Blake Shelton Says the Perks of His Las Vegas Residency Have Him Feeling Like Elvis

Blake Shelton has just kicked off his three-week residency at The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace, where he’s getting settled into his temporary home for the duration of this run. The country star has quickly learned that preforming in the same spot for multiple weeks at a time comes with its perks, including getting his own “office,” which makes him feel like a king.

For the second week in a row, Shelton returned to co-host Country Countdown USA with Lon Helton. During their conversation, he boasted about his return to Sin City for several dates across January.

He shared that one of the best parts of the residency is not having to travel constantly. Instead of sleeping on buses or planes, he can stay in one place and settle in, even if it’s for a short time. Plus, he has been enjoying the benefits of having his own green room backstage.

“It’s fun, I actually have my own green room. We’ll go back there and have a drink,” he told Helton. “I call it my office. There’s a desk, there’s a phone that’s not plugged in. I feel like Elvis when I’m there.”

When he’s not handling business in the green room or preforming at The Colosseum, the Oklahoma native admits he doesn’t find himself hanging out in the casinos. Instead, he prefers to head over to his Ole Red location on the strip.

“If I have some free time, I better poke my head in over there and hop on stage.  We’ve done some of that,” he shared.

Blake Shelton’s current single, “Stay Country Or Die Tryin’,” has climbed to No. 1 on the country radio charts. This song appears as the first track off his latest album, For Recreational Use Only. When Helton brought up if he has any new music in the works, Shelton teased that he has plenty of songs ready in case a deluxe edition of the project gets put into motion.

“When I made this album, I made way more music than I needed.  I held on to some of it, I’m thinking one day you & I will be sitting here again like we are today. If they tell me they’re gonna do a deluxe version, I have just what they need right here,” he revealed.

His latest run of “BLAKE SHELTON: LIVE IN LAS VEGAS” officially launched on January 15 and is set to continue through the month on January 18, 21, 23, 24, 28, 30 and 31. Night one kicked off with a two-hour show featuring a hit-filled set list that included many of his 31 No. 1 singles plus the chart-topping single “Texas.” The Grand Ole Opry member ended the unforgettable night on a high note as he delivered his signature hit, “God Gave Me You.”
