Nelly — Las Vegas Tour Dates, Set Times & VIP Tables.
Cornell Iral Haynes Jr., better known by his stage name Nelly, is an American rapper, singer, and actor. He grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and embarked on his musical career in 1993 as a member of the Midwestern hip-hop group St. Lunatics. He signed with Universal Records as a solo act in 1999 to release his debut studio album, Country Grammar (2000). Its two lead singles, "Country Grammar " and "Ride wit Me", both entered the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100. The album peaked atop the Billboard 200 and received diamond certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His second album, Nellyville (2002), spawned two consecutive Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles: "Hot in Herre" and "Dilemma", along with the top-five single, "Air Force Ones". In Las Vegas, Nelly anchors Zouk, Hakkasan & TAO Beach Live Resident, drawing high-intent fly-in audiences across Zouk Nightclub with a signature 2000s Hip-Hop/Pop Sing-Along Party Anthems format.
