Las Vegas Strip casinos are constantly signing new superstar headliners to residencies, while other popular artists are closing engagements.

In some cases, popular bands have needed to postpone residencies, such as Scorpions who needed to reschedule their “Coming Home to Las Vegas 60th Anniversary” residency at Caesars Entertainment’s PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, that was set for February and March.

Scorpions canceled the shows due to drummer Mikkey Dee needing to recover from hospitalization. The band rescheduled the shows on Aug. 14, 16, 19, 21, and 23, 2025.

The band said all previously purchased tickets would be honored for the new dates or refunded at the point of purchase.

Lately, several major performers have closed residencies on the Strip after completing successful series of shows.

Country superstar Brad Paisley closed his “One Man Six Strings” residency at the Wynn Las Vegas Encore Theater on May 9-10 just before launching his new “Truck Still Works World Tour.”

Paisley opened his “One Man Six Strings” acoustic residency with five shows Oct. 18-19 and Dec. 6-8, 2024, at the Encore. He also performed at the Encore Theater for acoustic shows April 14-15, 2023, as well as two shows each at the Encore in November 2022, March 2022, and June 2021.

Country and rock residencies close on the Strip

Another country superstar Carrie Underwood concluded her long-running “Reflection: The Las Vegas Residency” engagement at the Resorts World Theater at Resorts World Las Vegas after 71 shows, finishing on April 12.

Classic rock bands have also closed popular residencies on the Strip.

The World’s Greatest Party Band The B-52s closed its Love Shack residency at the Venetian Theater at The Venetian Las Vegas with two final shows on April 18-19, after being forced to cancel its April 16 show as singer Cindy Wilson was unable to perform with a case of the flu.
