Underwood has already added additional dates to the residency, which runs for dates throughout December as well as select dates in March and April. The country superstar just announced six new dates for May of 2022. (See the full list of dates below.)

Luke Bryan will also launch his own Vegas residency in the new year. Underwood and Bryan were among the artists featured in a new commercial for Resorts World Las Vegas, which opened over the summer.

The ad, which teased a "sneak peek of the astounding entertainment to come" at the new 3,500-room luxury destination, features Bryan as a fisherman interacting with his fellow American Idol judge Katy Perry, who portrays a mermaid. Underwood is showcased on her own floating tropical paradise.

The commercial also features EDM stars Zedd, who collaborated with Maren Morris on the hit song "The Middle," Tiësto and Vegas mainstay Celine Dion.

"The concept of Stay Fabulous captures the essence of the Resorts World Las Vegas brand where guests are encouraged to embrace their individuality and create their own version of fabulous," Scott Sibella, president of Resorts World Las Vegas, said "With stunning visuals and special appearances from A-list entertainers, the commercial gives a peek into the incredible experiences that await when our doors open this June."
