Time to Rock with Gene Simmons at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp

We have previously reported about other exciting Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camps held around the world. For 2014, it’s another stellar line-up including rock band KISS superstar Gene Simmons.

Gene Simmons is a both rock legend and media mogul and be the mentor of “The Gene Simmons Rock Camp™.” Simmons will also jam with campers with fellow rock star friends at Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp.

It’s a great opportunity to meet and play with a legend like Gene Simmons. He is just as big a celebrity today as he was back when playing bass guitar for rock band KISS.

KISS was formed in New York City way back in 1973. The iconic rock group is clearly one of the most successful rock bands of all time and was recently nominated this year for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame. Gene Simmons was the band’s original bass player and co-founder, in addition to being credited with writing many of the band’s chart topping songs such as: “Nothing To Lose,” “We Are One,” Shout It Out Loud,” and “Domino.”

In addition to Simmons, the music camp will also feature Tommy Thayer (KISS), Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), Steve Stevens (Billy Idol), and Dave Ellefson (Megadeth).

The above music stars will help out camp musicians of all levels to form bands, learn or perfect their knowledge of an instrument, and even write and record a song. It’s an amazing musical experience that should not be missed.

The four-day Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp which runs between March 27-30, 2014 will climax with a live performance at the House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Gene Simmons last took part in a fantasy camp back in October 2012, which was a huge success and very popular with the camp attendees.

When asked about his involvement next year, Gene Simmons replied, “Mentoring adult and young rockers at the fantasy camp has always been an amazingly rewarding experience for me. I enjoy teaching and handing over lessons I’ve learned from the business to musicians and upcoming talent.”

Gene owns his own record label – Simmons Records plus is recognized for his innovative marketing of his band and his TV series, “Gene Simmons Family Jewels.”

Space for the 2014 Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp is extremely limited, so act fast if you want to jam with Gene Simmons and the others.

Las Vegas never stops amazing people. It’s an endless parade of new hotels and resort casinos, entertainment, restaurants and nightclubs. Hakkasan Las Vegas is next to dazzle Vegas visitors.

Hakkasan Las Vegas is the new mega-nightclub / restaurant complex that can be found in the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino.

The new building opened earlier this year in spring and continues to be a popular hotspot for both Vegas locals and Sin City visitors. The restaurant and nightclub can be accessed from the MGM’s casino floor across from the Poker Room.

This highly anticipated, five story high venue opened as a bold evolution of the prestigious global restaurant brand into an all-encompassing nightlife experience. It’s the ideal blend of modern Cantonese cuisine, world-class mixology and exclusive collaborations with in-demand artists across numerous genres.

Hakkasan was first founded in London back in 2001 and has become one of the most successful modern Chinese restaurant concepts to become a worldwide fine-dining brand. Worldwide locations include London Hanway Place, London Mayfair, Miami, Abu Dhabi, Mumbai, Dubai, New York and now Las Vegas.

The five-level space at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino offers patrons a wide variety of environments to enjoy such as the restaurant, private dining room, main nightclub, Ling Ling level, pavilion and mezzanine. The restaurant includes an interior design that’s surrounded in shades of blue signature to the brand.

Entering Hakkasan is like landing in a different world. Dining guests will be greeted by ambient sounds, scents and lighting, all key elements making up Hakkasan’s DNA, creating a relaxed mood and sensual vibe. The private dining room found on the second level overlooks the spacious main dining room.
