A rumored Las Vegas residency for Janet Jackson has been confirmed. TMZ was the first to float the rumor<\/a> back on Aug. 6, 2024.<\/p>\n

Jackson will do 10 shows starting Dec. 30 and New Year’s Eve 2024.<\/p>\n

Janet Jackson was a really big deal in the 1980s and 1990s (her last number one hit was 2001’s “All for You,” or nearly a quarter century ago), and her fans are the perfect demographic for a casino: Middle-aged with disposable income.<\/p>\n

What sunglasses are Janet Jackson wearing? Thom Browne<\/a> eyewear, inspired by mid-century safety goggles and modernized with 18 karat gold-plated titanium and wraparound temples, tortoise brow bar. Cost: $2,790. Yes, we knew that off the top of our head.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here are all the dates for Janet Jackson’s residency at Resorts World: December 30 and 31, 2024; January 3 and 4, 2025; February 5, 7, 8, 12, 14, 15, 2025.<\/p>\n

Jackson had a previous residency at Park MGM in 2019, “Janet Jackson: Metamorphosis,” with 18 shows.<\/p>\n

The new show is cleverly named “Janet Jackson: Las Vegas,” or “Miss Jackson: Las Vegas” if you’re nasty.<\/p>\n

Janet Jackson will reportedly make $13 million for her Resorts World residency, or about $1.3 million per show.<\/p>\n

Jackson was apparently considering a residency in London, but the Resorts World deal was significantly more lucrative. Also, it’s just cooler to perform in Vegas, all due respect to our Brits. You have better fish and chips.<\/p>\n

We trust Jackson’s shows will be very entertaining and will feature lots of dancing and the associated lip-syncing. Don’t gasp in horror. Lip-syncing isn’t rare anymore, it’s just part of the deal with live shows.<\/p>\n

It’s not really about whether someone sings live or not, it’s about the experience! That’s one of the reasons we don’t go to concerts anymore. That, and the asshats who stand up the entire time, even though everyone’s paid for seats. They’re called “seats,” not “stands.” Don’t get us started.<\/p>\n

Fun fact: We’ve been blacklisted by Caesars Entertainment since 2016 for having the audacity to suggest Britney Spears lip-syncs. No, really, they had a meeting and we were dubbed “hostile media.” In another instance, we went on KNPR and mentioned a performer wasn’t doing particularly well, and Caesars Entertainment (the prior owners) pulled $250,000 in financial support for our local public news radio station and we were never invited back. We are not making any of this up.<\/p>\n

Britney presumably lip-syncs because she's dancing. What's Celine's excuse? #BillboardMusicAwards<\/a><\/p>\n
