Barry Manilow Decides Las Vegas Is Just Too Fabulous to Leave, Announces Lifetime Residency

Buy Me A Coffee

Barry Manilow has officially put down roots in Sin City—permanently. The 81-year-old crooner has extended his residency at the Westgate Resort & Casino’s International Theater, and here’s the kicker: he’s staying forever. That’s right, Barry isn’t just renting a room; he’s practically setting up a musical Airbnb for the rest of his days.

Barry Says, “Vegas, Baby, I’m Yours”
“It’s been an incredible journey performing at the International Theater,” Barry gushed in a statement. And by “incredible journey,” he clearly means he’s found a jackpot of sequins, spotlights, and complimentary buffets. “David Siegel and the Westgate team have been like family to me,” he added. (Translation: They’ve been feeding me shrimp cocktails and letting me belt out Copacabana to my heart’s content.)

Barry has dubbed Westgate his “forever home,” officially making it the most glamorous retirement plan anyone has ever conceived. While some people move to Florida to play golf, Barry decided to park himself in Vegas to play Mandy for eternity.

The Show Must Go On… and On… and On
Manilow kicks off his holiday series this week, because nothing says “Happy Holidays” like a rousing chorus of Looks Like We Made It. But wait—there’s more! Tickets for shows in 2024 are already on sale, meaning Barry fans can pencil him in alongside their dentist appointments and annual car inspections.

David Siegel, Westgate’s founder and Barry’s #1 hype man, chimed in with his own heartfelt tribute: “Barry Manilow is a generational artist and a dear friend.” Translation: “Barry’s shows pay the electricity bill around here, so we’re keeping him as long as he can stand up and sing.”

Breaking Records and Taking Names
In case you missed it, Barry is no ordinary Vegas act. Back in September 2023, he shattered Elvis Presley’s record for most shows at the venue, hitting 637 performances. Elvis may have had blue suede shoes, but Barry’s got rhinestone-encrusted stamina.

Barry Manilow isn’t just living in Vegas—he is Vegas. And with a lifetime residency ahead, he’s proof that while the neon lights never go out, neither do the dulcet tones of Can’t Smile Without You.

Start booking those flights to Vegas now—Barry’s got a seat saved for you! (It’s probably right next to the blackjack table.)
