Brett Young will be in Las Vegas this weekend for the ACM Awards, but chances are you won’t see him doing a whole lot of gambling, if he chooses to do any at all. Brett says, “I like to gamble a little bit for the fun of it. When I gamble, I have X amount that I’m willing to lose as a part of the entertainment value. But no, I’m not in there to lose my shorts, so to speak, or try to win my mortgage. There’s never that much money on the table.”
Besides the awards, there will be lots of additional events, performances and other work obligations for a lot of the country stars this week in Las Vegas, and Brett says, “In all honesty I rarely gamble during an awards weekend. Usually there’s too much going on for me. That means you’d have to stay up till 4:00am. to do it, and I need my sleep.”
Besides attending the ACM Awards, Brett will be performing as part of the ACM Stories, Songs and Stars event on Friday night, and at the ACM Awards Official After Party this Sunday night in Las Vegas. If you’ll be in town for the awards, check partyforacause.com for more details.
