Residency show

A residency show is a series of concerts (typically of live music), similar to a concert tour, but only performed at one location.[1][2][3] Though residency shows have been a staple of Las Vegas Strip for decades, the term itself appears to be more recent. One of the earliest online/print references is a 2010 article by Robin Leach.[4] According to Billboard, Celine Dion's A New Day... is the most successful residency show of all time, grossing over US$385 million ($440.11 million in 2016 dollars)[5] and drawing nearly three million people to 717 shows.[6]She performed her record breaking 1000th overall Las Vegas show on October 8,2016.
