A Las Vegas residency is a great option for a superstar looking to acquire touring money without actually having to tour: no traveling necessary, a consistent schedule, and a regular stream of eager attendees visiting Sin City.
So glad we could clear this up!!! Happy 2024! Via @jonorlando.

Feliz Navidad indeed! Shout-out to @Cubanidad1885; it’s a little more expensive than some of the other Cuban places in Las Vegas but WORTH IT! Authentic and delicious!
We just bought a cute rug and an even cuter ottoman and can’t wait to start putting away all our stuff!!! THANK YOU @ClosetFactoryVegas for being so easy to work with and quick! We had to do all the closets in our new house after we closed and got the keys because the builder wanted an OFFENSIVE amount of money to do them during construction. We said HELL NO!

MSG Sphere is unlike any other concert venue in the world.Typically, fans flock to shows to see their favorite artists perform; they could care less about the stage they stepped foot on.Yet, when the visually spectacular Sphere opened in Sin City in late September 2023, everything changed.Boasting the world’s largest high-definition LED screen that wraps around the crowd as well as a specialized sound system that makes audience members “feel” sound vibrations, suddenly the location was the main attraction.That being said, the performers staging residencies at the spherical concert space are no slouches.Up first, Rock and Roll Hall of Famers U2 delivered the hits. Soon after, director Darren Aronofsky’s immersive film “Postcard From Earth” took center screen.
