Reba McEntire is giving fans an inside look at her 71st birthday celebration in Las Vegas, and by all accounts, it was one for the books.
The country icon spent the weekend celebrating with her fiancé Rex Linn and a close group of friends, taking in multiple Las Vegas shows, including two events at The Sphere.
“I have to put my 71st birthday as the best birthday of my entire life. Leslie, Nic, Rex, and I had a blast celebrating in Las Vegas,” she wrote.
The Oklahoma native went on to share glowing reviews of the shows she attended, highlighting an unforgettable weekend packed with entertainment and special moments.
“The Cirque du Soleil ‘O’ show did not disappoint. I’ve seen it so many times. It is the best!!! Also getting to see the Wizard of Oz at the Sphere was out of this world!!! Absolutely nothing like it,” she gushed.
“But the highlight of this birthday trip was definitely going to see, for the second time, Eagles at the Sphere!! Best show ever,” she declared. “So much fun getting to visit with the great Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, and Vince Gill. It was definitely a night I will never forget!”
She also took time to thank those who made the weekend special, including the hospitality shown throughout the trip, while giving a special nod to Rex for planning the memorable celebration.
“The hospitality shown to us by everyone at the Wynn Las Vegas was so appreciated. You guys are 1st Class all the way!! The food at PISCES Bar & Seafare was absolutely terrific,” she wrote. “Rex knocked it out out of the ballpark this year and is already planning next year’s birthday.”
Reba McEntire was born on March 28, 1955, and raised in Oklahoma. Now, she’s preparing to return home for a very special performance at Reba’s Place in Atoka, Oklahoma.
The one-night-only event will feature the Country Music Hall of Famer in an intimate, stripped-down set at her hometown restaurant. Attendance is limited exclusively to fans who win tickets, making it an especially rare opportunity to see her perform in such a personal setting.
In partnership with the City of Atoka, Reba’s Place will also offer a free public simulcast of the performance on a newly installed high-definition screen at the city’s outdoor stage, located in the park behind the restaurant. The outdoor watch party will be open to the public at no charge, with concessions available for purchase.
