Is there a possibility that Paul McCartney's upcoming date at the New Joint at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas is the beginning of a longer engagement at that venue? John Katsilometes of the Las Vegas Sun suggests that in a column published Tuesday saying he asked someone from Concerts West/AEG Live, which books both the New Joint and the Coachella Festival, about this and wasn't given an outright denial. We wouldn't take that as a yes, though.

Well, how did you do in the Las Vegas McCartney ticket marathon Saturday? We did hear from a couple of people who got Vegas tickets. They told us it took repeated tries. We also heard people were still able to get tickets an hour after they went on sale. Ticketmaster's Ticket Exchange Area still has them, but prices go as high as $2,500.00 per ticket.
(2/7/2009) Paul McCartney will headline the grand opening weekend of The New Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas on April 19, it was announced late Friday. Tickets go on sale at noon Feb. 14.
"I'm looking forward to Rockin' The Joint!" said Paul McCartney.
The opening comes two days after McCartney's performance at the first night of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, CA.
"We are honored to have the multi-Grammy award winning artist and rock legend, Paul McCartney, launch us into a new era of rock 'n' roll at the all new Joint concert venue scheduled to open at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in April," said Randy Kwasniewski, President and COO of Morgans Hotel Group Las Vegas and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. "The New Joint will be the most sophisticated, intimate, and authentic venue in Las Vegas - unlike anything the city has ever seen."
"We could not have asked for a greater rock and roll legend than Paul McCartney to open The New Joint at Hard Rock Hotel," said President & Co-CEO of Concerts West/AEG Live John Meglen. "The booking of Paul McCartney reinforces The Joint's image as the legendary home of rock. The new venue will be the place for artists to play and fans to experience a concert in Las Vegas."
