Taemin made a dramatic and unforgettable introduction opening the show with “Heaven.” He captivated the audience with dark, conceptual stages including the tour’s title track “Veil," “Bones” “Advice + IDEA,” and “Shadow.”

Sensual performance stages followed with “Guess Who” and “Criminal,” while songs such as “Door” and “Flame of Love” highlighted Taemin’s delicate vocal and fluid performance skills, showcasing his wide-ranging musical spectrum. In the latter half of the show, Taemin heightened the excitement with his signature track “MOVE” and a rock version reinterpretation of “WANT.”

He surprised fans by pre-releasing an upcoming new song, drawing enthusiastic responses from the crowd and generating buzz online. Sharing behind-the-scenes stories about the new track, Taemin further energised the venue before closing the concert with “Danger,” “Press Your Number,” and “Think of You (사랑인 것 같아).”

Taemin expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you for giving such a warm welcome and so much love to my first solo concert in Las Vegas. I don’t think I’ll ever forget today, and I promise I’ll come back.” He added, “I’ll show you my very best performance at Coachella as well, so please look forward to it,” raising anticipation for his upcoming Coachella stage.

This concert is especially meaningful as it further solidified Taemin’s presence in the North American market.
