A longtime Strip fixture, Margaritaville, closed at Flamingo on May 30, 2024<\/a> with little fanfare. There’s been lots of speculation about what might replace it.<\/p>\n

While the ink hasn’t dried yet, we’ve learned Margaritaville will be replaced by a country-themed venue, likely in partnership with singer Garth Brooks.<\/p>\n

Clearly, somebody’s seen the revenue numbers at Ole Red at Horseshoe, because that place was a smash right out of the chute.<\/p>\n

A.I. didn’t think it creepy at all to use bird feathers in a cowboy hat being born by a bird. We’re all doomed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Approximately zero details are available about what country venue will take Margaritaville’s place, but Caesars Entertainment loves its celebrity partnerships, so we suspect there will be a big country artist and a recognizable brand attached.<\/p>\n

You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. Or some other Cinderella lyric. Take your pick.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Caesars has made a killing with Gordon Ramsay, Guy Fieri, Bobby Flay, Giada De Laurentiis and others we don’t recall and don’t have the time to look up because we’re too busy dishing scoop.<\/p>\n

Oh, and Lisa Vanderpump, with her frou-frou lounges. And Buddy Valastro. If we forgot him, we’d never get fresh “mutz” again.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it seems there are two entities under consideration for the Margaritaville space, both potentially a big draw for fans of eating, drinking, chewing snuff, rodeos, banning books and line dancing.<\/p>\n

If we were a gambler, which we may be, our money would be on Garth Brooks as the partner for the Margaritaville space. Possibly because that’s the rumor we just heard, two sources. It’s not a done-done deal, but that’s never stopped us from spilling tea before.<\/p>\n

Garth Brooks has a popular spot in Nashville, Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk<\/a>, and that seems a perfect fit for Flamingo, given the Colosseum at Caesars Palace is right across the street. His Garth Brooks\/Plus One<\/a> residency is running at Caesars Palace.<\/p>\n

A honky tonk, of course, is a “place where Caucasians gather.” Prior to our current Enlightened Age, honkey tonk music<\/a> was referred to as “hillbilly music.” We put that in quotation marks because we’ve already been canceled 16 times this week, and our arms are tired.<\/p>\n

Nashville has been stealing all our bachelorette parties, so maybe a Garth Brooks restaurant and bar could steal some back.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Country music has never been all that popular, but that all changed when Beyonce and her bosoms released “Texas Hold ‘Em.”<\/p>\n
