Robbie Williams has reportedly turned down a big money deal for a Las Vegas residency.
The singer, 50, has enjoyed massive success since he quit Take That in the 1990s and released solo hits such as Angels, Candy and She’s The One.
Organisers were keen for him to follow in the footsteps of Adele, and Britney Spears but were left ‘absolutely gutted’ when he declined a slot at Voltaire, where his Kids collaborator Kylie Minogue recently finished a stint.
A source told The Sun: ‘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.

However, the Rock DJ hitmaker is said to be planning his next career move ‘carefully’ instead of launching a string of shows in Vegas.
The source added: ‘But Robbie seems to be wanting to take a more careful approach to what he does next.’
MailOnline has contacted Robbie’s representatives for comment.
Adele reportedly earns £1.5 million every time she performers her Weekends With Adele concert, whilst Kylie is said to have pocketed almost £750,000 per show at The Venetian Resort.
Britney is thought to have earned $300,000 per night of her Las Vegas residency, which ran from 2013 until 2017 in the years before the end of her conservatorship.
Last year, the Millennium singer launched a Netflix documentary that explored his mental health struggles, and a biopic based on his life will be released at Christmas.
Despite his superstar status , Robbie recently claimed that he is totally unknown in the US and used that as the reason for his relocation there in the early 2000s.
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.’
In his Netflix documentary last year, Robbie revealed his life ‘spiralled out of control so severely’ after turning to a bottle of vodka each night before going to Take That rehearsals.
Robbie eventually left the chart-topping band in 1995 and reflected on his addiction with drugs and alcohol, and how much it affected his life.
Robbie said: ‘I was ingesting everything I could get my hands on – ecstasy, cocaine, drinking. I’m literally drinking like a bottle of vodka a night before going into rehearsals, so that’s happening every night.’
