Las Vegas has new residency royalty: queen LISA.
The BLACKPINK rapper, singer and dancer became the first K-pop artist to headline a Las Vegas residency Thursday night (Nov. 12), opening her six-show “Viva La Lisa” engagement at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace with a fast-paced, 90-minute production, high-energy choreography and enough costume changes to fill a showgirl’s dressing room.
The Thai-born superstar, who made her solo Coachella debut in 2025 and appeared in season 3 of HBO’s The White Lotus, has plenty of material to work with. Her debut solo album, Alter Ego, arrived in February 2025, followed by the six-track EP Press Play on Oct. 23. She performed the entire EP — including several live debuts — along with established solo hits, collaborations, and one previously unreleased song.
Each chapter of “Viva” presented a facet of LISA’s stage persona, from a crimson-clad goddess emerging from a lotus blossom to a futuristic provocateur, a playful pop star and a dark angel. Using a multi-level stage, aerial apparatuses, and a hydraulic satellite stage, LISA met her fans where they were — sometimes even at eye level — while the production moved between cinematic fantasy, club culture, and Thai imagery.
Here are five of the best moments from opening night.
