According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the singer has been in town since Sunday to put the final touches on his album. Rose is staying at the Palms Hotel, where he has moved into a studio apartment.
If all goes well, Chinese Democracy, which has been in the works for six years, will be released on March 6.
Journalist Mick Wall, formerly of Kerrang! magazine, will be publishing a non-authorized biography of Rose on May 4, entitled Axl Rose – The Unauthorized Biography. According to its editor, the book will be, "a no-holds-barred study of the troubled life and turbulent career of the group’s singer and leader."
The book will cover questions of the abuse of the singer as a child, his problems with the law, and the endless efforts to complete Chinese Democracy.
