Guests of Las Vegas Strip resort hotels have a variety of popular entertainment residencies to choose from on their visits. The Strip has several mainstay residencies that seem to be always be featured in hotel-casino theaters.

Mr. Las Vegas Wayne Newton has never stopped performing on the Strip since he first headlined at the Flamingo in 1963. Newton, who turned 82 on April 3, has been performing since January 2022 in his current residency at the Wayne Newton Theater in Bugsy's Cabaret Flamingo Las Vegas and is booked through Dec. 30, 2024.

Then there's 1970's superstar pop singer Barry Manilow, who began his long-running residency off the Strip at the Westgate Las Vegas in February 2005. He continues to perform sellouts in the International Theater where Elvis Presley opened the hotel casino in 1969 back when it was the International Hotel, before becoming the Las Vegas Hilton, then Westgate.

Manilow has 21 more shows scheduled at the International Theater through Dec. 14, 2024, but don't be surprised if the "Copacabana" singer extends the residency into 2025.

Iconic rock band The Eagles roll into Sphere Entertainment's (SPHR) Sphere Las Vegas on Sept. 20 for a 16-show residency that is scheduled to end on Dec. 14, unless extended.
