Much is written about performers who take up “residency” in Las Vegas during their performance contracts with the major casino resorts. Some stay a couple of weeks, while others might stretch their stays to months.
It is common for performers to be put up in very comfortable accommodations at their residency hotel, such as Caesar’s, MGM, The Palazzo, Planet Hollywood and others.
Some performers will prefer to arrange for a private residence rental during their extended stays, and simply travel back and forth for their performances. This assumes they are more comfortable with a home-like setting rather than remaining in a casino resort.
For 2023, numerous performer 'residencies' have already been scheduled and announced. The following are a few of the performers who will take up temporary residency.
