The venue is scheduled to open its doors again on April 2009, after the renovation, the new Joint will be twice the size, and will feature a state of the art sound and lighting system, seven premiere VIP suites, making the new Joint even most refined, comfortable for artists and fans alike.

"As we prepare to close the doors to Las Vegas' first historic rock venue, we look forward to writing a new chapter in rock 'n' roll history with the opening of the new Joint. From The Rolling Stones to Foo Fighters, The Joint has played host to the world's greatest artists and bands and will be forever remembered as a venue that revolutionized the Las Vegas music scene." said Randy Kwasniewski, President and COO of Morgans Hotel Group Las Vegas and Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
