Blake Shelton’s First Night Of Las Vegas Residency
Last night (2/5), Blake Shelton launched his first Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace to a sold-out crowd.
Blake, dressed in a custom-made black corduroy shirt, jeans, and Tony Lama grand caiman boots, said from the stage, “This is a big deal for me. This is the opening night of my first residency ever. I’ve been coming to Las Vegas for a long time, so I know what my job is here tonight. We’re here to make memories.”
He added, “I am excited to finally be in Vegas, bringing the honky tonk to Sin City! We have a lot of fun ahead of us here at The Colosseum for the next two weeks.”
Fans in attendance for opening night were treated to a 20-plus song set featuring some of Shelton’s biggest hits, including “Sangria,” “Honey Bee,” “Ol’ Red,” “God’s Country,” and “Boys ‘Round Here.” Shelton kicked off the show with his 29th and most recent No. 1 single, “Pour Me A Drink.”

Shelton also performed his brand new single, “Texas.” Already Top 10, the song gives a nod to the King of Country Music, George Strait. Appropriately enough, Blake followed the song with Strait’s classic, “All My Ex’s Live In Texas.”
He brought more classic country to the stage with Alabama’s No. 1 hit, “Mountain Music.” Blake recently honored the iconic group with a performance at CMT Giants: Alabama and on stage at the BMI Awards in Nashville in November.
Shelton closed out the night with his hit, “God Gave Me You.” Blake Shelton: Live in Las Vegas has limited tickets available for the remaining five shows, February 7, 8, 12, 14, and 15, and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com/BlakeSheltonVegas.
Grand Ole Opry member Blake will host NBC’s Opry 100: A Live Celebration, honoring the Grand Ole Opry’s milestone 100th anniversary, on Wednesday, March 19 at 8-11 p.m. ET and simulcast on Peacock.
Shelton said in a statement, “Becoming a member of the Opry is a highlight of my life and career, and 15 years later, I still get that same feeling of reverence and excitement every time I walk out on that stage. The Grand Ole Opry has been connecting the country music family for 100 years, and I’m so proud to be part of this historic celebration.”
