Blake Shelton, country music superstar and television favorite, is turning up the excitement in Las Vegas. As he prepares for a major 2026 tour—including highly anticipated performances at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace—Shelton isn’t just bringing his chart-topping hits to the Strip. He’s also drawing fans to one of the city’s hottest new destinations: Ole Red Las Vegas, a bar, restaurant, and live music venue that’s redefining country cool in the heart of Sin City.
Ole Red Las Vegas: Shelton’s Passion Project
Ole Red isn’t just another celebrity-backed bar. Inspired by his hit song “Ol’ Red,” Shelton’s Las Vegas outpost is the biggest and boldest yet, nestled at the bustling intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road. Spanning 27,000 square feet across four stories, the venue features 686 seats, three indoor bars, and a 4,500-square-foot rooftop with sweeping views of the skyline. State-of-the-art acoustics make it a haven for live performances, with a stage that spotlights both Shelton and a steady stream of up-and-coming country talent.
Shelton’s vision for Ole Red goes far beyond food and drinks. “This is about music—not hamburgers and beer,” he has said, emphasizing that the real heart of Ole Red is giving young artists a chance to shine. The venue is quickly becoming a must-visit spot for country fans and a launching pad for the next wave of Nashville stars.
A Taste of Country in the Heart of Vegas
Authenticity is Shelton’s hallmark, and Ole Red delivers on every front. From the scratch-made, “down-home, finger-lickin’ eats” to the venue’s honky-tonk-meets-modern design, every detail reflects Shelton’s Oklahoma roots and love for country culture. The menu features crowd-pleasers like Redneck Nachos, Blue Tick Burger, and Las Vegas exclusives such as Blackberry Crispy Chicken Sliders and Hillbilly Bone St. Louis Ribs.
Shelton’s hands-on involvement is evident—from breaking ground in January 2023 to the grand opening celebrations in January 2024. He poured his energy and personality into making Ole Red a “work of art”—and a place that welcomes everyone, whether you’re a die-hard country fan or just looking for a great night out.
Shelton’s Signature Hospitality
During Ole Red’s grand opening week in April 2024, Shelton played back-to-back concerts for 500 VIP guests, treating the crowd to hits like “God’s Country,” “Sangria,” and “Austin.” He also shared the stage with wife Gwen Stefani for fan-favorite duets. Known for his warmth and humor, Shelton mingled with the audience, toasted fans with vodka and Sprite Zero, and made it clear that Ole Red is “a destination for absolute redneck hillbillies”—in the best, most welcoming way.
His vision is for Ole Red to serve as a “home base” for country music in Las Vegas—a gathering place for fans, artists, and industry insiders. The venue isn’t just an extension of Shelton’s brand; it’s a testament to his generosity, love of community, and unwavering support for new talent.
What to Expect for 2026
As excitement builds for Shelton’s Las Vegas tour in 2026, fans can look forward to more than just incredible live shows at Caesars Palace. Ole Red Las Vegas promises to be a central hub for pre- and post-concert fun, with live music, great food, and the kind of atmosphere only Blake Shelton can create. Whether you’re hoping to catch Shelton in person, discover new country artists, or just soak in the honky-tonk spirit, Ole Red is set to be an essential stop on the Strip.
