Luke Bryan Brings Craps Dealers On Stage At Final Vegas Show

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

Luke Bryan wrapped up his two-year Las Vegas residency on Saturday night (1/6) at Resorts World. From the stage, Luke told the packed crowd, “Somehow, I have survived Las Vegas.”

He added, jokingly, “I have not died yet, but if you add up all the mornings that I wanted to die, it equals three total deaths. Tomorrow morning, Shady Grove Rehab for me. I’m gonna wear pajamas for 45 days.”

The residency, which kicked off in 2021, saw him perform 48 shows at The Theatre at Resorts World.

The final night had a few surprise guests: a group came on stage to say goodbye. Bryan said before giving each one of them a hug and posing for a picture, “They are my dealers, these are my craps dealers. Cheers to two years.”

In the summer of 2022, Luke told us of his future Vegas plans at the time, “I don’t really have a long-term vision for Vegas. I wouldn’t say it’s in my brain presently. I think every time I pull up to a 20 thousand seat amphitheater, and there are 20 thousand people in there, that will always be what drives me currently at this phase in my career.”

Bryan was playing a show at his Las Vegas residency on New Year’s Eve when he stopped the show to pay tribute to his wife, Caroline. Her birthday is December 31.

Luke brought his wife on stage and began to sing Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” as the crowd joined him. Caroline danced on stage with her husband and high-fived fans in the front row throughout the song. At one point in the song,

One fan captured the moment and posted a video clip on her Instagram.

Luke posted a sweet message to his wife on his Instagram and included a photo of the couple in bathing suits with fireworks behind them. He wrote, “Happy Birthday @linabryan3. I love you to the moon and back. Thank god yo butt was born.”

6 Country Superstars That Should Play Super Bowl Halftime

  • Luke Bryan

    Luke is all about having a good time on stage, and his energy and hit songs make for a great show for his double-booked sold-out arena shows. He has also become a Las Vegas performer in the last couple of years, which helps. When we interviewed Bryan recently, he shared his thoughts on if he ever got asked to play a Super Bowl halftime show. He told us, “I think I would certainly love the opportunity to do a Super Bowl Halftime show. I think the beauty of someone in that role, if it were me, I would bring everybody to the party. A lot of special guests, a lot of surprises. If I got asked, certainly Jason Aldean would be my first call.”

  • Keith Urban

    This journalist has loved Keith Urban for his music and the generally lovely and considerate guy he is since the day I met him at an interview before he became a superstar in the early 2000s. So, yes, I am biased when it comes to Urban. That being said, his shows are legendary, and with his guitar skills, Keith would make country music proud at the Super Bowl halftime show. His Las Vegas residency sells out every year, and imagine, with an Oscar-winning wife (Nicole Kidman) to cheer him on, how Hollywood would come out to support a Keith Urban halftime show.

  • Blake Shelton

    One of country music’s biggest stars and personalities, Blake would be great at the Super Bowl halftime show, especially if his wife, Gwen Stefani, took the stage with her man. Shelton is one of country music’s biggest NFL fans; specifically, he is a die-hard Arizona Cardinals fan.

  • Morgan Wallen

    Morgan’s star is getting so big in country music, and this guy keeps fans screaming for more in multiple nights of stadium shows in big cities all over the country. If Wallen played the Super Bowl halftime show, you can bet he would more than likely have his buddies HARDY, Ernest, and Bailey Zimmerman also on the show.

  • Luke Combs

    Luke knows how to keep a stadium of fans hanging on his every word at his double night booked stadium shows all over the country, so he is a natural to play the Super Bowl halftime show. Just a handful of years into his massive career and three CMA Entertainer of the Year awards already under his belt, he is a no-brainer for the halftime show. Can you imagine the excitement of the Super Bowl crowd when he plays his wild “Beer Never Broke My Heart” encore?

  • Carrie Underwood -

    With her ties to Sunday Night Football and her love of the game and the players, Carrie would be great at the Super Bowl Halftime show. Her energetic performance would undoubtedly include some of her big rocker friends like Axl Rose and Joan Jett. Underwood would more than likely also have some serious aerial moves like she did when she performed on her Denim & Rhinestone tour.

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
