Over a year ago, when Brooks & Dunn and Reba first announced they would be doing shows in Vegas, only a few dates were announced…then a few more…and then a few more. That’s one big hint that Vegas loved them!
Well it happened again and they’re ready. Ronnie Dunn calls it the ultimate gig and said, “After the first 30 days, we walked out going…’I don’t wanna leave.'”
Apparently Caesars Palace in Vegas doesn’t want them too either. The Reba, Brooks & Dunn Residency will continue with shows running July12 through the 30th. Those were added on top of the already scheduled dates in May.
Ronnie says his first time playing Vegas made a big impression on him…

Ronnie Dunn – that’s where Frank Sinatra played :17
Ronnie: “I can remember, oh in the early, the mid-90’s… KIX: Several semesters ago. Yeah, it was a different facility. It still had the parking lot and all that. And I had a room I could look down and see the sign and I kept thinking, ‘Man that’s where Frank Sinatra played.’ Just cool stuff like that. Fun, really fun.”
