Here’s Your First Peek at Blake Shelton’s Las Vegas Honky Tonk Bar

Blake Shelton’s sprawling country bar will offer some of the best views in Las Vegas

by Janna Karel Jan 4, 2024, 1:49pm PST

Janna Karel is the Editor for Eater Vegas.

Blake Shelton’s Ole Red, a sprawling, multi-story bar, dance hall, music venue, and restaurant, opens soon, and when it does, it may offer the best rooftop view of the Las Vegas Strip. Shelton broke ground on Ole Red in January of 2023 in front of the Horseshoe Las Vegas. Since then, construction crews have been building the four-story Tennessee-born restaurant, chefs have been developing a menu with dishes that are exclusive to Las Vegas, and Shelton’s team has been bulking up the roster of musical acts that will perform on stage beneath the 4,500-pound ceiling-mounted tractor.

The roughly 27,000-square-foot country bar has four levels. On the first floor is a stage in front of a 38-foot-tall LED screen that can project images to complement shows or be divided into smaller screens for broadcasting sports and other events. The second and third stories overlook the stage and each floor has a bar at the back and fully modular seating — meaning that each floor can offer traditional restaurant-style tables, lounge-style seating, or even have the furniture cleared away to make room for dancing.

The second floor has a first for Las Vegas — a direct walkway into the honky tonk. The elevated pedestrian walkway stretches from the Bellagio Las Vegas Hotel and Casino side of Las Vegas Boulevard to right inside the bar. Both stories have outdoor balconies, offering views of the Grand Bazaar Shops to the East and the Fountains at Bellagio to the west.

The fourth floor is up on the rooftop and will offer a more exclusive experience. Reservations will be encouraged for evening VIP dining, with semi-private cabanas and lounge seating reserved with table minimums. The rooftop will have regular dining at lunch time, then transition to nightlife service around 9 p.m. every night, with cocktail menus and entertainment unique to the fourth floor.

The view from the center Strip rooftop is panoramic, offering views from the Mandalay Bay at the south end of the Strip to the Mirage at the north end. It’s primed for viewing big events like the Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix and parades for the Golden Knights or Las Vegas Aces, with more than a mile of visibility in either direction. Ole Red can seat about 670 people, or offer standing room for more than 1,100. It’s a capacity that warrants the facility’s two kitchens.

Rendering of Ole Red.

The menu will have about 17 items from Ole Red’s locations in Tennessee, Florida, and Shelton’s hometown of Tishomingo, Oklahoma. Chef Mark Boor spent months developing a further 17 dishes that will be unique to Las Vegas. There will be appetizers like the Turnin’ Me On loaded tots, which are rounds of house-made crispy tots piled high with truffle salt, bacon, parmesan, herbs, a sweet bourbon onion and tomato jam, and a smoked black bean aioli. Shrimp corn dogs are Boor’s answer to “Vegas-ifying” the corn dog — coating skewers of shrimp in a light and flaky batter, served with three types of aioli. Boor says his favorite dish, and one he expects to be a crowd-pleaser, is the blackberry crispy chicken sliders. The three mini sandwiches are layered with sweet blackberry compote, a tangy whipped goat cheese spread with jalapenos, cabbage, and super crispy chicken on brioche buns.

Leaning into the West Coast-adjacent location, the menu will have a street corn salad with roasted corn and cotija cheese and mahi-mahi tacos with slaw and avocado. The Hell Right burger is 10 ounces of ground short rib, brisket, and chuck with hatch green chiles, pepper jack cheese, and smoked mushrooms — the result a super juicy burger requiring a two-hand grip. And there’s also the Ole Red ribeye, a 20-ounce bone-in ribeye with spiced chipotle butter, horseradish mashed potatoes, and crunchy slaw.

Ole Red Las Vegas and Ryman Hospitality Properties say that this will be the chain’s largest location to date. With a focus on live country music, the bar will predominantly boast a soundtrack of acoustic solo artists during the day, bands in the evening, and even DJs performing after dark. General manager, Ryan Klaasen says that on most days, the restaurant will be organized for lunch service through the afternoon, and then the tables and booths may take on whatever redecorating is needed to accommodate the night’s entertainment.

