Big Name Las Vegas Strip Residencies in 2025
LISTEN TO THIS ARTICLE:Las Vegas Strip headliners often commit to residencies ranging from a few performances to several months or even years with some shows, such as those featuring Wayne Newton, Barry Manilow, and Donny Osmond, seeming to go on indefinitely.
Wayne Newton, known as “Mr. Las Vegas,” launched his Wayne: Up Close and Personal residency at the Wayne Newton Theater in Bugsy’s Cabaret at the Flamingo back in January 2022. The Danke Schoen singer, who first headlined at the Flamingo in 1963, has repeatedly extended his show and is now set to conclude his residency on December 31, 2025.
Donny Osmond, who began his residency at Harrah’s Las Vegas Showroom in August 2021, is scheduled to close his show on June 7, 2025, unless he decides to extend.
Meanwhile, Barry Manilow may never leave the stage at the International Theater at Westgate Las Vegas. In December 2024, he signed a lifetime residency agreement with the casino, ensuring his continued presence for the foreseeable future.
Big Names Returning to the Strip in 2025
Several popular performers will return for new residency runs in 2025, including the Backstreet Boys, Kelly Clarkson, Bryan Adams, Scorpions, Mötley Crüe, Bruno Mars, and Lenny Kravitz.
