<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe Live Debuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\tMars fully embraced opening night as a way to share new material from The Romantic<\/em>, and because he hasn\u2019t performed much of it outside of the Grammys, the show was packed with live debuts. In fact, eight of the album\u2019s nine songs made the setlist (except \u201cNothing Left\u201d). They are woven through the first chapter alongside some of his earlier blockbuster hits.<\/p>\n\n\tSequencing out of \u201cRisk It All,\u201d \u201cCha Cha Cha\u201d pulled the crowd straight into a funk dreamscape as he hit the congas, releasing a flood of energy. Then \u201cOn My Soul\u201d arrived as a pyrotechnic spectacle; it\u2019s clear no one lights up an arena quite like the expanded band, a 12-member Hooligans to support this major effort. After those three live debuts, there was a reimagined version of \u201c24K Magic\u201d in the air, followed by \u201cTreasure,\u201d before veering back to the all-new \u201cGod Was Showing Off,\u201d complete with an angel baby cam spotlighting sweet faces in the crowd.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI Just Might\u201d kept the momentum before the James Brown-coded \u201cPerm\u201d mashed up with \u201cFinesse\u201d \u2014 cape and all \u2014 created a moment of frenzy. Then came the shift: \u201cWhy You Wanna Fight?\u201d and a \u201cLow Rider\u201d medley featuring classics like The Chi-Lites\u2019 \u201cOh Girl,\u201d The Stylistics\u2019 \u201cEverything\u201d and Roger Troutman\u2019s \u201cI Want to Be Your Man\u201dto explore the other side of love \u2014 the tension, the unraveling \u2014 underscored by stormy visuals and a classic red low rider rolling onto the stage, a wink to Bruno Mars\u2019 \u201cDrive.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cSomething Serious\u201d arrived with a searing, guitar-driven intensity that channeled a full-on, Hendrix-style jam session. A Silk Sonic reunion followed this first chapter, then a third scene of \u201cBruno bangers,\u201d ending with the night\u2019s final live debut and the closer, the melodic slow-dance jam \u201cDance With Me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\nThe Return of Silk Sonic<\/h2>\n\n\n\tNot surprisingly, Anderson .Paak\u2019s alter ego, DJ Pee Wee, is Mars\u2019 opener for The Romantic Tour. What the audience was not expecting was a full-scale Silk Sonic reunion that brought .Paak onstage with Mars for a second chapter dedicated to their supergroup and its 2021 award-winning album. This was the first time they have performed as Silk Sonic in almost four tears. The show-within-a-show featured their five hits: \u201cBlast Off,\u201d \u201c777,\u201d \u201cFly as Me,\u201d \u201cSmokin Out the Window,\u201d and \u201cLeave the Door Open.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
\nGambling Debt-Free<\/h2>\n\n\n\tLeading into \u201cLeave the Door Open,\u201d the duo exchanged banter about Mars\u2019 often gossiped-about love of gambling. \u201cWhen I think about how much debt \u2026 I mean how many steps it took to get here,\u201d .Paak joked. In return, Mars clapped back, \u201cI\u2019m debt-free. I paid the casino off a long time ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
\nNo Album Left Unplayed<\/h2>\n\n\n\tAll four of Mars\u2019 albums and his major collaborations received love throughout the two-hour event. Mars threaded together his biggest hits from 24K Magic<\/em>, Unorthodox Jukebox<\/em> and Doo-Wops & Hooligans<\/em>, blending the eras into a cohesive work that feels timeless. The set also dipped into \u201cIt Will Rain,\u201d \u201cUptown Funk\u201d and the Gaga duet \u201cDie With a Smile.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n- \n
\nSuperstar-Coded<\/h2>\n\n\n\tWhile many acts feel compelled to lean into the clich\u00e9 \u201cViva Las Vegas\u201d bonus track during their Strip tour stop, Mars didn\u2019t overstate the obvious. He isn\u2019t just Sammy, Dean or Frank; he is the entire Rat Pack in one. Don\u2019t forget Elvis, Hendrix, Prince and Michael Jackson \u2014 and, of course, James Brown \u2014 all omnipresent in his superstar-coded performance style.<\/p>\n
\n\tEarlier in the day, during his parade, where he was called the \u201cnew King of Las Vegas,\u201d he became the second celebrity in history to have a street named after him connected to the Las Vegas Strip, as Park Avenue was renamed Bruno Mars Drive. (Sammy, Frank and Dean\u2019s streets do not intersect with Las Vegas Boulevard.) The first was Elvis Presley, marking a true full-circle moment \u2014 as a kid, he performed as an Elvis impersonator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
