Neither the Rio or Ticketmaster have any more details yet and won't for a week or so (according to the Rio). http://www.ticketmaster.com/venue/82082 | |

first and foremost I am glad he got control of this situation and doing it his way. The only thing that kind of doesn't sit with me well is that the wonderfull mystery of where and when he's going to perform is gone. I imagine him sitting by the pool waiting for his next gig, "oh lawd time to school them again." So before you take this post as a complaint and say oh here's another one complaining, for the record I am not. I think it's great the way he arranged the whole project. It's just that I always like the mystery of this guy popping up all of the place and blessing us with his music, agree or disagree? | |

He's basically breaking all the preconceived notions of what playing in Las Vegas constitutes...It's a nice little curve pitch...And anyone who's giving shine to underground and leftfield acts like JDavey and Gnarles Barkely and The Roots can hardly be called a sell-out..I think people need to look at this in gray instead of black and white....

wow...very interesting. I think this is cool. Way better than a celine type gig in my mind. I dunno...I think this could work, course I don't know jack about owning and operating a club but...seems promising to me.
I wonder how long this is for and what does it mean for a tour? good luck P! I wish you all the best  "not a fan"  yeah...ok | |

Ok, here's a thought.....
Maybe his dates in this club will be warm up dates for an upcoming world tour, which has been speculated before? Seeing as though he's supposed to play the Super Bowl and tour next year, maybe Club 3121 is taking the place of Paisley Park gigs this time around Food for thought...

Is it going to be a Celine Dion type of thing, where he'll be doing this for 5 years or more, or it is for just a couple months....I have to know, because a sista is broke and I don't live anywhere near Vegas. Prince Rogers Nelson

well...from what we know...it's already not like a celine type thing as far as, Prince will be doing a club thing where as celine does a theater/autotorium type thing. we can only speculate at this point on how long it will be but...5 years?? I can't imagine it will be that long, but I'm sure if it's a success and makes money...it will continue. we can only wait and see. "not a fan" yeah...ok | |

Does anyone have an idea of how long this stint will be? I mean, will Prince be performing all winter? All year? How long is this going to be an option? "New Power slide...." |

Would be fine with me. Other than John Blackwell, no-one can hold a candle to the big Mr. B. | |

Me too!  I especially wonder whether there will be a tour next year that I can go to, or is this the only chance to see him for the foreseeable future? 'Cause if Vegas is the only option, then I have to start lookin for a 2nd job!  The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

It'd be cooler if it was the 4th day of November. 
The 9th seems pretty late considering the first two shows are supposedly on the 10th and 11th (although par for the course with Prince) I guess those shows will be full of celebrity insiders, VIPs and Las Vegasians (or whatever residents of Vegas are called.  )The check.

Well, whatever type of show it is, I hope Prince does some of the good, old dirty songs. If he's going to have Katt Williams as one of his special guests, he had better perform a "Do Me, Baby" or "Gett Off" or something. Katt Williams is hilarious, but he's got a mouth on him. "I don't drink Alize....but bitches do." From "Katt Williams: The Pimp Chronicles, Pt. 1" Prince Rogers Nelson

There doesn't seem to be any details yet how long this project is due to last. I suspect Prince will stick with it until he is bored - no long term contracts. People are always stuck between whether to fork out for a show they know is happening or wait for a possible tour to come that might be nearer and cheaper. Don't expect Prince to help you out on that conundrum, he really doesn't let fans in on longterm plans. But the fact is that he is getting older and his tours are likely to become less often and less wide-spread, so with that in mind I always think it is better the bird in your hand than 2 in the bush... | |

I don't think there's much to get. They are a cool set of dancers/backup singers to have on stage. they look good, they are young and full of energy...no biggie I guess. "not a fan" yeah...ok | |
