On Monday, Oct. 29, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas and Clark County will declare Paradise Road to be known as Paradise City Road in honor of rock legends Guns N' Roses' first-ever residency, Appetite for Democracy, at The Joint. The street will pay homage to Guns N' Roses' record-breaking hit "Paradise City," through the band's extended run Wednesday, Oct. 31 – Saturday, Nov. 24.

At 2:30 p.m., members of Guns N' Roses will celebrate with a renaming event in Hard Rock Hotel's parking lot in front of Paradise Road, next to the main valet entrance. Clark County Commissioner Mary Beth Scow will declare the street be temporarily known as Paradise City Road and present the Guns N' Roses band members with an official street sign. They will be joined by Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's Chief Operations Officer Jody Lake, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's Vice President of Entertainment Paul Davis, AEG Live Las Vegas' Vice President John Nelson and AEG Live Las Vegas' Marketing Director Suzanne Richardson. During the event, the group will address the crowd and pose for photos.

Las Vegas will never be the same as the world's most iconic rock band, Guns N' Roses, takes over Sin City with their first-ever residency Appetite for Democracy at The Joint inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The band will play 12 shows starting Wednesday, Oct. 31 through Saturday, Nov. 24.

Each night, the band will perform an electrifying show featuring a set list created exclusively for The Joint. Appetite for Democracy will span the band's biggest hits from their debut album Appetite for Destruction (1987) through their platinum-selling record Chinese Democracy (2008). Exact details about the show are being kept under wraps but fans can expect the raw and gritty heavy metal Guns N' Roses is known for along with a few surprise elements. Produced exclusively by AEG Live, Appetite for Democracy is unlike any show the band has ever done before or will ever do again.
