Adele’s staying in bungalow in snub to Caesar’s Palace
ADELE’S mega-money residency in Las Vegas got off to a triumphant start on Friday night.
But the singer has resisted a taste of the Sin City high life – after snubbing a £25,000a-night suite at Caesar’s Palace for a bungalow.
The famous hotel, which is staging the show, gave her a swanky suite as part of her deal to sing there for a reported $1million (£840,000) a night.
The suite was said to have a butler thrown in, and the plan was for Adele to spend weekends holed up there with son Angelo and boyfriend Rich Paul until March.
But it can be revealed the singer, who is worth an estimated £162million, is instead living in a bungalow on a golf course at the rival Wynn resort.
The two-bedroom Fairway Villa, which costs $3,883 (£3,260) a night, is 3,224 square feet and features an 80-inch TV, two marble bathrooms and housekeeping twice a day. It is comparatively modest but more private because the villas have their own driveway.
A convoy of cars used by the singer was seen heading from Caesar’s Palace to the Wynn on Saturday after the concert.
A local source said: ‘It’s not clear what caused the move, but obviously it is unusual for Adele not to be staying at Caesar’s and locally gossip has been spreading. Vegas is well used to divas, and I am sure that the feeling is that whatever makes her feel comfortable is OK, but this is embarrassing for Caesar’s.’ Another source claimed Adele had a ‘ hissy fit’ after being offered a room in the Palazzo Villas at the Rio, which is an allsuite hotel and casino across from Caesar’s. Both hotels have been approached for comment.
Adele has been in Vegas for nearly two weeks rehearsing her show, called Weekends With Adele, which she performs on Friday and Saturday nights.
On stage on Friday, Adele said she came very close to pulling out after being ill all week.
‘You’re not gonna believe me, you’re gonna think I want a tiny violin to come out and start playing behind my tears. So last week I was sick as a f****** dog, right.’ She added that she was horribly nervous, admitting: ‘It might be a bit wobbly at times because my nerves are out of control. It’s a bloody massive week for me this week.’
It comes after the show was sensationally cancelled less than 24 hours before opening night in January. Adele said Covid delays had hit the planned performance, and filmed a tearful apology from her suite at Caesar’s, claiming: ‘It just ain’t ready.’
