"Vegas was the place where your career is over and you're really old, you go there, and you just play like in a bar at night and that's the end of it," he said. "Now, people are coming to Vegas at the height of their career.
"We've done so many things in our careers and we've always talked, even when we were kids, it was like 'one day we'll do Vegas when we get older.' Well, we're not that old but we're here and we're going to do it, and it seems like it's been a long time coming."
They follow in the footsteps of so many other superstars like Celine Dion, Lady Gaga and U2, who kicked off the opening of the Sphere in 2023.
Shania Twain is currently performing at Planet Hollywood playing all of her hits. While Twain always sports an iconic look during her shows, her fans also come prepared in their best "Shania" look.
"You know the audience inspires me every night, I'm people watching," she said. "I really notice it they put an effort, and they get into the spirit."
