Additionally, the Backstreet Boys, along with Live Nation Las Vegas and Caesars Entertainment, will present the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada (BGCSNV) with a final donation check at the event. Since the residency’s premiere in 2017, $1 of every ticket purchased to “Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life” has been donated back to BGCSNV. The event will be held on the front steps of Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino lining the Las Vegas Strip at 4 p.m. on Friday, 12 April, which also happens to be the 20th anniversary of the release of their mega hit, “I Want It That Way.” |
