Memories being born in Las Vegas is the natural way, and AJ McLean of Backstreet Boys only added more to the leyenda Romero lands. Backstreet Boy Adam Cruz provided a perfect picture gadget from the Sphere, and in his words: “A big shout-out to special guests Post Mo and Mr. Ramos, aka the Puerto Rican brotha, for keeping the mood alive.” We can say that the picture is Vegas-esque, glowing under the streetlights of the night, offering an aura where two men are living life: one with a red cap that reads “Shoot for the Stars” and the other turned away between fists of a jacket that says “Millennium.” Just the vibe you want to be a part of.

And indeed, LOTS of people wished they really had been there. One banner commented that her seven-year-old son had drawn a picture of AJ, which is so cute and reminds us that the first crop of Backstreet Boys fans now have kids who are huge fans, too. Time flies when you’re busy hitting the charts. Another user seemed to be bursting from excitement for the next weekend’s show and went all caps, as if that excitement was just about to explode. Classic fan moment, really; so relatable.

And then things got international. One Brazilian begged for a show in Rio, while a voice from Venezuela hoped AJ would see her comment telling him that their kids love his music, too. Cross-generational fandom is very much real and quite beautiful. Meanwhile, a few were cool about spotting Post Malone in the mix because, let’s be honest—every time Posty makes an appearance, it’s an event.

But it was not all about pure celebration. Another comment went all in on the random question: Does AJ smoke? But hey, when you’re a celebrity, people notice everything. Even your dental hygiene.

It kicked off some nostalgia. One of the people commenting reminded everyone of seeing the Backstreet Boys 20 years back and how glad he was that they’re still going. That’s the thing about AJ and his crew: they’re old enough to have been the soundtrack to a couple of generations. Road trips with Mom, teenage crushes, now taking their own kids to shows. It just comes full circle every time they step onstage.

Speaking of which, there are loud calls for more shows. Dallas is calling. Puerto Rico is ready. Brazil is begging. Backstreet Boys are not just a band anymore—they’re a global request line.

So, short story long: weekends in Vegas with AJ McLean equals fun; with Post Malone even cooler; Backstreet Boys still have a fiercely loyal base today. Also, if there’s a kid doodling AJ portraits, maybe hit him up. He seems like a guy who would shyly appreciate that. Back to the next weekend, Vegas.
