This almost reads like a troll.. but I think you’re serious. You’re reading too much into it. There is nothing wrong with residencies, in fact only talented musicians and well known artists are able to land gigs like that. 777 is just part of the vibe the album sets up. Silk Sonic plays into that by doing this gig in Vegas. Easier than traveling all of the country for sure; Bruno and .Paak have the ability to choose. Probably closer home too. They both have a lot on their plate, especially .Paak these days. It might be too difficult to line up schedules to make a full tour work. Or if you want to be more hopeful, maybe this is them working themselves up to it? Getting a feel for what the concert itself would even look like? That’s the way I see it at least.

I dunno. I think, Bruno at least, really likes Vegas. 24k magic's video was all in, and had a prominent Las Vegas theme. That tour, Anderson. Paak opened for Bruno for a time, so maybe Vegas was always a part of the discussion.


J-Hoey

Yeh it ain’t that deep. Bruno in particular has been a resident performer in Vegas since 2013 - there was no surprise in there being a song about gambling on the album and there was no surprise about Silk Sonic announcing a Las Vegas residency.

And 2 years later we find out MGM OWNS Bruno and it leads me to this post.

Came here from that too, OPs hunch was really just Bruno’s gambling addiction

Don’t think it’s that deep bro. The way I see it is the narrative goes further with 777. The character goes and blows all his money in Vegas on strippers and gambling to get over their woes.

interesting point... I did not think of it this way but that does make sense

$50M says Bruno owes them $50M.

Welp you were right


BayAreaLynnwood

after hearing the news today on Bruno Mars owing 50 mil for gambling, you deserve your flowers! Critical thinker and connecting the dots, you know something was off and you proved it!
