The iconic pop star and sister to the late Michael Jackson previously completed a sold-out, 10-day residency from December through January of this year at Resorts World.

The Vegas hotel signed on to bring Janet, 59, back for shorter run in February that stretched over Valentine's Day, and then again this week from May 21 through May 31 with six shows.

But with the big opening night just one day away, ticket sales on AXS show a majority of seats in the 5,000 person venue still available.

The other dates do not look much more packed than the premiere.

Prices range from just above $50 to $444 a seat, according to the ticketing site.

If you're hoping to meet the That's the Way Love Goes songstress, you may be out of luck; none of the VIP packages appear to offer a meet and greet.

You will, however, receive orchestra seats and a photo opportunity on the hotel's steps and repeat, among other perks.

The famed hotel on the strip heralded Janet's run saying she was bringing her residency there "On the heels of her highly successful Together Again Tour, the megastar will bring JANET JACKSON: LAS VEGAS to the one-of-a-kind venue for performances throughout 2025."

The hotel's venue site boasted that Janet is "one of the most influential entertainers of the modern era. Her music has won her 5 GRAMMY® Awards, 2 Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, a nomination for an Academy Award, and dozens of American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, and Billboard Music Awards."

A rep for Janet did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

RESIDENCY DEBUT

Janet, 58, began her residency in December with an impressive two-hour show that showcased her extensive catalog of hits.

She performed an incredible 43 songs, including Young Love, which she hadn’t sung live in over a decade.

This residency follows her Together Again tour, which included 35 performances.

A source revealed to The U.S. Sun that the potential mini-series would "explore Janet’s privileged yet challenging upbringing, her rise to fame, and her relationship with her brother Michael Jackson."

She has sold an astonishing 100 million records throughout her career.

The youngest of the Jackson siblings, Janet is a five-time Grammy Award winner and has been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Last year, Janet was in discussions to turn her life story into a biopic.

Speaking of biopic's, a source tells In Touch, “Janet is holding off on any career retrospective project of her own for the time being out of respect for the rest of her family,” including Michael Jackson’s children, who control his estate, and her nephew Jaafar, who stars in the upcoming MJ biopic.

The insider adds,

“Janet, like everybody else, is extremely curious about how it’s all going to turn out. She’s not making any decisions about how she will portray her own legacy until the fate of the Michael movie is determined … Right now, Michael’s story comes first…”
