Country music legend George Strait was not really ready for retirement back in 2014. So he decided maybe a few Las Vegas play dates would be a nice diversion. Strait will be one of the first entertainers to perform at the new 20,000-seat Las Vegas Arena, which is scheduled to open in April of 2016.
When he first announced the dates in a Press Conference in October, tickets to the 2016 dates became a hot commodity. So he agreed to a few more dates in 2017. George will be playing a total of nine shows in Las Vegas into 2017! George is a pure entertainer, so at this rate I would expect shows more to be added by early next year.
“I’ve missed stepping on stage and playing that first note … hearing the crowd sing in unison … there’s just nothing like it,” Strait says in a press release. “I’d be lying if I said it didn’t feel good to know that the fans have missed me, too.”

Just for the record: George Strait has had 60 No. 1 singles and nearly 70 million records sold. He is still the most-nominated artist in CMA Awards history and was the very first country music artist honored with Billboard’s “Legend Of Live” Award. His last show, which took place at AT&T Stadium on June 7, 2014, absolutely shattered the North American attendance record for an indoor concert with 104,793 ticket-holders.
