Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman and Ward 5 Councilman Cedric Crear joined Usher at the October 17th Key to the City ceremony. The nearly 30-minute event included the Lovers & Friends Festival founder speaking to the audience in attendance.

“I just want to continue to be an amazing contribution to your amazing city. I do see opportunity here, and the belief that everything that’s in my mind and that I’ve dreamed of is coming to life as a result of the city. So thank you,” Usher stated.

Usher will return to Las Vegas on February 11, 2024, to perform at the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show. In addition, the 8-time Grammy Award winner plans to release his ninth studio album, Coming Home, on the same day as the NFL’s Big Game.
