Vegas Music News: From Jessica Simpson’s Comeback to Live Shows at Las Vegas Casinos. The excitement surrounding Las Vegas casinos is reaching a fever pitch as Jessica Simpson has recently announced a highly anticipated one-night-only concert at Planet Hollywood’s PH Live, set for November 8. This stellar performance adds even more star power to the world-class entertainment options found throughout Las Vegas casinos, marking her long-awaited return to the music scene after a significant hiatus.

Jessica last graced the stage in Las Vegas on May 8, 2009, during a benefit concert for the Rape Crisis Center at the Pearl at the Palms. After stepping back from music to focus on motherhood and her clothing line, Jessica authored a New York Times bestselling memoir, “Open Book,” in 2021.
