Entertainment production company Silent House Group is not based in Las Vegas, but “Vegas has been the hotbed for us lately,” says CEO Baz Halpin. His first effort on the Las Vegas Strip was working on Cher’s concert residency at Caesars Palace, and the breakthrough of Britney Spears’ show at Planet Hollywood occurred in the early days of Silent House.

“That’s when it really felt like the floodgates started to open up,” he says. “Pop residencies just ignited.”

Halpin has produced or collaborated on many of those residencies, including shows starring Adele, Maroon 5 and Katy Perry. He also helped develop and launch Awakening at Wynn, and beyond Las Vegas, his company has expanded in both concert and live event production and transferring those experiences to TV and movies.
