Most Americans might be used to hotels missing a 13th floor, but why do some casinos not have 40th floors?
Just as I was digging for a way to lead my first column of 2018, Joe Perrydelivered a late holiday gift.
In an interview last week with Boston NBC television affiliate WBTS, Perry, a bona fide guitar god as a founding member of Aerosmith, went off the charts when talking of the band’s plans for Las Vegas.
During the network’s “The Scene” segment, Perry told interviewer Jackie Bruno the band was prepping to play the Strip. Bruno had asked Perry about Steven Tyler’s health — Aerosmith’s exalted frontman had suffered what the band termed “unexpected medical issues” that forced the cancellation of four dates in Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Mexico in September and October.
“He’s doing great. He’s doing some solo shows once in a while,” Perry said. “We’re gearing up for a stand in Vegas.”
“So, a residency in Vegas?” Bruno asked. “This is going to be in 2018?”
Perry said, “Yeah. It’s going to start in the fall.”
Perry’s comment fits with tremors around the scene that Aerosmith has been enlisted for an extended engagement on the Strip. The likeliest — and thus far, only — venue I’ve heard is The Park Theater, with Aerosmith rolling in this fall ahead of the launch of Lady Gaga’s two-year residency at the theater beginning next December.
The Aerosmith residency, whatever its length, only reinforces The Park Theater’s already impressive — and wide-ranging — lineup for 2018, with Bruno Mars closing New Year’s weekend at the venue and Cher and Ricky Martin returning next year, too.
Entering 2018, extended engagements by “heritage” artists, those who span generations and have enough hits to fill 90-minute shows, remain the city’s hallmark.
