From Liberace to Elvis, Celine Dion to U2, and now starting this weekend with the Eagles; the Las Vegas Residency is a unique way for artists to reach their audience without the expense and exhaustion of a tour.
Spanning just 4.2 miles the Las Vegas Strip is visited by over 40 million visitors a year intent on the type of entertainment they can't find in their home towns.
Music icons like Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, The Spinners, The Animals, Santana, Dionne Warwick and many others made the inaugural Fool in Love Festival impossible to resist.
There were so many acts that top-selling groups like The Jacksons, The Pointer Sisters, and SOS Band were only allotted 15 minutes to shine.
Sporting a jersey of Chicago Bears legend Walter Payton, Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder led his band through a pair of memorable nights at the friendly confines of Wrigley Field.
Though the grunge band is often known as a Seattle group, Vedder was born in the nearby lakefront city of Evanston and has never been shy to take pride in his hometown.
