A club flush: Tiësto to headline 5 Las Vegas venues in ‘24
Tiësto is but one man. But he’s galvanizing two behemoth nightlife companies, five mega-clubs and four prominent Strip resorts.
The club icon is in residency with Tao Group Hospitality and Groot Hospitality at LIV Nightclub and LIV Beach at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Omnia Nightclub at Caesars Palace, Tao Beach Dayclub at The Venetian, and Wet Republic at MGM Grand.
Tiësto’s 2024 schedule has him playing more clubs, in more resorts, than ever in his career. The spree launches at LIV Nightclub on Jan. 19, the superstar’s 55th birthday. He returns to Omnia on March 9 (go to tiestovegas.com for all pertinent data).
Tiësto is a veteran of more than two decades on the Strip, most recently a headliner at Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World. He’s also performed several sets at EDC.
“My dream was to have a Las Vegas residency that was different from all others,”the Dutch DJ whose legal name is Tijs Michiel Verwest said in a statement. “I can proudly say that this year, I will realize that dream of playing all over the Strip at several iconic venues as well as the newest and most epic nightclubs and dayclub.
“Each of these locations has its own character, allowing me to tailor a unique set and experience for each one.”
The weekend of privates
Gwen Stefani played the NYE VIP party at “The Party” at Wynn Las Vegas’ Cristal Ballroom. Stefani unwittingly created confusion-slash-excitement by posting about the event, but not noting it was closed to the public. Looked like a blast.
Stefani’s Planet Hollywood residency show from 2018-2021 was especially inspired. The show was designed by Baz Halpin (co-producer of “Awakening” at the Wynn) with its signature opening “Hollaback Girl” tribute to Vegas showgirl productions, with a dual staircase, fleet of tubas and dancing bananas.
Vegas fave David Perrico’s Pop Strings entertained VIPs at MGM Grand, leading to Rick Springfield’s 10:30 p.m. appearance. And recurring Vegas headliner Brian Newman popped in and out, barely noticed (for him, a rarity) to entertain at NoMad Library. We expect big ’24s in Vegas for all these acts and cats.
Cool Hang Alert
Meet the Beatles, through the great tribute band The Fab, as they play all of “Meet The Beatles” from 8 p.m.-9:30 p.m. Saturday at Coverall Lounge at Arizona Charlies Decatur. Next month marks the 60th anniversary of that breakthrough album. The band will also play other Beatles hits from ’64. No cover; twisting and shouting permitted.
