Nas isn’t finished with Las Vegas. The iconic rapper supposedly capped his “Illmatic” 30th anniversary Las Vegas residency with three consecutive sold-out shows at the Wynn’s Encore Theater over Labor Day. Nas performed alongside the Las Vegas Philharmonic at the Encore Theater on August 29.
However, the celebration will not end there. Nas has announced that his residency will resume during Super Bowl Weekend on February 5, 7, and 8, 2025. “Las Vegas has always served as a creative outlet for my music, and these performances will take that to the next level,” Nas stated in May. Tickets for these new dates, priced starting at $69.95 plus fees, will go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. PT on Friday, September 13, via Ticketmaster.
Meanwhile, the rock band Heart is set to restart its “Royal Flush” tour at the Fontainebleau’s BleauLive Theater. Initially scheduled to perform on December 15, the tour was postponed due to Ann Wilson’s emergency cancer surgery. Now on the mend, Ann, aged 74, expressed her optimism in the relaunch announcement, saying, “The best is yet to come!” The tour will kick off on February 28, with tickets priced between $59 and $299 now available.
