Robbie Williams is said to have turned down a huge offer for a Las Vegas residency

The 50-year-old pop star has enjoyed a hugely successful solo career since leaving Take That in 1995 but is said to have left organisers the Voltaire "absolutely gutted" after rejecting a big money offer for a stint at Voltaire.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Robbie is admired by the Voltaire team professionally and personally.

“They love his music and stage craft and thought that his super stage personality and charisma seemed to be the perfect fit for them. But when they packaged up the offer, Rob turned them down.

"They were absolutely gutted as the tickets would have sold out immediately. But Robbie seems to be wanting to take a more careful approach to what he does next."

If Robbie had accepted the offer, he would have taken the slot recently played by Kylie Minogue, who he collaborated with on the 2000 hit 'Kids' from his album 'Sing When You're Winning'.

She is thought to have earned £750,000 per show for her 'More Than Just A Residency' concert, which came after she enjoyed renewed success in the US with her hit single 'Padam Padam' and subsequent album 'Tension'.

Other stars to have graced the Sin City strip over the years include Britney Spears, who played her 'Piece of Me' show in the city from 2013 until 2017 for a reported $300,000 per night, whilst Adele is currently thought to be raking in an estimated $1.5 million per show for her 'Weekends With Adele', from which she is currently on a short break.

The 'Angels' hitmaker recently admitted that he had never really had the chance to crack the US, and had sought anonymity there after enjoying such a public career in his home country, although he is hopeful that success across the pond may come one day.

He said: "I am completely anonymous in America, and I didn’t plan to change it until now. Now I’m kind of desperate for that to change. I moved so I could be Bruce Wayne in America and Batman everywhere else.

“It worked for me because there were periods in my life which were pretty risqué. I needed a place to retreat and not be known, and I got that."

"But now I’m old and wise enough to want the experience of incredible success again. And maybe that would be in America."
