Chris Brown is returning to Las Vegas for a residency at Drai\u2019s on the Strip — a venue at which he performed during the LIVE concert series in 2015.<\/p>\n

The Grammy-winning artist\u2019s return to the famed nightclub is described as a \u201cmulti-year\u201d residency, but the exact length of the contract isn\u2019t yet public. Brown\u2019s latest Sin City residency kicks off on June 11 and tickets are on sale today.<\/p>\n

Chris Brown helped define Drai\u2019s LIVE and what has become an unmatched lineup of residency performers on the Las Vegas Strip,\u201d<\/strong> said Dustin Drai, vice president of entertainment, Drai\u2019s Management Group, in a statement. \u201cHe\u2019s one of the most dynamic live performers today, and we\u2019re thrilled to welcome him back with a production that\u2019s set to deliver an unprecedented fan experience.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As is often the case with high-end Las Vegas nightclubs<\/a>, it costs more to be a man. Literally. Drai\u2019s web site lists ticket prices for Brown\u2019s June 11 performance at $60 for men and $40 women, respectively. Dance floor tables are priced at $8,000, while upper booth seating ranges from $3,000 to $4,000. Those prices include bottle service.<\/p>\n

Drai\u2019s expects to announce more dates for Brown\u2019s residency in the future.<\/p>\n

Brown Likely to Bank in Vegas<\/h2>\n

Financial terms of Brown\u2019s Drai\u2019s residency weren\u2019t announced. But it\u2019s likely the artist who\u2019s been nominated for more than 20 Grammys will be more than adequately compensated.<\/p>\n

\n

In 2019, it was reported rapper Drake, with whom Brown has frequently collaborated, signed a $10 million residency deal to perform 12 shows over two years at XS Nightclub<\/a> at Wynn Las Vegas. Earlier this year, it was revealed Adele was set to make nearly $680,000 per show at Caesars Palace, not including merchandise sales. That agreement fell through, and the pop star is rumored to be shopping for another Strip venue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bottom line: Las Vegas residencies are cash cows for artists, and the bigger the name, the larger the compensation. With north of 193 million units in global record sales, Brown certainly qualifies as a \u201cbig name.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown Has Vegas History<\/h2>\n

Like so many athletes and celebrities, Brown has some interesting Las Vegas history. In January 2016, a woman accused the artist of battering her at the Palms and stealing her cell phone.<\/p>\n

The Clark County district attorney\u2019s office ultimately decided against pressing misdemeanor battery and theft charges. Las Vegas Metro Police later described the case as \u201csuspended.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown was in Las Vegas for a New Year\u2019s weekend performance at Drai\u2019s when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
