In front of a sold-out show of 60,000+ fans, Bruno Mars kicked off The Romantic Tour in Las Vegas.
Including five songs with Anderson .Paak, who joined him midway through the show, the multi-Grammy award winner ran through his list of biggest hits.
In honor of his contributions to the Nevada entertainment scene, Mars started the tour in style with a ride down the Strip in a vintage convertible for a parade, and was given the key to the Las Vegas Strip. Joining a decorated group to receive the honor – including Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin – CEO and president of MGM Resorts International, Bill Hornbuckle said:
“Bruno Mars isn’t just a global superstar; he’s one of the most electrifying performers of our time, and over the past decade, he’s become an integral part of Las Vegas.” “From his early performances at Bellagio and MGM Grand to his record-setting residency at Dolby Live, Bruno has drawn hundreds of thousands of visitors and has created the kind of unforgettable, ‘only in Vegas’ moments that define this city. It’s only fitting that we help launch his world tour here today as we honor his extraordinary impact on Las Vegas and the energy he brings to our community.”
The superstar singer/songwriter pledged a $1,000,000.00 donation to the future Intermountain Health Nevada Children’s Hospital.
