Below is a recap of the events and celebs that came to party at the HRH:

Friday: The Killers at The Joint

The Vegas hometown band, The Killers, de-Flowered the New Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas to a sold out show of 4,000 fans.

Saturday: Hart & Huntington Tattoo Co. opening and Avenged Sevenfold at The Joint

Carey Hart opened the doors to his famed Hart & Huntington Tattoo Co with friends Benji Madden and members of Avenged Sevenfold on hand to support. TV host Sal Masekela was first to go under the needle, as he got a tattoo on camera for his show the Daily 10.  Later that evening Hart, Madden and company set up shop in the Joint to watch fan favorites Avenged Sevenfold played the last show of their nearly 2 year tour to another sold out house.  The crowd energy shot through the new venue with all the right elements of a true rock show including pyro effects, fireworks, mosh pits and crowd surfing. Rock legend Vinnie Paul from Pantera was spotted taking in the action.  After the show, everyone joined Hart in his rock club Wasted Space for a late night after party.

Snoop Dogg set off the 6th season of Rehab, the world famous Sunday pool party at the Hard Rock with over 3,000 people in attendance – Celebrity partiers included: New Orleans Saints Reggie Bush and Sedrick Ellis, Brody Jenner and adult film star Mary Carey. Benji Madden was spotted chilling in Carey Hart’s cabana along with M. Shadows and The Rev from Avenged Sevenfold.

Sunday: Paul McCartney show

Paul opened with “Drive My Car” and played for more than two hours to a sold-out house, before getting back onstage for two encores. Fans were so excited to see him they starting lining up outside the Joint at midnight and were frantically searching for copies of the Hard Rock Hotel’s in-house magazine HRH, which featured Paul McCartney on the cover and one of the only magazine interviews McCartney granted – sure to be a collector’s item!
