Bruno Mars helps usher in the new year with concerts on Dec. 30-31 at Dolby Live at Park MGM
Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2022 | 2 a.m.
Bruno Mars has already announced New Year’s Eve dates at Dolby Live at Park MGM, and now he’s signed on for ten more concerts at his longtime home on the Las Vegas Strip in 2023. Mars returns to Dolby on January 25, 27 and 28, and February 1, 3, 4, 8, 10, 11 and 14, with tickets starting at $100 going on sale October 28 via Ticketmaster. There’s no question these shows will sell out or come close, but we do have questions about the future of Bruno in Vegas. Is he completely finished with his fantastically funky Silk Sonic residency with the equally magnetic performer Anderson .Paak? Will he be returning to the setlist that made his residency one of the Strip’s most energetic shows for the past six years? Or will Mars make some changes and updates to his solo performance to reflect the Silk Sonic success? We’ll likely get our answers when he’s back onstage on December 30 and 31 to ring in 2023.
Amy Schumer has rescheduled her Las Vegas tour date at Resorts World Theatre from November 5 to November 16 due to a scheduling conflict. She’ll also go on an hour earlier at 8 p.m. Tickets purchased for the original show date will be honored for the new date.
In other announcements this week: RVLTN Events will bring bass DJ Excision and a plethora of other artists to the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center for a weekend rave-up November 18-19; the Love Affair Concert brings The Isley Brothers, Blackstreet, All-4-One, Color Me Badd and more R&B acts to the Orleans Arena on February 4; Keshi will perform at the Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on April 11; the legendary Smokey Robinson will return to the Venetian Theatre for two performances on April 14-15; and Dermot Kennedy will hit the stage at the Chelsea at the Cosmopolitan on May 19.
“iLuminate” at the Strat Theater celebrated its one-year anniversary on October 22 with a presentation of a custom cake to the cast and crew, but there was another great reason to party—the unique dance-focused production has been extended and will continue to rock the Strat through June 2023. Always full of energy and ready to go the extra mile, cast members rolled over to Virgin Las Vegas after their anniversary performance to take the stage during the wildly successful AFAN Black & White Party.
The acclaimed “Particle Ink: Speed of Dark” performance and immersive experience has received its final extension at the LightHouse in the downtown Arts District and will continue through December 4. The production blends live performance, street art, projection mapping and augmented reality, and has captivated thousands of guests since opening in April with original plans for a three-month run. Each experience lasts approximately one hour and takes place at 7 and 9 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, and at 7 p.m. Monday at the venue at 918 S. Main Street.

“Miss Behave’s Mavericks” at Cheapshot along Fremont East in downtown Las Vegas is readying for a holiday hibernation.
