Rumor or Reality?, What's New, Pussycat?
Rumors about Sir Tom pass from ear to ear to chat room to discussion list to forum. Of course, we hear them, too, and are frequently asked by site visitors about the truth of a given story they see or hear. In an effort to separate fact from fiction, we’ll occasionally post a rumor — a possibly credible thing we hear and try to get at the real story. The only rule about the rumors we’ll post is that they must be about Tom’s professional life. Nothing personal. We leave that stuff to others. So, if you hear something and would like us to help check it out, send us an email. Of course no rumor is considered fact until it’s confirmed on Tom’s official site but, meanwhile, we’ll try to fill you in.
Rumor Or Reality? Tom’s Gigs In 2008 Include MGM Grand. We’re Told “Yes.”
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007
Although it’s not fact until confirmed by tomjones.com, we’ve been told by two reliable sources that Tom will be playing the MGM Grand next year on, basically, the same schedule as he did until the last couple of times. That is, several two-week stands equaling 10 or 12 weeks.
While this hasn’t been confirmed by Tom’s management, we’re hopeful (and optimistic) that the people who told us this are right.
Remember, the MGM website has nothing for the Hollywood Theatre beyond January 2, 2008, so nothing should be read into the fact that they don’t have Tom there next year.

Thankyou for posting this information, I was becoming concerned whether or not we would see Tom in Vegas in 2008. I have plans to bring a friend of mine and his wife who have never been to Vegas and never got to see Tom Jones in person. My friend’s wife is from Japan and she remembers when Tom was in Japan several years ago, but was unable to go see him. I feel that the MGM is the perfect venue to experience the full power of Tom Jones. I always enjoy seeing Tom at the MGM and it will a thrill to bring my friends into the Hollywood Threatre for their very first time to see Tom Jones a true one of a kind superstar.

I just got married in Vegas in September, and saw Tom there at the same time. We’re planning to go back for the anniversary. How do i say to my new husband “Eh’m, can we hold off booking till we find out Tom’s schedule?” Coming all the way from Scotland, it’s not a trip we can make twice, so fingers crossed tom pops up at the MGM at the end of September again!

Thanks TJI for giving us hope. I had even called the MGM to ask why nothing is book for the Hollywood Theater for 2008…its getting pretty close. PS-Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
