The quintet arrived on a double-decker bus, accompanied by a fan event hosted by Los Angeles radio personality Sean Valentine.For the band members, this residency represents a homecoming of sorts, as they had previously discussed the idea of performing in Las Vegas when they were younger. Donnie Wahlberg, the brother of A-list actor Mark Wahlberg, expressed the surreal nature of this opportunity, stating, "It's crazy. It's surreal. It's something we talked about when we were kids, 'One day when we're old and retired, we'll go there.' Well, we ain't retired, and we ain't retiring, and we're here."The extended residency of "The Right Stuff" is a testament to the enduring popularity of the New Kids on the Block and their ability to captivate audiences both old and new. With the added shows in 2026, fans will have even more chances to relive the nostalgia of the 90s and experience the magic of this iconic boy band on the Las Vegas Strip.
