Perry Farrell—frontman of Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros and founder of Lollapalooza—recently announced Kind Heaven, a new Las Vegas entertainment complex he masterminded with Caesars Entertainment, Star Wars visual effects pioneer Ed Jones and Walden Media co-founder Cary Granat. It is....well, it's something.
A press release described Kind Heaven as “An active and dynamic world extending across multiple levels and more than 100,000 square feet, offering the best of Southeast Asian culture, music, food, danger, fashion, exoticism, exploration, legendary mysteries and spiritual enlightenment."
Forbes reports that a cool $100 million has been invested into the venture, with some of the money coming from Farrell himself. Farrell told Forbes that the complex was inspired by a dream where he "saw Kind Heaven as a city from overhead as if I was a bird or an angel. I came down upon the city, landed on the city, watched a girl pickpocket someone who was passed out on the street, run away and there I was in this place."
According to the report, the five-story venue will feature multiple musical stages, 40 food stations, bars and alleyways that "might have some pickpocket who jumps over your head trying to escape the local police. So there’s never a moment that doesn’t fill your ears or your eyes or your palate."
"Everything that you see [there], except for my wife, is for sale," Farrell added.
The Las Vegas Reivew-Journal reported that the venue will also feature virtual monkeys that wrestle each other. According to the report, patrons can bet on which monkey will win, and win prizes.
