Confirming rumors that have been circling for months, Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino will soon shine a little brighter with the landing of a new star. Jennifer Lopez announced during this week’s “American Idol” Season 14 finale that she will begin a Las Vegas headlining residency show beginning Wednesday, January 20, 2016.
In a spectacular show created just for the Vegas stage, Lopez will bring her star power to the resort’s AXIS Theater. Lopez will further elevate Las Vegas as an entertainment destination, creating a must-see show.
“I’ve been preparing for this moment my entire life,” said Lopez. “The show is going to be a multifaceted high energy Jenny from the Block party, mixing all aspects of what my fans and I love: Dance, Hip Hop, Latin and Pop. It’s going to be the show I’ve always dreamt of creating.”
The nearly two-hour show will feature all her hit songs, supported by a live band and dancers, extravagant costumes, and state-of-the-art technology in sets, lighting, video and special effects. Lopez’s show inside The AXIS at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino will be the only opportunity to see her perform live in North America. It will be a totally unique production, where the audience will be able to experience Lopez up close and personal, yet larger than life.
