    Makes sense. Instead of touring, people will need to come to her. Less grind day-to-day and more time to rest. Better show-to-show quality so better SQ I'm sure.

    and, as almost every casino show, only 90 minutes a night, get those gamblers back out on the casino floor.

    Does she use the same corridors and residence as Celine in the same venue that prevents breathing in the arid desert air?

    One of the youngest artists to do a Vegas residency. Close to home and Vegas should be keeping venues open more than other countries or US cities.

    Two shows a week for 12 weeks?

    Not like the old days where you'd perform two shows a night for a month!

    This is great news for fans who are rich and have the time and money to go see her, I guess. :sigh:

    I knew an LA artist who did a Vegas residency. About a month or six weeks, if I recall. I was surprised to learn that they flew out for every show, in a private plane that the casino paid for. I figured they'd stay out there in a suite that was provided to them, but I guess a flight from LA to Vegas is just a short hop. Nice work if you can get it.

    You have to be reasonably well off to buy 2021-priced concert tickets (I'm sure these are going to be insanely expensive), then airfare and hotel accommodations just for one gig. I love traveling for shows when I can, but at least give fans some options of places to go and do a real tour. (Said as someone who has no real interest in going to Vegas for Vegas-y things)

    I'd imagine that the majority of attendees at most Vegas residencies are people who were already planning to go to Vegas anyway, and the show is just something else they can drop money on while they're already in town. So yeah, they're not really a way of making an artist available to their fans, for the most part.

    The way some (most?) people gamble it's probably cheaper buying a ticket to the show and spending 90 minutes away from the slots than it would be to sit in front of the ol' One Armed Bandit.

    The other thing about Vegas is you can skip the hotel, wander the safe part of the strip and get a 6 am flight home.

    I am stunned by this. The colosseum holds something like 5000 people no? This seems to be too small a venue. She sold out four shows at London Olympic Stadium in an “in the round” configuration (97,500 capacity). Unless her drawing power has diminished significantly, I suspect they made her a massive offer.

    Nowadays I'm not so sure that there's even a safe part of the strip any more. I lived there for 16 years, moved away about 5 years ago but still have friends who live there. Between reading the news and hearing from them about other incidents that are kept hush hush so as not to negatively affect tourism, it seems like there's a never ending supply of stories to tell. Once in a rare while I'd do a pre dawn walk of the "safe-er" part of the strip and it was always quite interesting to say the least. Not sure I'd want to do that walk nowadays though.

    don't know when you were there last, but i was there 2 months ago and the prices on just about every single thing has doubled.

    a 16 inch pizza, you are reading this correctly, a pizza in the paris/bally's walkway is $40.

    2 burgers, 1 order of fires and 2 drinks at gordon ramsey burg'r in planet hollywood was $82 without tip.

    a rent-a-car for 7 days - $500+

    a coors lite at gustav's bar in paris is $9

    i figure that adele tix in the upper upper balcony will be over $100.

    down front and center - $500+ each.

    We'd planned a trip in October, and booked rooms probably in June, just when it seemed like everything was going to be soon getting back to normal. All of the hotels were close to double what they typically are. Even the reliably cheaper Strip hotels, like Excalibur and TI, were over $1,000 for three nights.

    You're actually pretty close. The price range is US $85.83 - US $683.07 (before TM fees).

    And despite the high price, they'll still be next to impossible to get. It's another one of those "Verified Fan" signups, and codes will likely be very scarce.

    Venue holds 4,100. Times 24 shows = 98,400 tickets total (probably much less once you subtract all the player comps and holdbacks.)

    She could have just played to the same number of people by doing two stadium shows, but these will be certainly be better.
