98 Degrees heating up Cincinnati with December performance at Hard Rock Casino

Is it getting hot in here, or is it 98 Degrees?

The band will be performing Dec. 17 at the newly-opened Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased through the Hard Rock website.

Like everyone else, 98 Degrees has a Cincinnati connection. Band members (and brothers) Nick and Drew Lachey grew up and attended school in Cincinnati, as did Justin Jeffree. The other member, Jeff Timmons, also grew up in Ohio.

Last year, 98 Degrees released its first full-length Christmas album in 18 years, "Let It Snow."

The Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati held its grand opening Oct. 29, where Cincinnati Reds legend Pete Rose made the first table game bet. Drew Lachey was also present, as one of the "celebrity guitar smashers" at the grand opening.
