What an era! Sir Rod Stewart took to the stage at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for the 200th time in total on Wednesday. For this performance and the 199 before it, the singer was honoured during the show by the regional president of Caesars, Sean McBurney, with a certificate and a lot of warm words.
It was not a show like any other - Rod Stewart's performance on 12 March 2025 went down in the city's history. It was not only the prelude to the singer's last Vegas concerts, but also this incredible anniversary. With his 200th concert in Sin City, Sir Rod finally joined a seemingly endless list of musicians who have made the biggest and most impressive mark on the Las Vegas entertainment scene over the course of their careers. At the top of this - unofficial - ranking are Barry Manilow (637) and King Elvis Presley (636) with well over 600 appearances in the gambling city.
‘I'm a bit nervous,’ said Rod shortly before the start of the show in view of his anniversary. But there was no sign of that on stage. The Brit rocked Caesars, just as he had done 199 times before: With his big hits, jumping, dancing and always with that special mischievous look in his eyes and a big grin on his face.
Rod Stewart's concerts are by no means just a dull string of great hits, but simply pure entertainment. Well over 20 years in Las Vegas have helped Sir Rod and his team enormously to perfect the entire show and turn an evening with Sir Rod into a real ‘happening’ - a successful mix of music and entertainment.
Visibly moved, Stewart accepted the certificate of honour for his 200th performance from the hands of the Regional President of Caesars Palace and commented with full (and deserved) pride: ‘Amazing! My 200th Las Vegas residency show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace - simply incredible! What a journey it's been!’
This journey began for Rod Stewart in 2011 and continued until 2024, mostly with two annual concert sets - in spring/summer and autumn. His 200th show was originally planned for November last year, but had to be postponed at the time due to the Brit's vocal problems.
