Seinfeld is Caesars Palace’s longest-running superstar headliner in the resort’s history. He previously completed a residency at the Colosseum in July 2023, but had not performed at the venue prior to that since 2019. The Covid pandemic had a lot to do with Seinfeld’s hiatus from Vegas, as his April 3-4, 2020, shows at the Colosseum were cancelled because of the pandemic.
Seinfeld has been performing across the country and has most recently worked on Netflix projects, including “Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story,” “Jerry Before Seinfeld,” and “23 Hours to Kill.”
