Las Vegas casinos on and off the Strip have a history of scheduling long-running headliner residencies that last for months, years, and even decades.
Legendary pop superstar Barry Manilow in September 2023 broke Elvis Presley’s record of 636 sold-out shows in the International Theater at Westgate Las Vegas just off the Strip, which had previously been the Las Vegas Hilton and International Hotel when Elvis performed.

Manilow, however, took 18 years to break the record that Elvis set in just seven years between 1969 and 1976.

The “Copacabana” singer has been performing in the International Theater for over 20 years, since February 2005.
Manilow will perform for a long time at Westgate, as he in December 2024 accepted a lifetime residency agreement to not perform at any other Vegas casino for the remainder of his career.Â
He may perform at any other venue outside of Las Vegas, however.
Manilow can’t touch Mr. Las Vegas Wayne Newton when it comes to the number of Las Vegas shows performed. Both Newton’s Hollywood Walk of Fame biography and The Neon Museum of Las Vegas website claim that the “Danke Schoen” singer has performed over 30,000 solo shows over 40 years.
Magic and comedy act Penn and Teller debuted at Bally’s on the Strip in 1993, and, by 2001, the headliners brought their residency to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, where it continues.
Legendary rock star Carlos Santana has headlined a long-running residency on the Las Vegas Strip since 2012, performing over 300 shows to sold-out audiences.
Santana has extended his “An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live” residency at the MGM Resorts International’s House of Blues at Mandalay Bay on the Las Vegas Strip with 15 new shows in September and November 2025.
