The two-year concert series played its first show at the MGM Park Theater and immediately made clear that Mother Monster was not here to play.

The setlist spanned the length and breadth of her career – interweaving hits such as ‘Just Dance’ and ‘Bad Romance’ with newer numbers like ‘Million Reasons’ and ‘Shallow’ from ‘A Star Is Born.’

Lady Gaga makes her grand debut on the Las Vegas strip this evening when her ‘Enigma’ show takes up residency at the Park Theater.

Easily one of the most anticipated spectacles of this year and next, the concert series is already being hailed as a game-changer for Sin City – which has been experiencing a transformation in recent times.

Once the desert where careers went to wither, contemporary Pop stars have delivered electrifying bolts of relevance with various residencies – making a lucrative Vegas residency one of the most appealing gigs going.

As for what Gaga will be delivering? Beyond the fact she’s playing TWO shows (one Pop, one stripped back Jazz), she’s been relatively mum on details. Opting instead to tease.

Moments ago, she unwrapped the most measured insight into the show – which looks to be a high-tech affair.

From his rendition of Michael Jackson‘s ‘Dirty Diana,’ Ella Mai‘s ‘Trip’ and Soul For Real‘s ‘Candy Rain’ to recently butchering adding his personal touch to Donny Hathaway‘s time-honored holiday cut, ‘This Christmas,’ self-proclaimed ‘R&B King’ Jacquees has earned quite the reputation for his many covers – a royal pain to a number of R&B music lovers.
