Rush to Perform Live at the Mandalay Bay Resort May 10

Rush will be performing live at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, May 10 at 8:00 pm.

Formed in Toronto, Ontario in 1968, the Canadian rock band Rush has influenced modern musicians such as Metallica, the Smashing Pumpkins and Primus as well as progressive metal bands such as Dream Theater and Symphony X.  The band has become known for their instrumental virtuosity, complex compositions and eclectic lyrical motifs which draw from such topics as science fiction, fantasy, libertarian philosophy and addresses humanitarian, social, emotional and environmental concerns.

The band has received multiple Juno Awards and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994 while individual members of the group have been recognized for their musical talent on their instruments, earning them several awards individually through magazine readers’ polls.

Rush has 24 gold records and 14 platinum records placing Rush fifth in place, behind the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Kiss and Aerosmith for the most consecutive gold and platinum albums.  The band also falls 77th on the list in US albums sales.  They are tied with Nirvana, ZZ Top and Faith Hill, says the RIAA.

The 39 story luxury hotel casino, Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, stands on the Las Vegas strip in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The resort is owned by MGM Mirage and is connected via free tram to sister properties Excalibur and Luxor.  The hotel holds 3,309 hotel rooms and 135,000 square feet of casino space.  Adjacent to the hotel is the Mandalay Bay Convention Center with almost one million square feet of space, and the Mandalay Bay Events Center which hosts a variety of events, including the UFC MMA pay-per-view and concerts.
