Superstar bringing the party back to the Strip

Mr. Worldwide is coming back to the Strip, playing a venue that matches his Miami Beach persona.

“Pitbull: Vegas After Dark The Residency” is playing BleauLive Theater at Fontainebleau for eight shows running November through March. Specific dates are Nov. 8-9, Jan. 24-25, March 7-8, and March 14-15.

“We are honored to have Mr. 305 himself bring his Miami flair to BleauLive Theater, for this iconic limited engagement,” Fontainebleau Las Vegas Senior Vice President of Entertainment Fedor Banuchi said in a statement.

Pitbull has previously headlined a partying residency production at Planet Hollywood from September 2015 through May 25 2019. Plans for his return in 2020 were thwarted by COVID.

The 41-year-old rap star’s Fontainebleau show will feature such hits as “Give Me Everything,” “Timber” and “Time of Our Lives,” and fan favorites like “International Love,” “Feel This Moment,” “Fireball” and “Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor).”

The entertainer whose legal name is Armando Christian Perez has opened a Miami Grill outpost at Walmart on East Serene Avenue in Henderson. Pitbull has been a partner in the chain, which originated in Key West in the early 1980s, for more than a decade.
