Bruno Mars kicked off his 77-city Romantic Tour on April 10 at a sold-out Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, where he received a parade, a street named after him and the key to the city. The performance featured live debuts from his recent album The Romantic and a surprise Silk Sonic reunion with Anderson .Paak. The event marked several milestones, including his first stadium tour.
Bruno Mars celebrated the launch of The Romantic Tour with an all-day event in Las Vegas on April 10. A parade organized by MGM Resorts honored his contributions to the city's entertainment scene, including a record-breaking residency. Officials renamed Park Avenue to Bruno Mars Drive—only the second street connected to the Las Vegas Strip named for a celebrity after Elvis Presley—and declared it Bruno Mars Day. He received the key to the city, a state flag from the governor and the title 'King of Las Vegas.' Mars also pledged $1 million to the future Intermountain Health Nevada Children’s Hospital. Bill Hornbuckle, CEO of MGM Resorts International, praised Mars as 'one of the most electrifying performers of our time' who has drawn hundreds of thousands of visitors to Las Vegas. The two-hour concert drew over 60,000 fans and featured a 26-song setlist blending hits from all four of his albums and collaborations. Mars opened with 'Risk It All' from his 2026 album The Romantic, debuting eight of its nine tracks live, including 'Cha Cha Cha,' 'On My Soul' and 'Dance With Me.' The show included reimagined versions of '24K Magic' and 'Treasure,' a 'Perm' and 'Finesse' mashup, and songs like 'Uptown Funk,' 'It Will Rain' and 'Die With a Smile' with Lady Gaga. Anderson .Paak, performing as DJ Pee Wee opener, joined for a Silk Sonic reunion—their first in nearly four years—featuring 'Leave the Door Open,' 'Smokin Out the Window' and three others. During banter, .Paak joked about Mars' gambling reputation, saying, 'When I think about how much debt … I mean how many steps it took to get here.' Mars replied, 'I’m debt-free. I paid the casino off a long time ago.' The tour, Mars' first world tour in nearly a decade and first in North American stadiums, continued on April 11 at the same venue.
