| - The last time I attended a concert here was over 10 years ago. That was when The Joint was a dinky little place that probably broke several fire codes because everyone was shoved into such a small space, smaller than other venues in Vegas. I recently came here for a Nine Inch Nails concert and was preparing for the worst, but to my surprise the venue's renovation has made it 100 times better than it was 10 years ago.
The Joint is well-ventilated, spacious, and has multiple floors. There's a large bar area located in the back on the ground floor. Cocktail waitresses also go around the venue throughout the event to take drink requests. Entering and exiting can sometimes be chaotic, but it wasn't a problem here. Even leaving from the parking garage is a smooth process. Security guards direct the traffic, allowing cars to get out of parking garage without creating a parking jam where you're stuck for hours.
In general the staff is organized, hospitable, and accommodating. One of my friends sprained her ankle weeks prior, so we were concerned she'd have to stand the entire time on her crutches. We were informed by staff that the section designated for wheelchairs was full; however, they found a spot for us next to that section and provided my friend with a chair to sit on. They told us it was "the best they could do," but it was more than what we asked for.
