Las Vegas is famous for its entertainment and good food, and tourism. But it’s entertainment that has continuously topped the list as the attraction ringing in droves of people to town.
Thousands come to witness the marvel that the city boasts, from gambling in the most luxurious hotels with the most unthinkable design architecture to out-of-the-world adrenaline-filled stage acts.
You will find mega stars taking the stage in the arenas to entertain an eager crowd in the many spots of the city shows, clubs, and concerts.
This aspect makes Las Vegas a living haven for those that can afford it. Well, it is cheaper than Hollywood-and that might be the main reason why celebrities grace the city frequently. Some relocate to the metropolitan, buying million-dollar mansions in the suburbs or renting luxury apartments on and off the Strip.
Another reason why celebrities love Sin city is that Vegas is an entertainment flex, and most of these known celebrities are performing artists and acts, from magicians to singers. It only makes sense that they live near where they work.
No one wants to travel miles over to Vegas from Los Angeles every night to perform in Caesars, right? It makes no practical sense. And when you have money, you want to live in the epitome of fun, and they have wands of cash.
So who are these celebrities that grace the desert land in Nevada’s jewel city? Here is a complete list of the big names calling Las Vegas home today:
