George Strait Heads Back To Vegas As His 2021-2022 Datebook Expands

George Strait has announced that he has rescheduled his shows in Las Vegas, first announced and then postponed from 2020, in August. The Strait to Vegas dates are now set for the city’s T-Mobile Arena on Friday, August 13 and Saturday, August 14. As per the original billing, Minnesota-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Caitlyn Smith will be Strait’s special guest.

“The Ace in the Hole Band and I have been looking forward to this day for a year and a half,” says Strait. “I cannot wait to see Vegas and all of my great fans once again. It’s been way too long. We will finally ride again. See you soon.”
