You can always expect a good show at a casino resort and some of the casinos lately have really been going all the way to keep the players happy. The news that KISS were going to be arriving at the Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa to sign autographs for fans got me thinking. Who is appearing on the strip these days. It is certain that the KISS appearance is a pretty specific audience and I wonder if the fans will be turning up in full makeup and outfits to match their idols.
