Dale! Pitbull Announces Las Vegas Residency for 2024-2025
Mr. 305 will bring his Miami swagger to Las Vegas again for a new musical residency, Billboard Español can exclusively announce on Friday (Sept. 20). Pitbull: Vegas After Dark the Residency will debut on Nov. 8 at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, where the Cuban-American superstar will take the stage at the BleauLive Theater for a series of eight weekend concerts between the end of this year and the beginning of the next.
The dates are Nov. 8-9, Jan. 24-25, and March 7, 8, 14 and 15. Tickets go on presale on Tuesday (Sept. 24) and to the general public the next day at 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET on the Fontainebleau website.
“Fontainebleau’s legacy of top-tier entertainment stems from its Miami Beach roots,” said Fontainebleau Las Vegas Senior Vice President of Entertainment, Fedor Banuchi, in a press release. “We are honored to have Mr. 305 himself bring his Miami flair to BleauLive Theater for this iconic limited engagement.”
Pitbull is in the midst of his Party After Dark Tour, a 26-city trek that began on Aug. 21 in Virginia and ends on Oct. 5 in Albuquerque, N.M. His new show in Las Vegas will include “state-of-the-art visuals, pyrotechnics,” and a repertoire of hits such as “Give Me Everything,” “Timber,” “Time of Our Lives,” “International Love,” “Feel This Moment,” “Fireball” and “Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor).”
“Backed by his incredible band, The Agents, and his dynamic dancers, The Most Bad Ones, the fusion of music, lights and special effects will create a sophisticated, high-energy party for everyone in attendance,” according to the press release.
Pitbull, who frequently performs in Las Vegas, opened a SLAM charter school in Nevada in 2016, expanding his commitment to education that began with the first SLAM school in Miami. According to the release, the schools — whose name is an acronym for Science, Leadership, Arts and Management — now serve nearly 10,000 students in various states.
The artist’s last residency in Sin City was Time of Our Lives, which opened at The AXIS on Sept. 23, 2015, and closed on May 25, 2019.
