KYLIE Minogue’s debut Las Vegas residency is in such high demand that her first run of shows has sold out within just a few hours of going on sale.
The Australian music icon, 55, is due to kick off her first run of shows in Sin City on November 3 – with the first ten dates going on sale on Tuesday.

Within minutes fans around the world were scrambling to get tickets and the overwhelming demand temporarily crashed the website.
For what will be Kylie’s most intimate gigs in over a decade, prices start at at $200 (£170) for standing tickets, rising up to $2000 for bottle service tables.
A source said: “It was crazy. At one point the digital queue to get to the page to get through was over seven hundred hours.
“Kylie is a huge artist in the UK and Europe and obviously back home in Aus but American has always been that one place she’s left to crack – if the past 24 hours is anything to by she’a finally done it.”
The Spinning Around singer will set up camp at exclusive new venue Voltaire inside The Venetian Tower.
The state of the start venue has been themed on a cabaret show and will hold just 1,000 lucky fans.
Teasing the shows, Kylie told The Sun last month: “It’s been like literal blood, sweat and tears. Bruises, sleepless nights, all of those things.
“But the pay-off and what keeps me going is there’s a moment in a show where you feel like you are weightless or you’re surfing.

“I’ve always thought that shows are a cosmic thing because we come with energy and the fans come with energy.
“They’ve got their babysitter, they’re taking the time off work, they’re spending their hard-earned money to come to a show or they have dressed up.
“They come with so much energy before the curtains are raised. They’re really amazing. So the blood, sweat and tears is all worth it.”
For decades Kylie, who has sold more than 80million records, has played to sold-out arenas around the world.
But it has been four years since her last big stage show after the pandemic put paid to her world tour plans.
The Sun first told how Kylie was locked in secret talks to follow the likes of Britney Spears and Sir Elton John to Vegas last year.
While Kylie will kick things off in Vegas just weeks after the release of her sixteenth album Tension, her set list in Las Vegas will be a greatest hits show rather than focus fully on her new record.
Upcoming album track Vegas High – an electronic pop banger of a song – will be on the set list as will lead single Padam Padam.
Since it’s release in Padam Padam has gone on to become a global smash – becoming Kylie’s highest charting entry in the UK since 2011.
