TOTAL CONTROL

With a deep well of smash hits to draw upon, Janet Jackson extends her exclusive residency at Resorts World Theatre — and fans say it’s a don’t-miss experience.

Following her sold-out residency debut over New Year’s Week, five-time Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Janet Jackson is embarking on an extension of “Janet Jackson: Las Vegas,” at the Resorts World Theatre inside Resorts World Las Vegas. Jackson makes her highly anticipated return to the stage on February 5, 7, 8, 12, 14, and 15 — then comes back in the spring on May 21, 24, 25, 28, 30, and 31. Tickets for all performances are on sale now on AXS.com. 

Jackson closed out 2024 on an unforgettable high note for fans, making her sold-out debut at the 5,000-seat theater. Each performance of “Janet Jackson: Las Vegas” is packed with the electric, high-energy, chart-topping hits that the megastar is famous for — including iconic hits and deep cuts from her decades-long career like “Control,” “All For You,” and “Together Again,” among others — complemented by dazzling wardrobe moments created by Thom Browns.

There’s no question about it: Janet Jackson is among the most influential entertainers of the modern era. Her music has won her five Grammys, two Emmys, a Golden Globe Award, an Academy Award nomination, along with dozens of American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards. She has received accolades as an actress as well — including the NAACP Best Supporting Actor award. Janet is a published author, dancer, businessperson, philanthropist and one of the biggest-selling artists in popular music history. With sales of over 180 million records worldwide, she stands as one of the best-selling artists of all time, with a string of hits that have left an indelible impression on pop culture. She is the record holder for the biggest selling debut tour in history and is the first woman to debut in the Top 10 of the Hot 100 charts. 

She also stands as one of only four artists to have a #1 album in four successive decades — alongside Barbara Streisand, Bruce Springsteen and U2. Even today she continues to make an undeniable impact: her 2018 single, “Made for Now,” with Daddy Yankee, released by her own Rhythm Nation Records, hit #1 on the Dance Clubs Songs chart — making it her 20th single on the chart. In 2019, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside her brothers (The Jacksons); and in the same year her critically acclaimed Las Vegas residency, “Metamorphosis” closed out to record breaking ticket sales with only 18 dates at the Park MGM’s Park Theater. As reported by Billboard Boxscore, the legendary singer, dancer, songwriter, producer, and actress is among the biggest Vegas performers of this decade — ahead of Celine Dion (2011), Britney Spears (2013) and the Backstreet Boys (2017). Her critically acclaimed and award-winning documentary “Janet Jackson,” drew over 20 million viewers in one week. 

On February 4, 2021, Janet Jackson’s iconic, mega platinum-selling third album, “Control,” turned 35. The album also returned to the top of the charts, hitting #1 on the Apple Top 40 US Pop Album chart. Led by five chart-busting hit singles — “What Have You Done for Me Lately,” “Nasty,” “Control,” “When I Think of You,” — with their complementary, tightly choreographed music videos — and “Let’s Wait Awhile,” “Control” became Jackson’s first No. 1 Pop album. The album also made Billboard chart history with the longest continuous run on the Hot 100 with singles from one album, ultimately tallying 65 consecutive weeks from that perch. To date, “Control” has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. 

In 2023, her highly successful “Together Again” tour became the icon’s highest selling trek of her career, featuring 36 sold-out shows and receiving rave reviews from fans and press. Okayplayer noted, “Janet has still got it, serving as our beloved sex symbol, superstar, and Queen of Pop that no one has come close to emulating.” The Chicago Tribune declared, “Being a performer, a showstopper, a true delight is not just what Janet Jackson does. It is who she is.” And the Boston Globe exclaimed, “Jackson is a killer live act.”
