Entertainment legend Barry Manilow made a triumphant return to the stage at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino last week performing three sold-out shows July 9-11 at the legendary International Theater.

The highly anticipated return was met with overwhelming excitement as thousands of devoted fans – Fanilows! – welcomed the music icon back with thunderous applause, standing ovations and heartfelt admiration. Throughout the shows, audiences were on their feet singing, dancing and celebrating.

“It was great returning to the International Theater stage at Westgate Las Vegas,” Manilow said. “This is my home away from home.”

Manilow announced in December that he would be postponing performances to undergo surgery after being diagnosed with lung cancer. His return marked an emotional milestone for the performer and his generations of fans.

“Seeing Barry back on the International Theater stage was incredibly moving,” said Westgate President and GM Cami Christensen. “The love and admiration from our guests were undeniable from the moment he walked onstage.

“Barry’s resilience, extraordinary talent and genuine connection with his fans continue to inspire all of us. We are honored that Westgate is home to his lifetime residency and proud to welcome him back where he belongs.”

Manilow holds the record for the most performances in the storied history of the International Theater, further cementing his place as one of the most influential entertainers ever to perform in Las Vegas.

In 2024, he made history by signing the first-ever lifetime residency agreement with Westgate Las Vegas, ensuring that his remarkable legacy will continue on the stage where countless entertainment legends have performed.

Since launching “Manilow: Las Vegas – The Hits Come Home!” at Westgate in 2018, Manilow has performed for hundreds of thousands of fans while earning numerous accolades, including USA Today’s “Best Las Vegas Show,” Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Best Resident Performer and induction into the Las Vegas Magazine Hall of Fame with its Lifetime Achievement Award.

The production features many of Manilow’s timeless hits, including “Mandy,” “Copacabana,” “Can’t Smile Without You” and “I Write the Songs,” mixing unforgettable music with production and the storytelling that has made him one of the world’s most beloved performers.

For the first time ever, fans have the opportunity to experience Manilow’s career through his private memorabilia room. Now this can be experienced with the new VIP Gold Pass.
