PRINCE is fuelling reports he is set to sign a deal to perform regularly in Las Vegas, by placing graphics of the city's Rio resort on his website. On Monday (02OCT06), the PURPLE RAIN hitmaker posted a red and blue image in the shape of Rio on his www.3121.com website. A source close to Prince tells the Las Vegas Review Journal the singer is preparing to sign a mega deal to perform at the Rio. The insider says, "It looks good. Take it to the bank."

yes...and in case you have not been here in a while... we heard more news a few days later...from the same source.....

A spy tells me Prince will be in charge of booking Club Rio entertainment. Most nights there will be a $30 cover charge; on nights that he jams with the groups he brings in, the fee will rise to $125.

so nobody really knows for sure yet....but it looks like he will be here in Vegas doing something soon

So much for my wish to see him again in a concert venue for the second time. Las Vegas....uhm, too pricey for me.

So long as he still does world tours, I am OK with this. The majority of his fans won't be able to make the trip to Vegas just for him. Never the less, it is a lucritive deal for him. I think it's a great idea, but, he MUSt still tour regularly. Otherwise, he is just another Celine Dion.

i must say this is a cool way of making the announcment.

How the hell do you access 3121.com? I went there, and all I got was some lame-ass Flash graphic with music.

I guess life is a cabaret for Prince now.

OK i will make the trip out but I wanna make sure I go on a Prince night so hopefully those dates get announced and fans can get access through this new site.....

SELLOUT!

That's the "graphics of the Rio resort" and "red and blue image in the shape of Rio on his www.3121.com website" refered to in purplefrank's post. There is nothing more than that right now.

Yes he will be selling out every night. I also saw something that said he will doing this for six months of the year. So let's assume he will still be touring.

NOOOOO!
Prince is going to become Fat Elvis.

I liked the idea better when he was supposed to do an extended run at Empire Ballroom.

yep....mo money, mo money and he deserves every dollar

He didn't sell out the TWO Vegas shows in the spring. Not even close. One could assume that with cheaper tickets he MAY sell out but its far from a lock.

I'll probably just wait this out, I'll need a second job if I wanna go to Vegas!

yay!!...i'm sooo happy i live here n vegas...can't wait 2 c the new show!

It's the 3121 Cabaret. 3 Shows a night. 1 drink minimum. Must be 21 and over.

P has been yelling "Vegas" on his uh, unoffically documented live shows for years. He was trying to tell us something.

Now Purple Reign will have some competetion.

I'll bet somebody a beer you'll see these guys as one of P's bookings.
