I haven't worked Vegas in years and I've always loved singing there. I'm looking so forward to the shows in The Colosseum at Caesars and I hope you are as well. See you there!' Parton previously performed in Vegas at the Riviera Hotel & Casino in the 1980s and the Mirage Hotel & Casino in the 1990s — both properties have since closed. Per her website, 'Dolly: Live In Las Vegas is a hit-driven concert event bringing Dolly back to Vegas for her first extended run in 32 years.'

Parton's residency announcement comes about three months after her beloved husband Carl Dean passed away. In May, she opened up about losing her longtime love — who she was with for six decades — in March at the age of 82. 'I've loved him since I was 18 years old, and it's a big adjustment just trying to change patterns and habits,' she shared during an appearance on Today. 'I'll do fine. I'm very involved in my work and that's been the best thing that could happen to me.' 'But I'll always miss him, of course,' she added, 'and I'll always love him.'
