Top-drawing DJ Tiesto beginning stint at The Joint

It's the biggest DJ residency yet in a city whose nightlife is increasingly defined by them. This weekend, Tiesto, the top-drawing DJ in the world, will begin a multimonth stint at The Joint that will extend through 2011.

Initially making a name for himself in trance circles, Tiesto has broadened his range in recent years to include electro and indie dance flourishes for a sound almost as big the stadium-size venues he's been known to play.

See Tiesto at 10 p.m. Saturday at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel, 4455 Paradise Road. Tickets are $100; call 693-5583.
