Like this but with more fire, girls, and primal screams surrounding you.

The Hard Rock's gonna be Motley Crüe's Frankenstein beginning today when the Feelgood hands of doctors Neil, Lee, Sixx, and Mars launch their much anticipated three week residency. The band is known for their over-the-top live shows anyhow, but the Crue is kicking it up a hundred notches for The Joint.

Not many intimate details about the actual show have been released to date other than that fans should expect a full-blown Cirque meets rock concert. Band members have hinted at transforming every inch of the Joint into performance space rather than being limited to playing the stage at one end. We're picturing Tommy Lee banging away above us, below us, and to both sides of us. In an interview with the Las Vegas Sun, Vince Neil revealed more elements of the two hour show: pyrotechnics, aerialists, strippers dancers, wild video displays, a rollercoaster drum set and Little Crüe.

The show will include a rare acoustic set from the boys but most of the show will be about loud, rowdy rock. For Crüe fans that saw the Carnival of Sins’ tour, Neil set expectations that the Sin City residency is that 2005-2006 show times 100. And you thought we were exaggerating with the number of notches.

The band won't just be consuming the Joint as their Carnival of Sins influence will be seen all over the casino. Not just with a guitar and drumstick on display behind glass, either. Yes, Vince Neil’s 1932 Ford Coupe will be displayed at the main entrance but beyond that carnival announcers, stilt walkers, aerialists, balloonists, clowns, and funhouse mirrors will moonlight from Circus Circus make a spectacle of the casino floor.

The Hard Rock's restaurants will also show off their Crüe wikipedia knowledge. 35 Steaks and Martinis will feature:
· Smokin’ In the Boys Room Baked Oysters (Smokey Applewood Bacon, Boursin Cheese, Spinach)
· Down At The Whiskey Drunken Ribeye (Jack Daniels Marinated & Grilled, Spicy Sofrito Sauce, Oven Roasted Fingerling Potatoes)
· Sticky Sweet Chocolate Mousse (Caramel Brûlée Core, Chocolate Flames)
· Shout at the Devil, a fiery martini with a blazing finish
· Kick Start My Heart, a twisted take on a Sparkplug espresso shooter.

It just wouldn't be complete if Pink Taco didn't show off their naming talents:
· SIXX-teen.99 All the Pink Tacos You Can Eat Panuchos, the Signature Pink Taco stuffed with black beans and topped with grilled chicken, salsa arbol, pink pickled onions and avocado.
· Live Wire, Tequila and Pomegranate Sunset
· Louder Than Hell, a Habanero Infused Tequila Shooter.

Yet no Girls, Girls, Girls ménage à trois of tacos? Missed opportunity.

Tickets are $41-$81 and are still available for this weekend's opening shows over at the Ticketmaster. If you expect to Shout at the Devil in excess, room and show packages start at $319. Call 800.343.4346 and mention code MCCORCH for the two orchestra seat package or code HMCGA for two general admission tickets.

The circus and sexy doesn't end after the last note, either. Neil revealed plans of several after parties that may be the best show of all.

And, to prove their influence stretches beyond just the halls of the Hard Rock, the mayor has proclaimed today Motley Crüe Day in Las Vegas. If you see a couple extra strippers, clowns, and circus freaks around The Strip today, that could be but probably isn't why. VegasChatter will be in attendance at tonight's opening show, so expect a full report of all the madness right here next week. Unless we sneak into an after party and are never heard from again.
