Blake Shelton will perform at his Ole Red club on April 16-17. Since the honky-tonk only seats 670 patrons, tickets will be distributed for free to winners of a contest ending March 31.

“I can’t wait to play back-to-back nights with my band,” the country icon said in a statement. “I suggest everybody come rested ’cause we might just play all night!”

Jason Derulo will be the Voltaire at The Venetian’s third artist in residence. The R&B crooner will perform 10 dates beginning May 17, performing in a rotation with the new venue’s first two resident artists, Kylie Minogue and Christina Aguilera.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 8, with fan club and Venetian presales the day before. Click here for details.

All Out of ‘Love’

Cirque du Soleil has extended its “Beatles Love” to the end of 2024. Though some internet rumors have it staying put, most Las Vegas experts expect the show to go the way of the resort that houses it.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida is converting The Mirage into the second Hard Rock Las Vegas. And though it seems strange for a show to have to close with such an obvious tie-in to rock music, “Love” has been open for 18 years. And that gave every Boomer and Gen-Xer who wanted to see it ample time — even the worst procrastinators.
