The original Joint opened in 1995.
It initially had capacity for 1,200 people, later increased to 2,000.
It closed in February 2009, and the new, larger Joint opened two months later.

The 1999 expansion added a nightclub, Baby's, located in the Hard Rock's basement.
Ownership of Baby's was split between the resort and Los Angeles nightclub operator Sean MacPhearson, who operated Baby's as well.
Baby's closed in February 2004, for a $6 million renovation to take place.
It reopened as Body English in May 2004.
Peter Morton named the new nightclub after an Edward Ruscha painting with the same name, which he came upon while collecting artwork in New York.
Body English was designed by Kelly Wearstler.
Hard Rock executive Harry Morton, son of Peter Morton, said, "We wanted it to resemble a 1960s British rock star's mansion.
There's a big move to get ultra-modern.
We wanted a throwback."
Attendees to the club's opening included Robin Leach, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick.
The club offered memberships at a cost of $25,000 a year.

A 5,000 sq ft (460 m²) club, with occasional live performances, opened in July 2008, under the name Wasted Space.
It was designed by Carey Hart and was a joint venture between him and the Hard Rock.
Other investors included Benji and Joel Madden, as well as Jason Giambi.
Wasted Space had capacity for 400 to 500 people, and it had a less-strict dress code compared to other Las Vegas nightclubs.
Wasted Space occupied space previously held by the Viva Las Vegas Lounge.
In its first year, Wasted Space hosted independent musicians on Tuesday nights before largely scrapping such acts in 2009.
The club subsequently sat vacant on Tuesday nights, as it often did on Mondays.
Wasted Space would also showcase local musicians on Friday nights.
A renovation in 2009 tore down walls to expose the club's lounge to the casino area, in an attempt by the resort to increase its liquor profits.

Another nightclub, Vanity, opened with a New Year's Eve celebration on December 31, 2009.
Vanity was built on the second floor of the HRH Tower.
It included two seating areas, and an outdoor terrace overlooking the resort's pool area.
The club's centerpiece was a $1 million floor-to-ceiling chandelier with 20,000 crystals.
Vanity was owned by Jason Giambi and Cory McCormack.
The club was created by Charles Doell and Mister Important Design.
Vanity measured 14,000 sq ft (1,300 m²), and numerous mirrors were located throughout the club for patrons to check their appearance.
The club had a theme of self-importance, with McCormack saying, "Vanity will cater to your ego, where the most important person in the club is you."
The women's bathroom at the club consisted of 2,000 sq ft (190 m²) and included several vanity stations, as well as a $40,000 chandelier.

Body English closed with a New Year's Eve party on December 31, 2009, and was only occasionally used for special events over the next few years.
It was announced in August 2010 that Wasted Space would close some time before spring 2011.
It ultimately closed on September 19, 2010, with Alien Ant Farm as the final performance.
Wasted Space was closed to become the site of the Hard Rock's race and sports book.

Another music venue, Vinyl, opened in August 2012, taking the former site of the Hard Rock Lounge.
Vinyl had capacity for 650 people, and it often featured after-shows following other performances held at the Joint, as a way of keeping customers at the resort longer.
Vinyl was described by the Hard Rock as "an incubator for young bands" who could later go on to perform in the Joint.
Michael Grimm had a short-lived residency at Vinyl during 2015.
A musical, Raiding the Rock Vault, premiered at Vinyl in March 2017.
The venue also hosted stand-up comedians such as Tom Green, Andrew Dice Clay, and Steve-O. Drummer Vinnie Paul had his final performance at Vinyl in June 2018, five days before his death.

Body English reopened in December 2012, before closing again in July 2015, to become a new entertainment space.
In May 2016, the Hard Rock announced plans for a male revue show, Magic
