Prince had a residency at the Rio Hotel and Casino from November 2006 through April 2007. He named the club inside the hotel 3121, in honor of his album of the same name that was released at the time.

The Prince tribute will run right after the six-minute Viva Vision shows on the hour between 8 p.m. Thursday and 1 a.m. Friday.

Prince died at his home, Paisley Park, outside Minneapolis after being hospitalized in Illinois last week for what his representative said at the time was the flu.
