On a thick, hot night, sixty-three stories above the junkies, flunkies, floozies, and tourists of Vegas, the stars are shining brighter inside than outside.

Surrounded by the petite and elite, the centerpiece of this rock feast is a 5-piece outfit that looks, moves, and sounds like a cover story, but enjoys merely an honorable mention. No stranger to sharing stages with legends, Jet Velocity and guests are owning the floor. Their dynamic frontman, Jason Ebs, strikes lightning into the room as Les Warner (The Cult) and Mikey Bones (Johnny Thunder, Kaiser) shake down Olympus, enhanced by vocal shamaness, Janea Chadwick-Ebsworth, with her elegance and strength, to create the perfect storm. Though the set list consists mainly of staple rock classics, such as “Life in the Fast Lane” (The Eagles) and “Here I Go Again” (Whitesnake), they tore the house down with Ozzy’s, “Crazy Train” and did better justice to KISS than KISS. Every now and again, they invited a special guest to stand in, take the mic or an axe, such as Oz Fox (Stryper) or Scott Griffin (LA Guns), and every time, they yielded with such grace and class not seen in decades — so desperately absent and so desperately needed, in a much colder, competitive industry today, it was worth the witness in and of itself.
