The singer-songwriter behind 24K Magic and Uptown Funk has been a mainstay at the Park MGM since 2016, performing over 100 shows throughout the years.
His residency continues to be one of the hottest tickets in Las Vegas, but recent chatter around Mars’ continued performances hasn’t only been about the music.
In March, a NewsNation report alleged that Mars may be working off a massive gambling debt rumoured to be as high as $50 million racked up at MGM’s poker tables.
The story, which cited unnamed sources, claimed that “[MGM] basically own him,” going so far as to suggest that although Mars earns around $90 million a year from the deal, he only walks away with $1.5 million per night after taxes due to the supposed debt.
MGM Resorts International quickly pushed back on the claims.
In a statement issued to Complex, the company said:
“We’re proud of our relationship with Bruno Mars, one of the world’s most thrilling and dynamic performers. From his shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM to the new Pinky Ring lounge at Bellagio, Bruno’s brand of entertainment attracts visitors from around the globe. MGM and Bruno's partnership is longstanding and rooted in mutual respect.”
“Any speculation otherwise is completely false; he has no debt with MGM. Together, we are excited to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our guests.”
Bruno himself responded with humour in an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s John Katsilometes, playfully referencing the outlandish rumours:
“I love the lore that I am a Las Vegas lounge singer in debt to the mob. I can work with that.”
Despite the chatter, the demand for Mars' residency remains sky-high.
Presale tickets for the new dates go live on Thursday, 1 May at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster, with the general public sale following on Friday, 2 May.
Earlier this year, in January, Mars had already extended his run with seven additional shows, proving his residency is not only resilient but expanding.
Whether it’s for the music, the spectacle, or the myths surrounding him, one thing’s clear: Bruno Mars isn't leaving Las Vegas any time soon.
