Over the last year, Las Vegas Strip casinos have presented several first-ever headliner residencies of superstar performers.
Hip-hop made its mark on the Strip in July 2024 when Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino hosted its first major hip-hop residency when legendary New York hip-hop stars Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Slick Rick, and Doug E. Fresh joined DJ Cassidy for his "Pass the Mic Live" residency for six shows.
