Purely hypothetical of course, I don't think Mick could be cajoled into it.

But lots of examples of very big artists in the past that have had extended Vegas stays.

The Stones have travelled the world many times over to deliver their music to you.

Would you now, go to them?!

I'd be there in a heartbeat. Vegas is one of the cheapest flights you can get in the US.

For me, Vegas is about everything 'cheap', phony and trashy in America. I wouldn't go.

I recently saw McCartney at the MGM Grand. Previous show I saw at the same venue was the Stones, right after Jagger's Dad died.

But anyway, living 40 minutes by plane from the place, nothing about Vegas is cheap, trust me.

It wouldn't suit them at all.

I understand what you mean, but I think the actual tragedy here, is that it would suit them quite well. I mean, it's not as if they'd have to 'dream up' some kind of 'vegas-type-show'...they've been doing that since 1989 and are actually exceptionally good at it!

I would. And I so wish they would. But it seems unlikely...

I would love to go to a Stones Vegas gig..it would be interesting to see what would be on the T-shirt

In light of recent events, I think their next tongue design, wherever they play, should be a closed-mouth tongue like this one:

For the love of God, don't even joke about something like that

Phony and trashy yes but cheap, no way is vegas cheap.

I would go to see them I don't think they would play with a trashy set tho' I'm sure it would be very cool.

Having seen every show at the MGM Grand and the first Hard Rock show, Vegas is one of the best places in the states to see our boys. I believe it's the smallest 'barn' they play in the US. I've met the most people from all over the world at Stones shows there. With the plethora of taxi's and the monorail you can drink and not have worry about driving. Cheap? Well, it can be as cheap or expensive as you make it. I've become very good at squeezing 5-6 free beers with one twenty dollar bill at a sports bar video poker machine. If I have a choice of going to LA ( a 35 mile, 1-2 hr or more drive depending on traffic) or LV (3 1/2 hrs) to see a concert, it's LV. I make it a mini vacation. Plus tickets are usually cheaper, except the Stones, in Vegas.
