Gwen Stefani Opens The Pearl
The Maloofs know how to work it. One of biggest features of the recently expanded Palms Hotel and Casino is their live music venue they are calling “The Pearl.” Not a reference to the mysterious hatch in Lost, The Pearl is said to be – nay, hyped to be – one of the best places to experience live performances of music anywhere… ever.
From the photographs, The Pearl definitely looks like a great venue with some very unique, very special features. There are old school theater boxes all around the upper deck above the lower crowd’s main seating area. I’m assuming they will be providing bottle service, et cetera, to VIP’s willing to shell out the coin for those seats – it would be like the modern rock show equivalent of having a server pouring champagne for you and your friends at the opera in Paris.
Not only is The Pearl looking really special in its design, the opening act this Saturday April 21st is, well, very special… Superbowl Half-Time Show special: Gwen Stefani. Now, for whatever extraordinary features this new theater is sporting, it has another less remarkable one – size. It’s just not that big at all. It’s not like Las Vegas has an overabundance of supersized concert halls – we perpetually have to compete with tourists for tickets when artists we want to see come to town – but that’s just how the Maloofs roll. They’re opening this smallish concert venue with Gwen Stefani performing. That’s like the hotel-casino version of a rich kid booking Van Halen to play his birthday party back in the 80′s. Ya gotta respect that!
In addition to the concert, there’s a full-on cadre of celebrities confirmed to be in attendance for the opening, complete with the red carpet treatment and paparazzi en masse, including yours truly, While Las Vegas Sleeps… We’ll try and get some good photos for the blog by Sunday morning for you.
