Prince

Prince, the artist formerly known as Roger Nelson, is now setting up home in Las Vegas to headline at the Club Rio every Friday and Saturday for the foreseeable future. The club will be renamed 3121 after Prince's most recent album for the late-night concerts, which will begin later this month. Prince will use his new Las Vegas club to highlight new talent every Wednesday and he'll stage a Latin club night every Thursday. There is a website here for the new club, including ticket information - $125 for general admission.
