Debbie Gibson brings Winterlicious home to The Strat in December
The '80s pop original plays five holiday shows in The Strat Showroom December 17–20 - her first solo headlining run in the city she's called home since 2009.
Debbie Gibson will play a five-show holiday run, "Winterlicious Holiday & Hits," in The Strat Showroom December 17–20. The announcement came August 24, and it carries a nice bit of Vegas trivia: Gibson has lived in Las Vegas since 2009, yet this is her first solo headlining engagement in her adopted hometown.
The set leans on her Winterlicious holiday album - now expanded with six new originals - stacked alongside the hits that made her the youngest artist ever to write, produce and perform a Billboard No. 1 single ("Foolish Beat," at age 17). Expect "Lost in Your Eyes," "Shake Your Love" and "Only in My Dreams" wrapped in holiday material rather than a straight greatest-hits night.
Tickets start at $91.56 and go on sale Friday, August 28 at 10 a.m. Pacific through TheStrat.com or the hotel box office. The Showroom is a genuinely intimate room by Strip standards (about 640 seats), so this is closer to a theater date than an arena spectacle.
December visitors get one more reason to ride north: The Strat sits at the top of the Strip, an easy add to a holiday itinerary built around the lights and displays in our Christmas in Las Vegas guide.
Our take: a solid pick for the holiday week if '80s pop is your language - the room is small, the price is mid-tier and December Vegas is thin on genuinely festive shows. If the nostalgia doesn't land for you, spend the evening on the free resort displays instead.
