Luke Bryan talks his return to Vegas' Resorts World: 'I'm having the most fun of anyone'
View Date:2024-12-23 21:01:34
Since February 2022, 30-time chart-topping country superstar Luke Bryan hasn't just been a marquee talent driving attendance on many neon-lit nights in Nash Vegas. He's also been a headline attraction in Sin City's generational embrace of its country and Western lineage.
End a walk along the southern end of the 4-mile strip encompassing legendary hotels and resorts along Las Vegas Boulevard at the two-year-old Resorts World Las Vegas property and the residencies at the casino, mall and resort's 4,700-sea theater that Bryan, Carrie Underwood and country lifestyle-beloved comedian Theo Von currently have recalled an era four decades prior when performers like Dolly Parton earned a then-reported $7.7 million for 22 weeks of shows over three years.
"I'm having the most fun of anyone in that room," jokes Bryan when discussing his forthcoming Resorts World dates on Aug. 30, Sept. 2, 3, 6, 8 and 9, plus Dec. 29-31 and 2024 dates on Jan. 3, 5 and 6.
Tickets for those engagements are currently available at https://www.rwlasvegas.com/entertainment.
The room in question – the Resorts World Theater – is deceptively intimate. The furthest seat from the stage is only 150 feet away and an immersive, technologically advanced spatial audio-driven sonic layout enhances the concert experience.
"In an incredible modern venue, we're trying to put an iconic, globally-acceptable, stadium-style show with arena rock-style elements and moments where it's just me, stripped down with an acoustic guitar, playing the piano, or telling jokes," says Bryan.
Bryan highlights that country music's ever-broadening cultural and sonic diversity drives the genre's surge in globally-renowned urban entertainment destinations like Las Vegas.
He feels that a country fanbase reflecting that breadth and scope find Vegas an ideal vacation locale because the city's long-standing premium on consistently delivering over-the-top showcases benefits country music's entertainment-driven tradition.
"It's lights, cameras and action out there, for sure," Bryan adds.
"The lighting and production on a 200-foot-wide stage allow me to present my show in ways I've never done. Production-wise, I'm now competing with acts like Adele. The show is an overload of non-stop incredible moments, honestly."
2022's run of Bryan's Vegas concerts included a shape-shifting stage, stripped-down and piano-led performances of "Strip it Down" and "Do I" in front of an embankment of lights, plus an encore where Bryan walked an elevated catwalk that dropped from the ceiling, 45 feet high above the crowd.
When asked to outline the most significant reason to head to his return engagements at Resorts World, he offered no surprises about what to expect. Still, he did note how much of something extra to expect from his consummate showmanship.
