If all goes according to plan \u2013 like all usually doesn\u2019t \u2013 Ole Red Las Vegas hopes to open it in time to offer premium views of the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix on November 18.<\/p>\n

Ole Red \u2013 a reference to Shelton\u2019s single\u00a0 “Ol\u2019 Red\u201d from his self-titled 2002 debut album \u2013 will occupy a new building at the Grand Bazaar Shops in front of the Horseshoe Las Vegas (formerly Bally\u2019s).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each of its four floors will sport balconies overlooking the Strip at Flamingo Boulevard.<\/p>\n

Shelton opened the first Ole Red in 2017 in Tishomingo, Oklahoma \u2013 his home state. There are now locations in Nashville and Gatlinburg, Tenn., as well as Orlando, Fla. \u00a0At approximately 27,000 square feet with 686 seats, the Las Vegas location will be the brand\u2019s largest to date.<\/p>\n

Big Plans<\/h2>\n

The first and second floors will feature casual dining and live country music. The third floor will host VIP experiences, private events, and bottle service. And the fourth-floor rooftop will serve food as part of the restaurant by day, then function as a separate lounge \u2014 featuring cocktail flights, live music and DJ sets, and its own menu \u2013 at night.<\/p>\n

If you are going to do something here, you\u2019ve got to do it big,\u201d Shelton said during a Q&A at a preview event held this week at the Horseshoe. \u201cEvery time I\u2019m in Vegas, I want some country music, and Ole Red is the remedy for that.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At the event, Shelton and his partner, Ryman Hospitality Properties, provided a sneak peek of what to expect from Ole Red\u2019s Las Vegas kitchen and stage. It featured food samples and live performances by previous The Voice<\/em>\u00a0contestants Wendy Moten and the Swon Brothers.<\/p>\n

The Las Vegas menu will feature its own lobster corn dog, in addition to scratch-made chain favorites, including grilled bacon-wrapped meatloaf, brisket sliders with chorizo, and pulled pork sliders with Ole Red sauce and slaw. The bar will feature moonshine cocktails, including one that supposedly tastes like cherry limeade.<\/p>\n

Surprise Shelton Shows?<\/h2>\n

Shelton \u00a0\u2013 who is married to pop superstar Gwen Stefani \u2013 will be one of two celebrities helping Caesars to rebrand its former Bally’s Resort Casino under its Horseshoe brand. The other is Guy Fieri, who just announced that his third Las Vegas Strip restaurant, Flavortown Sports Kitchen, will open at Horseshoe this summer.<\/a><\/p>\n

As part of that effort, Shelton even expects to drop by and play Ole Red.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh hell, yeah,\u201d he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em> this week. \u201cI have no clue how, but I\u2019ll tell you right now, I\u2019ll be there on that stage. I don\u2019t know how often, but the way we\u2019ve handled it in the past with the other Ole Reds is, hey, I\u2019m going to be on that side of the country anyway. Let\u2019s block off a couple of days and surprise people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
