Slash was unaware that the media had covered the Vegas incident so thoroughly. He had asked to be admitted quietly, after a song or two was completed, taken to a table and that's it.
More than one person at the Hard Rock Hotel had tried to help out. But as soon as Doug Goldstein (GN'R's manager) got wind of Slash wanting to attend, the announcement came that all former GN'R members would be denied admission. Anyone helping them see the show would be fired by Hard Rock.
