On Friday, Adele’s Las Vegas residency triumphantly kicked off its five-month-long run. The venue was filled with celebrities and dedicated fans, some returning after initially planned shows were canceled in January. The excitement was palpable as we anticipated what the performance had in store.
3. The Show
“Weekends with Adele” starts small and builds to an epic finish, covering Adele’s top hits with plenty of engaging dialogue in between. The show commenced with a simple, black A-frame set for the iconic ballad “Hello,” which illuminated as massive screens surrounding the audience showcased a close-up of Adele. This was just the introduction to several exciting elements that make the residency notable.
3.1 Special Moments
During “I Drink Wine,” the A-frame walls moved aside to reveal the band and a large, glittery chandelier. For “Skyfall,” a screen lifted to unveil a stunning 24-piece string section. Moments like rainfall and bursts of flames during “Set Fire to the Rain” and a confetti exit were particularly memorable.

Adele walked through the crowd during “When We Were Young,” sharing cherished memories against a backdrop of her life’s photos. This personal touch allowed the audience to feel a deeper connection with the performance.
4. The Experience
Las Vegas residencies are known for their over-the-top productions, yet “Weekends with Adele” raised the bar notably. The singer was gracious, endearing, and reflective, emotionally thanking attendees for their support. She humorously pointed out her “posh socks” and brought a shirt cannon for added fun. This blend of humor and vulnerability, combined with her magnetic stage presence, creates a must-see experience for any Adele fan.
