·Bruno Mars officially kicked off “The Romantic Tour” this weekend in Las Vegas, turning the night into a full citywide celebration
·On Friday afternoon, Las Vegas honored him with a parade on the Strip, a street named “Bruno Mars Drive,” and an official “Bruno Mars Day,” setting the stage for his tour launch just hours later
·He opened the show with “Risk It All” off his new album, and the crowd immediately sang the lyrics back to him, creating an instant singalong moment from the very first song
·The set kept that energy, blending new tracks with major hits like “24K Magic,” “Treasure,” “Locked Out of Heaven,” and “Uptown Funk,” keeping the crowd on their feet throughout the night
·Mars leaned into his signature showmanship, moving seamlessly between tight choreography, live band moments, and crowd interaction that made the arena feel intimate despite its size
·During one of the night’s standout moments, Anderson .Paak joked on stage about “debt,” saying, “I hate to make this about me, but when I think about how much debt, I mean how many steps it took to get here, I get emotional”
·Mars quickly fired back, “Andy, I’m sorry you’re going through all that. See, I’m debt-free, I paid the casino off a long time ago,” drawing one of the biggest reactions of the night
·The joke plays off recent viral rumors that he owed millions to MGM Resorts International, which were publicly denied
·With a parade, a proclamation, and a sold-out opening night all happening within hours, the launch of the tour felt less like a standard concert and more like a major Las Vegas moment
