Concerts and superstar shows are back in Las Vegas for the long haul. Las Vegas headliners now include the biggest name in show business, from Katy Perry with her Resorts World show to Maroon 5 at Park MGM, Miranda Lampert at Planet Hollywood, and Adele at Caesars Palace.
Concert residency has been a staple in Las Vegas for decades, with many headliners sticking around the Vegas Strip for over 10 shows. It is a revolutionary culture that began in the 1940s with the legendary pianist Liberace and Frank Sinatra.

Millions of visitors as well as millions of dollars pour into the shows every year, with Celine Dion’s show being the most successful, earning over $600 million since its conception.

Final Thoughts
Other Las Vegas performers are yet to confirm their Las Vegas residency. One such figure is Celine Dion, who had a residency at Caesars Palace for over 16 years. She had several shows scheduled for November 2021 – February 2022, but all were canceled due to medical issues, including severe muscle spasms. The show is yet to return, and it is not expected till 2024 at the earliest.
Other impeccable shows also came to an end, including John Legend ‘Love in Las Vegas’ at Zappos Theatre in Planet Hollywood (from April – October 29th 2022), as well as the residency of Lionel Richie at Wynn Las Vegas and Aerosmith at Park MGM both of which ended in 2022.
Backstreet Boys, on the other hand, are set to return to their Las Vegas residency in Planet Hollywood after their DNA World Tour ends in 2023.
