Casino-Loving Luke Bryan Closes Out Vegas Residency
His Las Vegas residency lasted two years and encompassed 48 shows, but all good things must come to an end, and for Luke Bryan, his Saturday show at The Theatre at Resorts World put the wraps on a very successful run in Vegas.
“Somehow, somehow I have survived Las Vegas,” he told the crowd, adding “I have not died yet, but if you add up all the mornings that I wanted to die it equals three total deaths. Tomorrow morning, Shady Grove Rehab for me. I’m gonna wear pajamas for 45 days!”
Luke is on record as being a big fan of the Vegas lifestyle and casinos, and that love was reflected by a special on-stage visit as the evening drew to a close.
Luke and his band mounted a moving catwalk that elevated them 45 feet in the air, bringing them face-to-face with the audience in the mezzanine and balcony areas at the rear of the venue.
Luke closed out the show with “Country Girl (Shake It for Me)” and, not surprisingly, “I Don’t Want This Night to End.”
While the final song may not have been a surprise, what was waiting for Luke when he descended back to the stage was.
A group of people came on stage to say goodbye to the superstar, causing him to laugh and begin bowing. “These are my dealers, these are my craps dealers,” he said before hugging each one and taking a photo with them. “Cheers to two years.”
