A legendary Las Vegas rock club with a Sunset Strip pedigree is hitting the market soon for $4.3 million—but its reputation is priceless.

Owner Danny ‘Count’ Koker is putting his iconic venue Count’s Vamp’d up for sale after 16 years of headbanging glory in the City of Sin.

Since its inauguration in 2009, this venue has earned the reputation of being the ‘world’s greatest rock club.’ It’s a sanctuary where rock icons from bands like Mötley Crüe and Black Sabbath have brought their wild spirits to life on numerous unforgettable nights.

Koker, known for his role on the History Channel’s Counting Cars, teamed up with Mötley Crüe’s frontman Vince Neil to introduce a club that Las Vegas was lacking: ‘gritty, authentic, and loud,’ inspired by the legendary L.A. rock venues he used to sneak into during his teenage years.

This 6,000-square-foot venue, distinct for being the sole off-Strip location fully zoned and licensed for live music, exudes a rock and roll vibe. Koker mentions it’s the kind of spot where you might experience an unexpected performance or meet legendary musicians.

‘It’s a rock club, so it’s pretty darn crazy,’ Koker explained in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com. ‘It’s a for-real, honest-to-goodness, old-school rock club. So there’s been so many fun things over the years.’

Since opening in 2009, the venue has been dubbed the 'world’s greatest rock club,' a place where Mötley Crüe, Black Sabbath, and countless other legends raised hell and set the stage on fire with unforgettable shows; (Motley Crue's Mick Mars, Tommy Lee, Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx in 1982)

Beyond the star sightings of Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach, the late Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul, and Billy Idol’s bassist Phil Soussan, the club has become a true community hub for rock and roll’s elite. 

‘There’s a lot of love in the house.’ Koker conitnued. ‘It’s about music, it’s about love, it’s about keeping things cool and really enjoying it.’

‘You know, there’s so many wonderful stories. ’cause there’s so many wonderful people that have come through that place through the years, and it’s been coined by people like them that it is the “world’s greatest rock club.”‘

Koker also paid heartfelt tribute to his wife Korie Koker, whose relentless dedication and visionary leadership as entertainment director have been pivotal in shaping the club’s enduring success.

‘We have so much love for the place and we care about it so very much, that nothing would make me happier than if [new owners] came in and said we wanna carry this place on for the next 16 years as the world’s greatest rock club,’ Koker explained.

The 6,000-square-foot building sits on 1.5 acres with 95 private parking spaces and is the only off-Strip property fully zoned and permitted for live music. 

Everything inside—from the stage and bars to the booths—was custom-built by Danny and his crew.

While the entrance boasts a modest brick façade, stepping inside feels like crossing into a different world—one where rock and roll rules the night. 

The entire place oozes rock and roll—the kind of venue where you might catch a surprise set or brush shoulders with icons, according to Koker

At the far end of the open floor plan, a raised stage commands attention, flanked by tables and chairs perfectly placed for fans to drink, dine, and headbang the night away.

Dim, moody lighting casts shadows over leather booths and low-hung chandeliers, while neon accents flicker above the full-service bar that greets guests the moment they walk in. 

It’s a space built for escape—equal parts gritty dive and glam metal shrine.

The atmosphere evokes classic Sunset Strip energy—reminiscent of The Rainbow Room and The Viper Room—steeped in the spirit of the hair metal era.
