I think 90 mins overall duration is the maximum...could be even shorter imo...so the BIGGEST hits only most probably, which would mean no Save me or Love Kills, and no One Vision perhaps...I agree WWTLF or TSMGO will stay, But not both...the rest of the list sounds right on to me... i hope we’ll have at least audio recordings... I wonder what the theater policy re phones and taking pics is... I kind of forgot about the fact that casino shows always tend to be shorter than regular concerts until the other day when I was looking up info to help plan my trip to see QAL in Las Vegas. I was reading reviews of other shows at the Park Theater and found some people complaining about how short the Bruno Mars show was. One person said it was only 75 minutes! That person was furious because he/she had paid for a very expensive VIP seat and felt that the length of the show should have been posted so people would know before buying tickets. I recall that in the past there were some Atop posters who were very upset that a casino show that was part of Adam's solo tour was shorter than the usual tour show. They felt that the list of shows on the fan site should have noted that casino shows were shorter. I guess it is standard policy that casinos do not list the length of their shows. Do they require the artists not to mention the length as well? I'm curious. Anyone know? I hope QAL is 90 minutes or more, if allowed... The Park Theater prohibited items list says: No cameras with interchangeable/detachable lens or external flash (no professional photography) No Audio/Visual recording devices (includes GoPro, Google Glass, Spectacles, etc) Also, on a general Las Vegas info site I saw a comment that the Park Theater has a no phones held up to film policy. No idea how accurate that is. peace&love Same stated rules as every show at every location. Difference is how much the different venues enforce the rules. The casinos seem to be more strict about enforcing the rules. In 2014 at the Hard Rock, they were not letting anybody near the front video with a phone or anything else. I expect the same will be true for people on the floor at these concerts. I expect that people sitting further back will more likely be able to do video. I expect that the best place to video would be first row balcony, half way between aisles. Less likely to be seen by security there.

Probably the same rules as most places. Seems like TALC had some problem bringing in their camera at Hard Rock and had to go to plan B. There are some vids on YT from Cher, Ricky Martin and Bruno Mars, etc. Most look like taken with phones. DancyGeorgia will capture audio at her shows 14th and 15th. Riddle and TALC will be there...so I imagine we'll get some good vids at some of the shows. I am there for the 5-8 shows, not the 14-15 show. Was decided by when my cat sitter is available. I am willing to lend equipment to anyone who wants to audio record any of the other shows. Send me a DM if interested.

Bringing over Q3s last post from yesterday... The casinos don't make any money on these residencies -- they are an expense. They are a way to make a casino a destination. My guess is >$1 million/show -- just based on what other artists have made. And generally they don't want "locals" at these shows. I'll quit looking at remaining seats on TM since it's not relevant to the band's grosses/net, etc. I'm pretty sure it will sell out. You know.....doing this again in the future would work really well especially for Brian and Roger. Big bucks...less tiring with minimal travelling, etc. It would be easy and convenient for Adam as well. They could just store the lights and staging in Vegas between Vegas legs...lol. I've noticed that a lot of the acts do a run of shows.....skip a month or few months...are are back again for more shows. If this round of 10 shows gets a lot of praise....and how could it not...would bode well to a return residency next year. I haven't kept up with Taylor Hicks...but I think I remember reading he made a few million dollars from Vegas shows.Taylor was playing in a Vegas lounge of about 250-300 (someone went to a show) people almost every night for a year or two. He made his money over a long period of time. Not exactly the same situation for QAL for 10 days in a 5K seat venue.

Thanks Lurleene. I assumed he was in a small venue and did many shows....but at least he wound up making a few million bucks. Better than some of the other Idols....but no comparison to Adam.
