I don't believe it. She always shows up late, but she has never not showed up for an appearance. I have found no evidence of this and believe me I have looked everywhere for a review or report of her not appearing. Prince didn't appear until after midnight for his appearance at the club, I read in one review. The report I read said this is the biggest weekend of the year in Vegas due to betting on the Super Bowl. I think one of the people from one of the sights would have posted something in outrage by now.
EXTRA INFO on the concert:
I couldn't take it I called the Rio.
Ms, Hill did perform last evening although she was EXTRA late 2:30am in fact. The guy said he was told it was good, but a lot of people received refunds; because, she was so late.

REVIEW of the NO SHOW
I just got back from Vegas and my trip to see Lauryn Hill perform at the Rio club 3121 last night. And...she didn't perform at all. It was the most disappointed I have ever been in my whole life. I'll tell the whole story here for those interested.
I buy my tickets online through ticketmaster Friday night. They say the show starts at 8 and to pick up your tickets at 5. I reserve a hotel room at the Sahara for $114 and drive 4 hours Saturday morning to Vegas. I get my tickets at 5. I go eat then we get back at 8 and there are like 20 people in line already so we get in line. Then people start coming and coming and the line starts wrapping around the hallway and into the casino and its crazy. Then we find out the doors open at 8 and the show starts at 10. Well the doors didn't open until about 9:30. We stood and stood for an hour and half waiting just to get into the club. They finally let us in. I was lucky enough to be close enough to the front of the line to get a seat, but tons of people had to stand in the center area. The place is packed by like 10 - 10:30. I get drinks and keep waiting. Waiting and waiting. Its like 11:30 and I ask a waitress whats going on and she says Lauryn will be out at 12:30. I also heard that Prince usually doesn't get onsage until 12 so not to worry. Well, at about 12:05 they make an announcement on the loudspeaker about no flash photography, etc. and that the show was going to start in a few minutes. Well, time keeps passing, people keep leaving the club, and its 1am. No Lauryn. No info. Nothing. I start hearing rumors. One was that she wasn't even there yet and another was they had been doing her hair for 3 hours and it still wasnt ready. I ask another waitress and she says Lauryn will be out "any minute." Not the case...I waited until 1:45 and still none of the security gaurds would say anything about it. Finally, we leave to get our refunds only to realize that all those people who had been leaving the club (about 90% by this point) hadn't left the club at all....they just got back in that original line to get a refund. A line that I was now at the end of. So...finally a guy comes out and says "the show has been cancelled!" No really? He said to come back the next morning for refunds. I go back to my hotel room...an absolute reck...crying and just SO upset. It was the worst feeling thinking I was so close to seeing her, with the not-knowing killing me the whole night. I kept thinking that all this waiting would be worth it when she finally just came out and did the show. But it wasn't! I was so excited, too, to see her for my first time since I've been so close before. It was just SO disappointing.
I went back for my refund this morning...and the box office they told me to be at for 9am...was closed! I asked an employee and she said i could go to the one at the front desk. I went there only to find out they want me to call ticketmaster for my refund. So I call them. "sorry...can't help you...we haven;t heard anything about the show being cancelled. give us a call sometime next week and keep checking" I can't even tell you how upset I was (still am). I called the hotel manager, the nightclub manager and am trying desperately to get my expenses reimbursed. Who knows...maybe if I complain enough.
Anyway....I did manage to capture one picture of the marquee thing outside the club...not that it means anything now.

I will have to wait until I calm down and hear more about what actually happened before I comment on how this may or may not have impacted my opinion on Lauryn. I am half sad and half upset right now and cant even think straight. I think I put so much into coming which is why it hurts so much. I dropped everything: school, work, research, chores.....and paid so much money that I didn't even have. I picked out my clothes the night before and packed a bag with my camera and put in extra memory card to record it all to post on the board. I was also so excited to finally be the person to post a review of a show I went to myself. It was all waste...the time, the money, the energy.
I just hope there was a good reason and it wasn't something lame and inconsiderate. And I hope I get all my money back. Wish me luck everyone. I wish I had more positive things to say right now.
Enjoy the superbowl.

As posted in the other thread which you can delete if you want. The guy at club 3121 said she did perform, but not until 2:30. I am so disappointed and feel sorry for the person that spent thier money to go. I almost did the same, but sorry to say I was not confident enough about her reliablity. I guess I am going to have to admit something is wrong with this picture. I think I have reach the end of my rope. I just wish her success in working out her problems.

Something is REALLY REALLY wrong. The best indication is, that even YOU starts to admit it...  This is really a shame. Even if she really played at 2:30 - its rediculous! Thinking about it, the fact that she played at 2:30 is even worse! That means she was there in Vegas and -for some reasons- decided to wait THAT long to come out! WTF? This is so disrepectful. Why is she treating the people that love her music like that?! I am really pissed. really really pissed. |

I feel like Lauryn is cheating us all the time... I don't know why but I have a hunch it won't change and we won't hear a new Lauryn's album this year and maybe even next... The hope is dyin'...  |

Oh man! this brings back some memories from her concert in Joburg, South Africa last year. She made us wait for over 3 hours before she hit the stage. It wasn't entirely her fault because there were sound problems and the drama with Ashanti's cousin. She was scheduled for 10pm but only hit the stage at 1:30pm. Suffice to say, the crowd was not pleased, but she totally redeemed herself by giving a great performance. As fans we will always be caught up in lauryn hill, even when she messess up. She knows that she will always have a following even if she doesn't release for next 5 years.

i dont know whats wrong with her, she would never of done this afew years ago. it reminds me of when she came to london, the show was ment to start at 8 and she didnt come out till 10.45 and said she couldnt decide what to wear and then only played for an hour, so disapointing, the actual show was was great just ashame it wasnt longer. i had to take 2 days off work so that i could travel down to london, and what really gets me is the fact it was only afew days after we had the suicide bombs on the underground so it was really hard to get about london. i think she is very bad to trat her fans like this.

Maybe she saw the show on E! and wasn't in the mood anymore to perform.

REVIEW BY thea paisley
Lauryn Hill was to perform tonight at 3121 the doors were to have opened at 8pm for a performance at 10pm.there was a huge line that wrapped around the casino it seemed like it was just about sold out.they ended up not letting anyone in the club until 10pm.
The club was really packed it was as full as the prince shows have been.i stood by the stage waiting for the show to start at 12am a man said over the microphone that the show would be starting in a few minutes.
Some of the people where already trying to get refunds and the box office stated that all sales were final.at 1am still no Lauryn by now the club has emptied out and they are now giving refunds but the staff is still telling people that she is going to perform but they are not sure at what time,but we are able to get our money back at the box office.speaking with some of the staff members that i see on a regular basis they informed me that she ran late on her sound check and was on the stage rehearsing for 3 hours she ended her sound check at 9:45 and that made the start time get pushed back.she then left to go eat and the start time was set for 12am.
She came back after eating and then left again and never returned.i left the club at 2am and still no one would give any information about what happened nor did they tell anyone that she would not perform they just gave the option of a refund.i was really looking forward to watching her perform i even stayed there for 4 hours waiting in lines and standing around i wish i could of at least been told that she was not going to perform.
Lauryn Hill does not even have a new song on the radio she rarely gets any air time all her fans came out just to support her.i guess to her "nothing really matters"
