Aerosmith Announces 'Deuces Are Wild' Las Vegas Residency
Thursday, August 16, 2018 at 12:01AM Aerosmith made the rumors official and will launch their Deuces Are Wild residency in Las Vegas starting in early April. There are dates through July and the shows will take place at the Park Theatre at Park MGM.
I'll be going to a show in April, pending I can get tickets. They go on sale next Friday and I'll be sitting on my computer, credit card in hand and ready to buy! Tickets range from $75 to $750. I won't be buying at that upper level... because that's insane.
I wish Aerosmith would have performed "Deuces Are Wild" during their Today Show appearance. Too obscure I guess.

You can call me Jaded, but there'd be no love happening in any elevator, I would like to miss a thing (and the song,),I could give a rats ass if the dude looks like a lady or is Crazy, I don't want to be taken to the other side or tried by a Hangmans Jury. (I would however Let The Music Do The Talking while smokin tea with Mama Kin)
Alas, seeing as this will never happen, I guess I should just Dream On?
I'd like to go, esp. if it features the classic songs. And I am willing to pony up for a good seat if it is more about the older stuff and less about the newer.
I mean, who will pay those kinds of prices to fill a place that seats 5.2K for those amounts of dates? And, just to be fair, I bet it will be packed or nearly packed each night. But not always with fans of the "good stuff" (see, I am huffing what you are offering, Bklallday). No, a lot of comps and high rollers will get in for free. I also know . . . that is the way the system works. I am not slagging on that either. But I figure a lot of fans will be spending a lot of money to sit next to a lot of people who really don't care all that much. And, again, that happens in a lot of situations. So I go back to a more essential point: I hope they give the fans what they want for the prices they are charging.
And I will add one final gripe: saying that this residency gives you a chance "to do things you can't do on tour" is played out and stupid. Yes, most bands who do residencies say that. But that is _barely_ the case. If anything, it gives them a chance to sit in one place, draw fans to them, and provide _slightly_ better visual shows in a town that is packed with attractions (a larger scale version of what happens in Branson). That isn't a magical arena where dolphins and unicorns play the congas while Tyler does back-flips into the mouth of an Orca. I wish all bands--KISS, GnR, Lep, etc.--who do these sorts of things would drop that as a selling point. I find it disingenuous, esp. for a band that says it will go back to its roots with this residency. Back to your roots . . . in Vegas?!?! No, to where Elvis and Wayne Newton (again, bigger scale Branson) decided to park it once the lure of road was a bit less alluring.
And for the same reasons, strangely. Namely, that they have fans that will pay. So, as a fan, I am going to wait and see what I get for what I pay. I hope it turns out to be worth my money. I really do.
