When Jay Sarno opened the doors of Caesars Palace on Aug. 5, 1966, it’s likely he imagined the property would be a major player on the Las Vegas Strip for years to come, but it’s unlikely he imagined it would continue to be such a dominant force into the new millennium. In a city where constant change is the norm, not the exception, Caesars Palace has not only bucked every trend, it continues to set them. And for its 60th anniversary, the property is going to be absolutely rocking this month. From shows and special restaurant menus to bars and nightlife, be prepared for a serious celebration!

When this 81-year-old legendary rocker wrapped his long-running The Hits residency at the Colosseum in 2024 (200-plus shows over 13 years), there was definitely talk of retirement, but when he returned with The Encore Shows the following year, two things became clear: Stewart’s energy level is legendary (having performed nearly 20 Encore shows); and he loves performing in Las Vegas, specifically Caesars Palace. Look forward to hearing not only rock classics like “Maggie May” and “Hot Legs” but also standards from the Great American Songbook for years to come.

This could be your last chance to see the superstar live for some time, as she recently announced the final season of her talk show, citing wanting to spend more time with her children. But be sure of one thing: Clarkson is going to leave everything on the field with the remainder of her Studio Sessions residency, a summation of an incredible hit-making career complete with all the hits and some of the stories behind them. Despite the enormity of the performance venue, this will be one of the most intimate shows of the year. Do not miss your chance.
