it was the day of in case he didn't want to commit to an aftershow) and then nobody would have to worry about leaving the concert early.

no problem, but keep this in mind. i haven't been there yet, i'm goin' 2 Vegas in March regardless of Prince, i hope 2 see him but i have 7 times already so it won't matter if i don't. i was just passing along the info from all the reviews i've read here and on housequake.com. i got a friend in Vegas who i'm trying 2 get 2 go 2 a Wed. show being that it's free 4 locals on that day, i'll let u know how that pans out if he ever does me that favor. good luck!

p. s. check out purple reign(prince tribute band) also if u can, awesome band!(monte carlo, house of blues mandalay bay etc.)

supermom said:

oh, from what i've heard, Prince's main set is from 12 midnight 2 2:30 am, so at 2:10 am, make ur way 2 the aftershow line!(or ask 3121 staff what your best move is at that time)
i would like a full review of ur experiences there when u get back, if u don't mind!
peace!

supermom said:

there are multiple threads on the details of the aftershow, which probably accounts for the low # of responses that you've received. We went to the 12/29 show and wrote detailed info on the 3121 experience - including the aftershow:

Thanx. All these resposnes have been very helpful. There is sooooo much info. on this site, frankly it is hard to read it all... appreciate any info!!
Fellow Prince Fan/Lover!!

Also, I'd B glad 2 write a review... I'll b there 2/9.

He played from roughly 12:20 until 1:45 on Saturday and people were leaving for the aftershow by 1:30. They ended up not missing much because he played such a short show but I still say it's silly to leave a show an hour in for the right to pay to see another show.

lovemachine said:

I agree. It killed me to leave the show early but I was happy to learn I didn't miss much. But I was on a mission to get in that jazz cuisine room!!! They need to come up with some process where you don't have to leave a show early, that sucks!

supermom another tip!
while ur in Vegas, check out Madame Tousaidds wax museum in the Venetian, i think, or the aladdin, one of those
anyway, they have a PRINCE WAX FIGURE!
it's opposite 2Pac and Madonna, awesome!
it's definetly worth checking out.
peace

supermom said:

That's so cool. I'll have to get my picture taken next to the wax figure... since I can't bring a camera into the club and get the real thing! Maybe I'll try and fool my friends! Ha and Peace 2 U!

supermom said:

I saw a picture of the wax figure at Housequake and it's HORRIBLY bad. It looks nothing like him. I've seen the one at the London place and it at least looks a little like him but the this one is really bad.

In the club, just use ur cell phone 4 pix.
The wax figures are awesome there, don't listen 2 this person!
they let u take pix in the museum.
i'm sure u'll love it!

I wouldn't recommend taking pics in the club, even with your cell phone, unless you want to take the chance of getting scolded, kicked out or having your phone confiscated. You're asked not to take them, you're in Prince's 'house' and I think his request should be honored.

Wax figures give me the heebie jeebies and I do think the one of Prince is pretty bad. If you're into that stuff, then sure go ahead, especially if you're wanting to get a fun picture.

Also, the aftershow cover was $50 last weekend, not $20.

FrankieDJ said:

I couldn't find the ones posted on Housequake but I did find this one on photobucket (not sure if it's Vegas or London) but does anyone think this looks at all real?

Yikes, that's scary and I don't think it looks anything like him.

thanks 4 ruining it 4 the people who haven't seen it, u idiot!
wanna let people decide 4 themselves?
that's only his face w/ 2 girls!
the purple trenchcoat, the stratocaster guitar:
it's awesome, don't listen 2 butt machine!

lovemachine said:

Uh, I said that bcause others were allowed 2 take cell phone pix previously there. Prince does not rule the world, i'll do whatever i please 4 125 and they won't do nothing about it, it aint Prince's house, it's a seedy Vegas club!
and its not New Years Eve anymore, 20 bucks 4 the aftershow again, i'd bet on it
PKidwell, could u weigh in here? U no better than i do. Maybe u can set this straight.

I have taken a picture with that Prince wax figure and just like in the picture it looks nothing like Prince. They didn't do a very good job.

Frankie you work for the museum because you have pushed it in several threads now? Calling people idiot's and stuff over a really bad wax figure seems odd.

FrankieDJ said:

Dude, what is your problem?? What an attitude and you have the nerve to call someone an idiot for posting a pic of that crappy wax figure?!?


You are not allowed to take pics in the club, even with a cell phone. You might be able to sneak one, but folks have been escorted out or have been told to put them away. Prince doesn't rule the world, but he does rule that club, he's leased it which makes it his house.

I was THERE just this past weekend and the aftershow was $50. Now that it's getting more crowded, they might keep the price higher to bring in some more cash for the restaurant. Plus, it might help keep out the folks who aren't hardcore.

Yeah, something is definitely weird, maybe he's only 16 & it's his first job.
