R&B superstar Anita Baker to play 5 shows on Las Vegas Strip

“Sweet Love” is coming to the The Venetian Theatre.

R&B superstar Anita Baker has lined up a five-show run at former “Phantom — Las Vegas Spectacular” theater on May 31, June 1, 5, 7 and 8. All shows are 8 p.m.; tickets start at $49.95 (minus fees) and are available at 10 a.m. Friday at Ticketmaster.com, venetian.com, any box office at The Venetian or by calling 702.414.9000 or 866.641.7469.

The Venetian stint is a highlight of Baker’s farewell concert series. An eight-time Grammy Award-winner, Baker sold out five shows in August in September at Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas on this same series. Her most famous songs are in the set list, including “Caught Up in the Rapture,” “Sweet Love” and “Giving You the Best That I Got.”
