Lady Gaga is one of the best-selling music artists of all time. With more than 120 million albums sold, the 35-year-old entertainer and her casino partner MGM Resorts are betting big that their most loyal fans will pay the highest dollar to see their residential show on the Las Vegas Strip.

Gaga has been a fixture in the US casino capital since 2018. Her home in Las Vegas is the MGM Park Theater, which she will return to in October for a nine show residency.
Premium tickets are offered at record prices and include overnight stays at an MGM Resorts casino. This includes resort credits for a range of amenities and services. MGM announced five VIP packages this week, the highest of which is a staggering $ 10,619.
The exclusive “I Want Your Everything” package is suitable for four people and includes three nights in a penthouse suite in the Bellagio or Aria. Ticket holders receive VIP entry to the Park Theater, a special cocktail server throughout the show, a welcome snack basket and Lady Gaga swag bag, as well as four lanyards and credentials to remember the show.
The package, which is $ 2,655 each before taxes and resort fees, includes an additional $ 500 food and beverage and $ 250 spa credit.
Lady Gaga’s Park MGM residence is entitled “Lady Gaga Jazz & Piano”. In addition to music from the Great American Songbook, the show features scaled-down versions of their hits. a term that applies to tunes in Broadway musical theater, Hollywood film musicals, and Tin Pan Alley.
Lady Gaga’s residence
MGM Resorts, the largest casino operator on the Strip, bills its premium VIP ticket packages for Lady Gaga as its “back in the house” promotion. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the “all” combination is the most expensive ticket offer for a Las Vegas residence in the long history of MGM Resorts in southern Nevada at over $ 10,600.
Gaga’s nine October dates at Park MGM are October 14th, 16th, 17th, 21st, 23rd, 24th, 28th, 30th and 31st. MGM requires all ticket holders to be fully vaccinated or to provide evidence that they recently tested negative for COVID-19.
To enter, ticket holders must provide confirmation that they have received the necessary vaccines to be declared fully immune as per CDC guidelines. Unvaccinated people can still enter, but only if they present a negative COVID-19 test performed within the last 72 hours.
All participants must use the CLEAR mobile app, which allows users to upload and save their vaccination reports and coronavirus test results.
High demand
Las Vegas is bursting with excitement again. Although the reimplementation of indoor face coverings for all people has resulted in some guest cancellations, southern Nevada is busy. The face-covering edict was in effect throughout August.
Nevada casinos reported a record monthly gross gaming revenue (GGR) in July, with players losing over $ 1.38 billion to the house. Clark County and the Las Vegas Strip accounted for $ 1.16 billion in casino profits.
Domestic traffic has almost reached pre-pandemic levels. MGM and Lady Gaga believe the return of travelers justifies the premium VIP ticket packages. But Gaga’s residence has some slightly cheaper VIP packages than the $ 10,619 “I Want Your Everything” deal.
The cheapest of the five experiences is Gaga, Oh La La, which costs $ 2,249 for two. The experience includes two nights in a King or Queen room at Park MGM, two floor tickets to the Lady Gaga show, and $ 200 credit for food and drinks.
