Marley Magic at Mandalay Bay* Marley Mania at the Venetian* Pitbull's Back at the Fontainebleau
Get ready to groove as Bob Marley Hope Road opens its doors June 25 at Mandalay Bay. This self-guided, interactive museum will paint a vibrant portrait of the legendary reggae artist, both day and night. During the daytime, you'll find yourself immersed in captivating exhibits, such as a replica of Marley's Trench Town home. As the sun sets, the vibe gets lively with live performances every 30 minutes from 5-10 p.m.
Displaced by the pandemic, the Bayside Buffet space will now serve as the hub for all things Marley. Since buffets are virtually extinct on the Strip these days, the change is not entirely surprising[1]. Tickets, ranging from $49 to $124 (not including fees), are available now through the official website[2].
Singer, Singer, Catchy Tune?
Band devotees, unite! Foreigner: The Hits Orchestral will rock the halls of The Venetian from March 6-14, 2026. Tickets will go on sale soon, roughly a year ahead of time, yet fans have displayed patience in the past – the band didn't enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until October 2024, despite being eligible for 22 years[3].
Guessing games are a part of the Foreigner experience, and the lineup is no exception. Kelly Hansen, taking over for Lou Gramm in 2005, is likely to belt out the hits. However, rumors swirl about a Gramm reunion for the Latin American tour, which kicks off April 28, 2025. The queries mount about whether he might also appear in the 2026 Vegas shows[3][4].
For the Latin American leg, Luis Maldonado will be the main vocalist, while local singer Geordie Brown will take the lead for a 13-show stint in Canada[4]. With Hansen facing residency woes, preventing his international performances[5], questions about the Vegas lineup remain unanswered, leaving fans waiting for official confirmations.
Snag your tickets for the Venetian dates starting April 25, 2025, at 10 a.m. PT on Ticketmaster.com and VenetianLasVegas.com.
