Promising a “one-of-a-kind, over-the-top production,” the best-selling boy band of all time will play The Axis at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino beginning March 1.

A few of the Backstreeters had remarks about the upcoming residency.

“We’re going to call the show Larger Than Life, and we’re taking that theme and we’re going to run with it,” Richardson said.

“What can you expect?” asked Littrell.  “If you’ve ever been to a Backstreet Boys show … it’s going to be that on steroids.”

“We’re excited to bring our experience from being a touring act with all of our hits to Vegas, so that it becomes something that you’ll never forget,” Carter said.

Here’s the rundown:

March: 1, 3-4, 8, 10-11, 15 & 17-18
June: 14, 16-17, 21, 23-24, 28 & 30
July: 1
