Sin City is theirs! On Tuesday night’s (Nov. 10) Dancing With the Stars, Brandy and Monica announced The Boy Is Mine Las Vegas Residency, with 10 shows set for Resorts World Las Vegas next year. It will mark the first Vegas residency for both R&B stars.

The residency, produced by The Black Promoters Collective, follows the duo’s sold-out co-headlining arena tour from last year. And just like the tour, the Vegas stint is named after Brandy and Monica’s blockbuster “The Boy Is Mine” duet, which spent 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1999 and won the Grammy for best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals. In addition to making the residency announcement, the pair performed “The Boy Is Mine” for Grammy night on Dancing With the Stars.

The dates kick off May 29, 2027, at Resorts World Las Vegas — which has also hosted residencies from Katy Perry, Janet Jackson, Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan — and are set to wrap up July 17.

Tickets for The Boy Is Mine Las Vegas Residency go on sale Nov. 20 at 10 a.m. PT, with an American Express presale starting Monday at 10 a.m. PT, an artist presale at noon PT on Nov. 18, and local presales Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. PT.

Monica tells Billboard that when she thinks of Vegas entertainment, she thinks of magicians, from when she “absolutely fell in love” with David Copperfield’s show to trying to get to Criss Angel’s show.

“But musically, the show that I saw that was absolutely life-changingly amazing was Miss Gladys Knight,” she tells Billboard via email after the announcement. “I absolutely adore her. She is a fellow alto, and one of the most genuine human beings I’ve ever crossed paths with in 30 years that I’ve been in the music business. She’s always had open arms and always been so kind and genuine towards me. I enjoyed her show so much. And at the time, her brother was also there. It really was one of the greatest shows, and probably the first time that I said to myself, ‘I could totally see myself being in Vegas eventually,’ because I love being in one place.”
