Elton John Hologram Residency Coming to Las Vegas

Elton John Signs Deal for First-Ever Hologram Residency at New Hard Rock Las Vegas

Published July 6, 2026

Elton John has signed a deal to headline a hologram residency at a new Hard Rock hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, according to reports that surfaced this week. The show would make him one of the first major recording artists to build an entire Vegas residency around a hologram performance instead of a live one. No venue opening date or ticket details have been confirmed yet.

The Deal Behind the Hologram Show

Details are still emerging, but multiple outlets reported this week that Elton John signed a multimillion-dollar agreement tied to the new Hard Rock Las Vegas property, expected to use hologram technology to recreate his live show for audiences after his touring days are done. Hologram concerts have popped up around the world in recent years, but a dedicated Strip residency built around one would be a first for a city that has built its identity on in-person residencies and Las Vegas tribute shows long before hologram technology entered the picture. Elton John wrapped his farewell tour, Farewell Yellow Brick Road, in 2023, so a hologram format would let him keep a Vegas presence without stepping on stage himself. It also fits a broader shift on the Strip toward tech-driven entertainment, the same trend that has powered Sphere’s immersive concert films and visual displays over the past two years.

You Can See Elton John’s Music in Vegas Right Now

The hologram residency does not have an opening date, so if you want an Elton John fix on your next trip, two tribute shows are already running on the Strip. Sir Elton performs Mondays and Tuesdays at Alexis Park Resort with tickets from $40, working through the catalog note for note. Elton John & The Beatles: Made In England combines both songbooks in one show at LaMarre Theater, with performances Thursday through Saturday from $52.

Both lean into the piano-and-glasses spectacle the real Elton John built his career on, and neither requires waiting on a hologram announcement. Check Las Vegas music shows this month to see what else is playing the same week.

What This Means for Your Vegas Trip

If the hologram show does open, expect it to anchor the new Hard Rock property the way headline residencies anchor Caesars Palace or Resorts World. Until then, pair a tribute show with a night on the Strip. Alexis Park sits a short rideshare from the main Strip corridor, and LaMarre Theater is walkable from several Strip resorts, so neither show requires reworking your itinerary. Both venues run smaller theaters than the megaresort showrooms, which means a more intimate setting if you’d rather skip the arena-scale crowds a future hologram show would likely draw.
