A fancy private reception took place two weeks ago to welcome Carrie Underwood back to Las Vegas. Executives from Resorts World and AEG Presents, other invite-only VIPs and a handful of media guests showed up at the Crockfords Hotel lobby to toast the country music megastar, who arrived in a red Rolls Royce.

That sort of thing doesn’t happen every time a resident headliner comes back to the Strip to perform. The continuation of Underwood’s Reflection show at Resorts World Theatre—it resumed on June 21 and returns to the stage for two more summer performances this week before breaking until September—marks a special occasion, since she hasn’t performed in Las Vegas since December.
