Blake Shelton Books Las Vegas Residency At Caesars
Taking a residency in Las Vegas is something that many country superstars do. Now Blake Shelton can add his name to the country superstar Vegas list as he has just announced a residency at Caesar’s Palace at the Coliseum.
Blake chatted about the new dates with People magazine. He said, “It’s been swirling for years now, and ever since the idea was first floated about opening an Ole Red in Las Vegas, this conversation has been happening too.”
Shelton said his friend Garth Brooks inspired the move to hit Vegas. He offered, “He played songs that he grew up loving and made him fall in love with music. I don’t want to just rip somebody off, but I do love the idea of doing something that you wouldn’t normally get to see out on tour. He noted that he has “got to figure out what that is” and will now start thinking about how it would be different than something he would do on tour.
Blake posted the news earlier this week on his Instagram. He wrote to his seven million followers, “I’ve been so excited to share this news with y’all. VEGAS!!!!! We’re coming to The Colosseum at @caesarspalace this February. Tickets go on-sale to the public Friday, August 16th, but y’all can sign up for exclusive presale access at link in bio.”

Shelton surprised fans in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, at his Ole Red bar a few weeks ago (7/31). Dressed in a blue plaid shirt and a cowboy hat, he took the stage to perform for those lucky enough to be there. After a few songs, he brought Gwen Stefani’s 15-year-old son Zuma onstage to perform.
Blake told the intimate crowd, “Zuma Rossdale, everybody.” The country superstar then sat side-stage and watched as his stepson performed.
You may recall last summer, Stefani’s oldest son Kingston also appeared onstage at Ole Red to make his performance debut.
As you can see in the fan video below, Zuma wore jeans and a cowboy hat, held an acoustic guitar, and performed a rendition of Zach Bryan’s “Oklahoma Smokeshow.”
Before he performed, Shelton straightened his stepson’s mic on his guitar. You can hear fans cheering in the bar, and one fan shouts out, “He’s so cute.”
Blake also posted a bit about showing up at Ole Red on his own Instagram. He captioned a few video clips of him taking the stage, “Popped by to see what my friends @olered Tish were up to today.”
