The legendary crooner Barry Manilow, whose hits have soundtracked more than a few epic karaoke nights, is set to become a permanent fixture in Las Vegas. According to Billboard, Manilow has inked a deal for a lifetime residency at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, solidifying his status as a Sin City icon.
"It’s been an incredible journey performing at the International Theater," Manilow said, capturing the essence of his Vegas tenure. Westgate founder and executive chairman David Siegel has expressed his fondness for Manilow, describing him as "a generational artist and a dear friend." The partnership between Manilow and Westgate has blossomed over the years, and the sentiment was echoed by Manilow, who told FOX5 Vegas, "David Siegel and the Westgate team have been like family to me," and he is "deeply grateful to have the opportunity to call Westgate home for the rest of my career."
This historic residency follows the passing of a significant milestone where Manilow surpassed the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley's run of 636 performances at the same venue. Manilow's impact on the Las Vegas entertainment scene is indelible, with record-setting performances that now intertwine his legacy with that of the illustrious city, as per FOX5 Vegas.
Fans can look forward to Manilow's "A Very Barry Christmas" holiday shows starting this week at the International Theater, with tickets on sale for the 2025 lineup. Moreover, fans can catch the timeless performer on select dates throughout the year including the Valentine’s season, spring breaks, and leading right up into the holiday cheer with December performances. These dates, outlined by Billboard, are a testament to the enduring appeal of Manilow's music and his tremendous draw as a live artist.
