Calvin Harris signs Las Vegas residency

Scottish DJ Calvin Harris has signed up for a three-year Las Vegas residency.

The Summer hitmaker is the latest addition to Sin City's star-studded line-up, following in the footsteps of big names including Mariah Carey, who recently signed up for a long-running stage stint there.

Harris will perform shows at three of the city's biggest nightclubs, including Wet Republic at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino and Omnia at Caesars Palace, as part of a lucrative deal with entertainment company the Hakkasan Group.

In a statement released on the company's website, Harris writes, "(The company's) heritage in part goes right back to the '90s golden era of dance music and I am excited to be able to play a part in this next chapter of its story."

His first performance since signing the residency will be at the Hakkasan Nightclub on Friday (30Jan15).
