Rolling into today's Super Bowl festivities where they'll be featured in the KIA Optima commercial airing during the third quarter, the world's most notorious band has taken the world's most notorious city by storm. MÖTLEY CRÜE launched Las Vegas' first-ever hard rock residency with Mötley Crüe In Sin City at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel And Casino with the first two received sold-out shows.

The Mötley Crüe In Sin City experience got underway this weekend on Friday, February 3rd - also declared Mötley Crüe Day by Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman - as The Joint transformed into a rock n’ roll carnival extravaganza bringing in elements of Mötley Crüe's arena show, including Tommy Lee's 360 drum coaster and the biggest lighting and sound production ever brought into The Joint, including their over the top signature pyrotechnics which fittingly incorporated a Vegas feel. The shows are produced and promoted by AEG Live.

From costuming - which included Vince Neil's illuminated poker-hand belt buckle and rogue carnival styled seat ushers - to showgirl dancers, female aerialists, little people, macabre clowns and stilt walkers, each element dazzled the eye throughout. In addition to Mötley's high-octane numbers, which included ‘Kickstart My Heart’, ‘Shout At the Devil’, ‘Saints Of Los Angeles’, ‘Same Old Situation’ and ‘Girls, Girls, Girls’, the band also dedicated a portion of the show to an acoustic performance. High above the audience on a floating circular platform, they performed stunning renditions of ‘Without You’, ‘On With The Show’, and ‘Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)’. Other songs in the set included rare live gems ‘Piece Of Your Action’ and ‘Afraid’, which haven't been performed live in over 10 years.

On Saturday night, February 4th, Mötley was joined by their friend Jacoby Shaddix of PAPA ROACH who jumped on stage for ‘Smokin' In the Boys Room’. Rumor has it that there will be more guests jamming with Mötley Crüe throughout the residency.

Vice President of Entertainment, Hard Rock Hotel And Casino Paul Davis commented: "The Mötley Crüe In Sin City residency transformed the town, not only the Hard Rock Hotel, It's never been done like this before."

Billboards on the world-famous Sunset Strip in Los Angeles and the 15 Interstate upon entering Vegas beckoned fans to the Hard Rock. Upon entering the casino lobby, Vince Neil's custom 1932 Ford Coupe hot rod was displayed and poker players found themselves gaming on Mötley Crüe branded tables. Even maid service signs for hotel guest rooms indicated cleanup for ‘Home Sweet Home’.

Confirmed Mötley Crüe dates at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino are: February 8th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 17th, 18th and 19th. Tickets starting at $45 (plus applicable service fees), can be found on sale at The Joint box office and Ticketmaster.

In the spot, titled Drive The Dream, the new 2012 Optima Limited races through a Gen X couple's wildest thoughts as they sleep, including: Victoria's Secret Angel Adriana Lima waving the checkered flag at a speedway; an in-your-face MÖTLEY CRÜE concert; mixed martial arts legend Chuck Liddell battling in the ring; a heroine and hunk on horseback in a romance novel setting; champion bull rider Judd Leffew taming a bucking rhinoceros; and a fairy tale ending.
