According to Variety, Nellys Night in Vegas will be shot in Planet Hollywoods Las Vegas hotel and will feature performances, guest appearances, a gaming element and Nellys own house band. “I was thinking about what was missing on TV, and when this idea came about, it made sense for me,” Nelly said. “We do have talk shows, but no one’s speaking from the pop culture perspective. Let’s get a little more pop, a little more edge, a little bit younger, and not look like you’re sitting in the principal’s office. A number of variety shows are launching this season.
