Las Vegas Strip casino closes country star's residency
The popular country singer closes a 71-show residency on the Las Vegas Strip.
Some of the biggest names in country music have performed long-running, sold-out residencies on the Las Vegas Strip. Some of the residencies are continuing, while several have closed.
Big-name country stars have a long history of performing in Las Vegas. Western swing star Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys performed at the Showboat Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas back in spring 1959, and country legend Patsy Cline was the first woman country star headliner in Las Vegas in the early 1960s with a 35-day engagement at The Mint downtown.
