Caesars Palace Adds Mötley Crüe for Eight-Date Carnival of Sins Residency and Sets CBS Air Date for Jennifer Lopez Finale

Caesars Palace has booked Mötley Crüe for eight spring dates and arranged national broadcast of Jennifer Lopez’s closing residency performance.

Mötley Crüe will become only the second heavy metal act to play Caesars Palace in the casino’s 60-year history. The “Carnival of Sins” residency dates are March 19, 20, 24, 26, 27, and 31 and April 2 and 3. The band announced the run on October 19 with a horror-themed teaser featuring a clown narrator.

Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and John 5 will deliver fan-voted favorites, deeper cuts resurfacing after decades, and the group’s trademark spectacle. The production is timed to coincide with a 45-year anniversary CD box set called Too Fast for Love. This marks the Crüe’s fourth Las Vegas residency following 2012 and 2013 stands at The Joint and a 2025 run at Dolby Live at Park MGM postponed after Vince Neil suffered a stroke on Christmas Day 2024.

Def Leppard previously performed its residency at Caesars Palace this February. Metal acts had typically booked The Joint at the old Hard Rock Hotel or the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood before that.

Presales begin at 10 a.m. PT on October 20 for S.I.N. Club members and Citi cardholders. Caesars Rewards members and Live Nation customers gain access on October 22. Public on-sale opens October 23 at ticketmaster.com/MotleyCrueVegas.

J-Lo’s Thanksgiving Leftovers

Jennifer Lopez’s Las Vegas residency will air nationally on CBS this Thanksgiving. The network premieres The JLO Show: Live in Las Vegas on November 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. An extended version streams exclusively on Paramount+.

The residency consisted of four acts — “I’ll See You in My Dreams,” “Tales from Manhattan,” “Kiss Kiss, Kill Kill,” and “Shall We Dance” — with a setlist spanning more than two decades. It featured hits including “Waiting for Tonight,” “Jenny from the Block,” “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” “Get Right,” “On the Floor,” and “Let’s Get Loud.”

Lopez opened the engagement on December 30, 2025. The televised version documents closing night on March 28, 2026 and blends performance with autobiographical narration.

As first reported by Casino.org News, the details cover both the new heavy metal booking and the broadcast of the prior pop residency at the same venue.
