With her love of over-the-top costumes and performances, Katy Perry seems like the perfect candidate to have a Las Vegas residency. But Katy says in addition to that, her upcoming residency at Resorts World Las Vegas, PLAY, is just her way of carrying on a family tradition.
“Vegas is in my blood. My grandmother was a seamstress for showgirls and my aunt was a dancer in the Folies Bergère before she became an ordained minister,” Katy says in a statement. “I’m excited to carry on the family tradition and bring a bold, playful experience to audiences who, like me, have been yearning for the communal experience of live entertainment.â€
The fan club ticket presale for PLAY, which kicks off December 29 and runs through mid-January, is now live at KatyPerry.com/tour. According to a release, PLAY will “deliver a transcendent sensory experience with vibrant visuals and numerous surprises.” The general on-sale date is May 24 at 10 a.m. PT at AXS.com.
VIP packages are also available, which include things like a meet-and-greet and photo op with Katy, a pre-show tequila toast with Katy, a pre-show spread of sake, sushi and other gourmet treats, and all kinds of exclusive merchandise.
“I think we’re all ready to play — and what better place to play than Las Vegas?†says Katy.
