The best-selling boy band of all time debuted their Las Vegas residency on Wednesday night. The Backstreet Boys certainly were  “Larger Than Life” at The Axis at Planet Hollywood Resort.

Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean and Kevin Richardson reunite to bring a exclusive stage show with state-of-the-art lighting, visually stunning automation and jaw-dropping choreography by some of LA’s top choreographers.

On the side, the Backstreet Boys are recording a new album, collaborating with Florida Georgia Line on “God, Your Mama, And Me.”

After the show, the boys headed over to Chateau Nightclub & Rooftop at Paris Las Vegas for their official after party.

The boys danced their way into the club, and at one point, Littrell and McLean even used a photographer’s camera for selfies.

To kick off the night, the Backstreet Boys were presented with an engraved bottle of Moet. The crowd cheered when McLean got on the mic to send a shoutout to his friends: “I want to thank my brothers of 24 years. Here’s to 24 more!”

The after party was the first of many that will be held at Chateau throughout their residency.
