Over 30 years since her last Las Vegas residency, Dolly Parton is back in town and ready to take the stage on the heels of her 80th birthday. Dolly: Live in Las Vegas begins this December for a limited six-show run at the famous Colosseum at Caesars Palace. With original tickets selling out within 90 minutes of release, the show is in extremely high demand. However, there are still avenues available if you’re looking to enjoy an evening of music with Dolly herself this winter and grab tickets to her Las Vegas residency.
With her last Las Vegas performance series in 1993, Dolly Parton was a regular face on the Vegas strip, performing over 50 times at the Mirage. As she nears her January birthday, the “9 to 5” star has largely retired from regular tours. Her last major concert series, the Pure & Simple Tour, ended in 2016. This December, however, fans can rejoice as Dolly returns to the Vegas stage with a show that will not disappoint.
Anticipation for the show is high, and with great reason. Not only is this a rare opportunity to see the superstar perform, but she has also been quoted as saying the performance will be a musical journey through her seven decades of top hits. “To say I’m excited would be an understatement. I haven’t worked in Vegas for years, and I’ve always loved performing there,” Parton said when her residency was first announced. Superfans and new fans alike can enjoy all that is Dolly Parton during what is sure to be a performance to remember.
