BTS and their ARMY take over Las Vegas Strip with 'Permission to Dance on Stage' experiences

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — BTS, the Korean pop group with a massive global following, brings their "Permission to Dance on Stage" tour to Las Vegas this month, and the city is showing out for the group's dedicated fans who've dubbed themselves the BTS "ARMY."

ARMY will have plenty to do on the Las Vegas Strip for the two weeks that BTS is in town, including staying in BTS-themed rooms at some of the Strip's popular hotels. Those include:

• Bellagio Hotel
• ARIA Resort
• Vdara Hotel
• MGM Grand
• Mandalay Bay
• Park MGM
• NoMad Las Vegas
• The Mirage
• New York-New York Hotel
• Luxor Hotel
• Excalibur Hotel

Guests at these hotels between April 6 and April 18 will be able to deck their rooms out in discounted BTS swag, discounted merchandise, and exclusive keepsakes.

To kick off the BTS mania, the Bellagio will put on a fountain show dedicated to BTS and exclusively featuring their music on Thursday at 8 p.m. The new display features two of the group's major hits, "Butter" and "Dynamite." It will run in heavy rotation during BTS' Las Vegas show run and will become part of the fountain's ongoing show rotation thereafter, a Bellagio spokesperson said.
