The Hard Rock Café Las Vegas Strip is located at 3771, Las Vegas Blvd South in the Showcase Mall next to the MGM Grand. 

2023 heralds Raiding the Rock Vault’s 10th year in Las Vegas. During this time it performed its 1,500th show, won an unprecedented Best Of Las Vegas for 9 consecutive years, and received continual 5-star ratings on TripAdvisor.

“We are excited to be back on the Las Vegas Strip in a venue that is a perfect fit for the show and our partners,” said Producer Sir Harry Cowell.

Raiding the Rock Vault tells the story of classic rock from the 1960s to the 1980s presented by rock stars who performed them.

The production brings the history of rock ‘n’ roll to life, featuring classic anthems by the biggest acts in music, including The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Free, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Boston, Kansas, Aerosmith, Van Halen, AC/DC, Pat Benatar, Foreigner, Heart, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, and more.

Tickets start $49 plus tax and fees. A Rock Star Meet and Greet upgrade is available for $100 and includes a meet and greet and photo opportunity with the rock stars prior to the show a show program. You can add the Rock Star VIP Meet and Greet to any ticket level.  Meet and Greet time is 7:00 pm. Ticket buyers also benefit from a 20% discount at the Hard Rock Café. All Prefered seats come with high-top tables, front VIP sections are couches. Performance dates Friday, Saturday, and Tuesday at 8:00 pm.

NOTE: advance ticket holders will be contacted by the ticket outlet they bought tickets and informed about the move in the next days. The last show at the current venue (the Duomo inside the Rio) will be April 11.

Conceived 10-years ago by legendary Manager Simon Napier-Bell (Yardbirds, Marc Bolan, Wham!, George Michael), Simon’s now famous observation was, “the idea for Raiding the Rock Vault came to me when I was sitting rather full of champagne late one night in a rock club in Bangalore, India. The covers band was playing one classic rock song after another. I realized this was the greatest set of songs any band could ever do. So why not put together a band of great named rock musicians and play them for the world as a complete show.”

Enter partner Sir Harry Cowell, who assembled a band, a production that included a visual media history of rock, and a crew that has been loyal and committed to the show ever since.

The first performance was in Los Angeles at the Mayan Theatre on November 29, 2012.

In short order, Sir Harry secured a residency at LVH that debuted on March 9, 2013 to great success and the journey has happily continued, winning an unprecedented 8 consecutive Best Of Las Vegas, voted by readers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal and consistently a top-ranked show on TripAdvisor.

“It is rewarding to reflect on the evolution of the show over the decade, the partners who supported us along the way, the fan base that increases year-in year out and become an established part of the Vegas entertainment fabric. It just feels like home,” says Sir Harry.
