Last night (Feb. 5), Blake Shelton kicked off his first ever Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, performing for a sold-out audience.

“This is a big deal for me,” shared Shelton, sporting a custom-made black corduroy shirt, BSxLE jeans, and Tony Lama grand caiman boots. “This is the opening night of my first residency ever. I’ve been coming to Las Vegas for a long time, so I know what my job is here tonight. We’re here to make memories.”

Fans at the opening night were treated to a setlist of over 20 songs, showcasing some of Shelton’s biggest hits like “Sangria,” “Honey Bee,” “Ol’ Red,” “God’s Country” and “Boys ‘Round Here.” Shelton began the show with his latest No. 1 single, “Pour Me A Drink.”

“I am excited to finally be in Vegas, bringing the honky tonk to Sin City,” he added. “We have a lot of fun ahead of us here at The Colosseum the next two weeks.”

Shelton also debuted his new single “Texas,” which is already in the Top 10 and pays tribute to George Strait. In a fitting tribute, he followed it up with Strait’s classic hit, “All My Ex’s Live In Texas.”

He continued the classic country vibes with Alabama’s No. 1 hit, “Mountain Music.” Recently, Shelton paid tribute to the legendary group with a performance for CMT Giants: Alabama and again on stage at the BMI Awards in Nashville last November.

Shelton wrapped up the night with his hit, “God Gave Me You.” “Blake Shelton: Live in Las Vegas” will continue on Feb. 7, 8, 12, 14 and 15.
