The Joint

Las Vegas


Concerts at the Hard Rock's scaled-down music venue, holding just 4000 people, feel like private shows, even when rock royalty like the Red Hot Chili Peppers are in town. Intimate acoustic shows happen inside Vinyl lounge (cover charge varies, from nothing up to $40), off the main casino floor.
