Tony Bennett’s Las Vegas career spanned El Rancho Vegas in the early 1950s, through the Copa Room at the Sands and the Rat Pack era, landing at performances with Lady Gaga at at Park MGM.
Bennett, who died Friday at age 96, last appeared in Las Vegas with Gaga at then-Park Theater, now Dolby Live, in June 2019.
“We have a guest tonight, a living legend!” Gaga shouted in the Sunday performance of her “Jazz + Piano” show. The announcement of Bennett’s name was nearly inaudible for the crowd’s response. “What an audience!” Bennett called out. The two then sang “Cheek to Cheek” the title of their 2014 album and subsequent world tour, and “The Lady is a Tramp.”
