Resorts World Theatre gets very nasty on December 30 and 31 as Ms. Janet Jackson launches her new residency. There are eight additional performances scheduled for 2025. Jackson has a long history with Vegas. When she was seven, she made her professional debut on stage with her brothers and sisters from the Jackson 5 at MGM. A Jackson show these days is always for the fans, a full pop experience with costume changes, dozens of songs, and every move from all her legendary videos — ”Rhythm Nation,” “Control,” “Nasty,” and “Love Will Never Do” — of the 1980s and 90s. Her Vegas dates come on the heels of the sold-out Together Again tour. rwlasvegas.com
