Dubbed the “City of Entertainment”, Las Vegas has no problem attracting big stars to play residencies in the opulent theaters and arenas that line the Strip.
With so many headliners coming and going, I figured it’d be helpful to detail current and upcoming Las Vegas residencies so that you can find a headliner that fits both your tastes and travel timeline.
For our purposes, we chose to leave residencies that only last a few days off the list as they are unlikely to line up with your dates of travel. Do 3-5 performances really qualify as a residency anyway? I don’t think so.
For each residency, I’ll link out to multiple ticketing options which include the box office, Vegas.com, and VividSeats so that you can easily find the best deal or preferred seats.
Las Vegas Strip Residencies
Resorts World Resident Performers
The newest resort on the Las Vegas Strip has made its presence known with a number of high-profile residencies that call its new 5,000-seat theater home.
Katy Perry PLAY: Calling the Resorts World Theater home Katy Perry will play selected dates between February and November of 2023. PLAY features some unique production elements… such as a giant toilet with a dancing piece of feces emerging from it. Can’t make it up. Tickets start at $80.
Carrie Underwood’s Reflection: The Las Vegas Residency: Carrie will return to Resorts World for 18 shows on select dates from June to December of 2023. Balcony tickets start at $55 and go up as you get closer to the stage.
Luke Bryan: Luke Bryan has taken his country show to Vegas, playing select nights through September of 2023. Tickets start at just under $80.
Celine Dion: Unfortunately, Celine Dion has been forced to postpone the start of her Las Vegas residency at Resorts World a diagnosis of Stiff Persons Syndrome, a rare neurological condition that causes muscle stiffness.
At this time, it sounds as though this residency is unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future.
Caesars Palace Resident Performers
Weekends With Adele: The highly anticipated Las Vegas residency sold out dates almost immediately, so shopping peer-to-peer options like VividSeats will be necessary.
Adele recently wrapped up her first stint of shows and promptly announced that additional dates will be added from June – November of 2023.
Garth Brooks/Plus One: Garth will call the Colosseum at Caesars Palace home on select dates in May, June, July, November, and December of 2023 and again between April and July of 2024 as part of his Garth Brooks/Plus One residency.
The “Plus One” portion of the residency’s name refers to the fact that no two shows will be the same. Garth will have his whole band sitting in the crowd and will call different elements up depending on what he’s feeling that night.
Rod Stewart: The Hits: Rod Stewart will perform at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on select dates in May and November of 2023, however, additional dates are commonly sprinkled in.
Popular songs you can expect to hear include “Hot Legs” and “Tonight’s the Night”. Tickets start at $50 plus fees and go up as you get closer to the stage.
Harrah’s Resident Performers
Donny Osmond: While Donny had performed for years at The Flamingo with his sister Marie, he’s now on his own and calls the Harrah’s Showroom home.
With multiple performances per week scheduled deep into 2023, fans of hits like “Puppy Love” and “Start Again” should be able to find a date that works at a price point of $75 and up.
Flamingo Resident Performers
Wayne Newton: Up Close and Personal: Mr. Las Vegas calls Bugsy’s Cabaret at Flamingo home and performances run well into the winter of 2023.
There, you’ll see Mr. Las Vegas himself perform hits like “Summer Wind” and “Danke Shoen” among others. Tickets start at $82.
Planet Hollywood Resident Performers
Keith Urban: The Las Vegas Residency: Keith Urban will call the Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood home and play 16 dates in June, July, and November 2023.

Westgate Resident Performers
Barry Manilow – The Hits Come Home!: Manilow has performance dates at Westgate scheduled deep into 2023.
With over 85 million records sold, we’re sure there will be plenty of folks clamoring to see the icon live in Las Vegas. Tickets to see Manilow in person can be yours for as little as $55 plus fees.
Hopefully, we were able to help you find a current Las Vegas residency or headline performer that works for your tastes and dates of travel. Have a great time in Vegas!
