Last night I hit the Vegas Strip for what I call the "Best Music Production Show Of All Time"
Raiding The Rock Vault has been voted "Best Of Las Vegas" for 10 years in a row, will be closing on December 30th later this year.
Let's just say that Raiding The Rock Vault lit up the Hard Rock Cafe last night in front of a packed Hard Rock Cafe audience, with a thunderous celebration of classic rock as only this show does!

Fans packed the intimate 250-seat venue to witness a high-voltage performance that paid tribute to the greatest rock anthems from the 1960s through the 1980s. The energy was electric from the first opening song to the final encore.
Last night's cast of world-renowned rock stars was like a who's who in the music industry!

These awesome rock veterans brought the house down with hits from The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC, Journey, and many more. Their chemistry on stage and sheer musical prowess reminded fans why Raiding The Rock Vault has been a staple of Vegas entertainment for over a decade!
After 12 years and over 1,800 performances, Raiding The Rock Vault will take its final bow in Las Vegas on December 30th. Producer Sir Harry Cowell cited declining tourism and attendance as reasons for the curtain call, especially noting the impact of fewer Canadian and European visitors—key demographics for the show. But this isn’t the end: the production plans to tour North America, the U.K., and Europe in 2026.
A Legacy That Won’t Fade
Launched in 2012 as a scripted rock musical, Raiding The Rock Vault evolved into a pure celebration of rock history. It’s been voted “Best Musical” and “Best Tribute Show” multiple times by the Las Vegas Review-Journal and consistently ranked as the No. 1 performance on TripAdvisor.
As the final shows approach, fans are encouraged to grab tickets while they last. Whether you’re a lifelong rocker or just discovering the magic of classic rock, Raiding The Rock Vault is a must-see experience before it leaves the Strip for good. And that's December 30th. There are only 18 more shows till the final curtain falls. So, you'd better get your tickets, like now! < Tickets >

I've seen the show over three dozen times in the years since its debut. It's like a new experience every time I see it! The Rock Vault will be missed by many, including this fan and journalist.
I'll see you at the final show on December 30th!
