Space Cadet: Katy Perry's residency at Resorts World lost millions, and now she's not invited back

[Kim Lee]

they foolishly paid her $750k-$900k per show, due to a bidding war with Caesars. In order to justify that salary, each show needed to be a sellout.

Dan, did you write this article, or copy it?

Anyway, Resorts obviously knew the cost. IIRC, Caesars paid Celine Dion more than ticket revenues, but their casino win was hundreds of thousands of dollars higher per night. People who spend hundreds of dollars on Celine Dion tickets can afford to lose a few thousand at the tables. Katy Perry fans probably go to bars or nightclubs after the show.

Smart observation. I had similar thoughts just don't know enough about Kate Perry to form an opinion. MisterV did point out Charli XCX and / or Billie Eilish and I considered them (had to google charli) and they didn't seem like they'd bring in the right demographic but not a bad one.

I guess this is why washed up bands do so well on the casino circuit.. the people who want to go to those shows are older and will have more disposable income.

If you think about it in those terms it makes even more sense why LV casinos don't have black rappers and such. I always assumed it was for safety of other customers when the visitors "wild out" but it is likely also likely the simple fact that the people who like rap are far more likely to not have extra money to lose.

They're currently popular enough to bring in the clubbers as well as those a bit older.

Heck, I love their music and I'm a baby boomer...but yeah, last century I went clubbing on 'e" so I guess there is that.

Katy falling out of favor from the huge heights she was at roughly 17 years ago is hopefully a good warning to Gen Z Gen Alpha to SAVE money. Too many Gen Z and Gen Alpha think that if you are popular TODAY, you'll be financially set for LIFE which is not true. It just takes a couple of musical flops or controversies and today's big Star could be begging Fans for autograph money tomorrow. A Former Big Star was so broke, he ended up asking Fans for $20 for Autographs. Sad. So today's young people have to realize that fame is fleeting and they should be saving money.

She's worth like $400m.

Katy Perry is NOT a financial cautionary tale.

She's just an artistic one, in that she lost popularity by abandoning what made people like her in the first place.

400 Million is REALLY not that much money when you think about Taylor Swift and Rihanna who are both Billionaires and about 4 years younger than Katy. Taylor is worth about 1.6 Billion and Rihanna is around 1.4 Billion. They have more than three times the amount of money that Katy has and are almost half a decade younger than Katy.

As if you'd know; at least Katy isn't out begging strangers for money.

But that's nothing compared to a Russian oligarch who's worth trillions.

What type of things could someone with a billion or two afford to buy that a person with $400 Million could not?

LV casinos don't have black rappers ... [because] people who like rap are far more likely to not have extra money to lose.

Beach towns stopped welcoming "Black Beach Week" and "Bike (motorcycle) Week" because the events brought little money and lots of misbehavior. Towns made one-way streets to stop cruising and instituted restricted parking. Four youths sharing liquor in their motel room doesn't spread wealth.

Bellagio and Wynn casinos only allow strollers for hotel guests. Steve Wynn said he didn't want guests in their twenties because they have no money, and doesn't want guests in their thirties because they have kids, which means they have no disposable money. Wayne Newton hasn't had a Billboard hit since 1969's "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast." But he has been a Vegas fixture because his old fans have disposable income. Katy Perry is mostly good for bubble gum sales.

Maybe the dumbest thing you ever posted in a history of moronic posts. But it’s worth a story.

Tasha had an epiphany one day and had to tell Mammie. “Mammie Iz not been poor no more”. Mammie said what are you talking about, we all as poor as poor can be. If we wasn’t poor I’d be able to buy Clorox to clean these damn floors you shit on.

“Nose Mammie, I just gets mes ‘some mony from mys casino friends and iz gets me $400”. “And mys friend Darryl hez only has $100 so iz not been poor no mo” Trying to explain to her that she’s still dumb, ugly and poor wasn’t worth her time so Mammie just shook her head, sparked up the glass pipe and took a shot of Henny. Hopeful she would have a few minutes of numbness before her chores begin anew.

And like clockwork Tasha wanted to celebrate no longer being poor, dropped her pants and dumped a fresh pile of used chicken and grape Fanta on the stained floor of their Section 8 unit.

Yes, 400 Million is a lot of money, but it's still a third of Rihanna and Taylor Swift's money.

Yes but Rihanna & Taylor Swift’s money is only about 1% of Elon Musk’s money.

And Elon can't hold a candle to what Putin has stashed away.

Time to introduce a new famibly member to Tasha’s adventures.

Tasha’s father was known by a few names, Daddy to her, Banjo to his friends and Mammie along with Big Black to the students at the school he worked as a janitor, though few knew his birth name of Calvin.

Banjo was a beloved figure at the school by both the staff and the students. He worked hard, always showed up early for work and made sure the restrooms were spotless. Long term staff also knew of his daughter Tasha, a student at the school decades earlier. Most had long forgotten her name and just remembered her as the girl who always shit on the classroom floors. And Banjo as the guy they called to clean it up.

Banjo would dread coming home from work, always wondering what adventure he would have to deal with today. From Mammie being passed out drunk & high to Tasha asking him for money to go gambling again, he was unappreciated at home. To him the school was a sanctuary from his family. He often wondered why his let his well endowed member get the best of him 40 years earlier. In fact for years he made his spawn wear a shirt that said “My daddy only wanted a blowjob”.

But today was going to be different and he knew it when he walked in the faded door and heard his regretfully dumped load yelling “Daddy’s, wez not bez po no mo!” Having been around her for years he had heard all the stupid stories of plans to get money. And the first thought in his mind was wondering if she finally find someone to pay her to shit on them? Asking if she finally met a man she said “Daddy use nose I beez asexual” “No daddy iz rich now, iz got $400 from mys casino friends”.

Banjo scratched his head and said without thinking, what is wrong with you, knowing the answers were too multiple for her to answer with. “No daddy use don’t understand, my friend Darryl onbly hz a $100 and dats isn’t that much” “But iz has 5 times hez hz, like dat white lady dat sings an shez be rich and shez has only 3 times dat lady dat went on da rocket ship”. “

To be continued!

Where I lived they closed down malls during the state track meets which were notorious for black youth. A lot of screaming of racism but the mall owners were like just this isn't worth it. A shame on many levels.

Just save up for a penis enlargement and leave Tasha alone.

This is true, but for an abstract concept it can (rightly or wrongly) sure make a large impact on the type of life you are able to live.

The one with the most is the one who finds him/herself with enough.

Anyway, just, noticed that the

avatar starts with G-BOT, and, ends with g-pet.

The old double-acrostic. Ha.

I miss the 90s. They don’t make films like this anymore.

[mickeycrimm]

Crimm should stick to the



because almost every time he opens his mouth to comment on the things serious men contemplate, he makes an ass of himself with his partisanship. At least explain why you say what you say, instead of just parroting Grumpian twaddles.

Mdawg takes it up the ass. mcrap takes it up his vagina.

This was the point made about you and your ad hominem attacks, you act ignorantly and have weak opinions you cannot defend with substance, so you employ garbage like this.

Mcrap and acunt always ad hominem me first. Mcrap has no arguments, but you are to dumb to see that, and acunts arguments are lefty weak. They always attack me out of the blue. then I respond. Thats the way its been from the start, theyareshittinginyourmouth.

My opinions are strong and always backed up with facts. Work on your reading comprehension, assclown.
