There’s one way to initiate talk of a Las Vegas residency: Talk about a Las Vegas residency on social media.
Members of the great ’90s R&B vocal ensemble En Vogue have done just that. The band appeared together on an Instagram Reels video saying their New Year’s resolution was to “get us a residency in Las Vegas.”
“From our mouths to God’s ears,” is the collective message. En Vogue’s current members Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron and Maxine Jones don dark-blue suits and ties in the clip.

En Vogue most recently played Las Vegas in “I Love the ’90s” at Paris Theater, which opened in October 2019 and closed the following January.
