The Las Vegas Strip always has big entertainment news for its guests, whether it's a headliner unveiling a new performance residency, a superstar entertainer ending a long-running engagement or maybe a big-name band coming through Vegas for one or two concerts.
Some of the latest news has included Lady Gaga ending her "Jazz + Piano" 12-show residency at MGM Resorts International's (MGM) -) Dolby Live at the Park MGM on Oct. 5. "The Jazz + Piano" show featured songs from the Great American Songbook as well as stripped down versions of her own hits performed in jazz style. Lady Gaga has indicated she would like to continue performing her residency "forever." That endless "Jazz + Piano" residency might start next year as Lady Gaga reportedly will return in spring 2024. Dates for those shows have not been revealed yet.

Huge singer Katy Perry's long-running Play residency at Resorts World Las Vegas will end soon on Nov. 4. Perry has performed over 50 shows in her residency at Resorts World since the resort opened in 2021.
Popular singer Adele is scheduled to wrap up her "Weekends With Adele" residency at Caesars Entertainment's The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Nov. 4 after 68 performances that began Nov. 18, 2022. Adele has eight shows remaining in the residency: Oct. 20, 21, 27, 28, Nov. 3 and 4, but all of the shows are sold out with no tickets available at Ticketmaster.
When tickets originally went on sale at Ticketmaster for the first shows in November 2022, they were priced from about $85 to $683. Ticket brokers have since offered secondary market tickets at much higher prices, as Vivid Seats' lowest-priced seat for Adele's Oct. 20 show is $957 and an Oct. 28 show is $958.
Adele likely to extend residency
There's good news for Adele fans as informed sources have revealed that the "Hello" singer plans to extend her "Weekends With Adele" residency at The Colosseum by 24 shows over 12 weekends in 2024, the Las Vegas Review-Journal said. Adele is likely to resume her residency at the 4,300-seat Colosseum sometime in January through early April 2024, since the venue is vacant during that period until comedian Jerry Seinfeld takes the stage on April 12 for shows on back-to-back nights.
Country star Garth Brooks follows Seinfeld with his residency on April 18, which then hopscotches through May, June and July. Seinfeld comes back for two shows each in August and September, but those two months would be pretty much clear for any additional Adele shows.

Superstar rock band U2 continues its residency U2/UV Achtung Baby Live at the Sphere, which runs through Dec. 16 at Sphere Entertainment's (SPHR) -) 20,000-seat Sphere at the Venetian, but only has tickets available for four of the remaining 17 performances. U2 fans will have to shell out a lot cash on Ticketmaster for the remaining shows, with the lowest ticket price at $501.35 for the Oct. 20 concert. Tickets are also available for Dec. 8 at $1,495, Dec. 13 for $1,495 and Dec. 15 for $1,450. Expect to pay higher prices for the 17 shows on ticket broker sites.
Fans hoping to see U2 at a more reasonable price should keep an eye on thespherevegas.com website and Ticketmaster as sources familiar with The Sphere's bookings say that the band will extend its residency into January, the Review-Journal reported. The tickets' on sale date has not yet been revealed.
