Bruno Mars Jokes About Gambling Debt During Las Vegas Show


Bruno Mars joked about rumors of gambling debt during a performance in Las Vegas last weekend. The Hawaiian pop star was performing at Allegiant Stadium over the weekend. But prior to his own tours, Mars had a residency at Park MGM.

During his most recent Las Vegas performance, Mars poked fun at the false allegations while on stage with rapper and singer-songwriter Anderson .Paak. “I hate to make this about me, but when I think about how much debt, I mean, how many steps it took to get here, I get emotional,” .Paak joked. “I’m debt free, I paid the casino off a long time ago,” Mars jokingly responded.

Bruno Mars claims he played poker for a living before hitting it big in the music industry. He played poker with Brad Wilson of the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
