The announcement comes at the end of a successful year for the superstar that included a stunning Super Bowl performance and a sold-out tour.
MGM Resorts International did not immediately announce performance dates at the Park Theater. But a statement on the theater's website says performance dates and ticket information is expected "in the coming months."
The 5,300-seat venue is formerly known as the Monte Carlo. It previously hosted the residencies of Cher and Ricky Martin.
