When Las Vegas Strip visitors imagine headliner residencies, they often consider buying tickets for shows for superstar singers and bands, such as Adele, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, or maybe older, classic Vegas acts like Barry Manilow, Donny Osmond or Wayne Newton.
The latest sensation on the Strip, Sphere Entertainment's (SPHR) Sphere, has drawn huge crowds since superstar rock band U2 opened the venue on Sept. 29, 2023 and performed 40 virtually sold-out shows before closing its residency on March 2.

Burlesque star returns to Las Vegas Strip for residency
Returning to the Strip after performing her "A Jubilant Revue" at Horseshoe last fall is International Queen of Burlesque Dita Von Teese, who brings her glamourous and sensational performances to the Strip at Voltaire in the Venetian Resort Las Vegas. The residency is set for 44 shows over 11 weekends beginning Sept. 19 and set to conclude Dec. 22, 2024.
“Dita Von Teese dazzles audiences around the world and is bringing something iconic and special to Voltaire,” Voltaire founder Michael Gruber said in an Aug. 13 statement. “Upon entering Voltaire, guests are transported to another era through the venue’s art deco design and cabaret setup, making it the perfect venue for Dita, her sparkling costumes, and effervescent charm.”

Dita Von Teese performed shows for Louis Vuitton, Chopard, Cartier and at the Cannes Film Festival. She also was a premier guest star in Jean Paul Gaultier's "Fashion Freak Show" at the Folies Bergère in Paris in 2019.