“I’ve been coming here a long time. I hosted award shows and worked concerts and was a fan and witness to Gwen Stefani’s residency,” Shelton said at an announcement for the bar last January. “And every time I’m here, I want to see some damn country music.” Shelton said he expects that Ole Red will welcome talent from unsigned singers and artists previously featured on The Voice. He’s also pitched a night in which visitors play talent scouts, listening to music from country artists in a venue with concert-quality production.

While Ole Red doesn’t have an opening date yet, it is expected to open within the next few weeks.

tell me about your day/week!! do you have any plans?

Also, you like fish, tell us about your favourite freshwater and saltwater fish! (And maybe your favourite fish meal to eat also, if you eat fish?)

tbh i'm having a kinda rough week, my brother in law is in the icu so i've been there pretty much all weekend helping support everyone. things are definitely a lot better than they were (he's officially stable and improving neurologically) but it's also been a lot of stress of course. but it's also also been nice to just see everyone and not have a packed weekend of plans like i normally do!! I'm also working a new job that i fucking hate but it pays better than anything else i could find and they're flexible about me having to leave to deal with all this so im just suffering through that slowly but surely.

my favorite freshwater fish is probably a brook trout or sculpin!! i also keep a tank of black neon tetras so those are cool too. Saltwater wise i'm big into sharks and rays but i also love scombrids so like tuna and mackerel i guess. I also did undergrad research on mullet and i fucking love those fish they look so happy to see you like little water puppies. i could come up with more funky crazy stuff but that's what comes to mind. I don't eat fish cause i'm just a picky eater but i did have a smoked salmon with a maple bacon glaze once that was to die for, and i also had a grilled mahi mahi sandwich on the beach that was super yum once. thanks for the q's!!

Just woke up from a dream where I was supposed to be Mac from IASIP. It was briefly relevant because Dee&Dennis were in my dream and mocking 'me' because the oven was broken and I was desperately searching for a place to bake my 'dinner' which was like, massive slabs of pork with american cheese sandwiched between it and a pile of sliced deli turkey on top of it. They were mocking my meal saying it was shit and etc and I was really upset.

There were a bunch of people butchering live mahi mahi in the courtyard of my apartment buildng (not an actual building I've ever seen before) and they were playing 'Total Eclipse Of The Heart' really loudly and distorted on speakers and I was running around with my meat slabs and asking everyone What are you doing whats with the fish and one of them cackles and says 'It's Spooky Tuesday, faggot' and I immediately woke up. (the song was actually playng on my bluetooth speaker and had infiltrated my dream)

#The 'It's Spooky Tuesday Faggot' dialogue is word for word I wrote it down the instant I woke up #There was also an angle throughout whre I was covered with weird growths and scratching them off but only like mildly distressed about it #I think there was also something involving ambulances being driven through the building's halls and I was like 'That's normal'#Oh there was also a thing involving like...math homework?? I had a binder full of math homework that I was really upset about #Also was painting my nails dark green and spilled nail polish all over my math homework #It was a complicated dream I think I'm forgetting like half of it

the food post

for those who might be somehow unaware of what ive been posting abt for the past 3 weeks, i have been in florida staying with a friend for the duration. it is my first time visiting the united states. and now it is coming to an end i finally get to compile my experiences

(no, i did not get to eat gator, but maybe next time :pensive:)

biscuit and gravy

the quintessential. only got to try it the other day but holy shit that was so good. yall have something good going on with the the thick gravy honestly. incredible

corn dog

my housemate has been asking me to find out what a corn dog is like for months before i came out here. found some in the frozen food section of publix and oven-cooked them. was not expecting the batter to be sweet (with real honey! as the box said!) which was a little weird but it wasnt Bad. i did get to write a whole paragraph on the flavor profile and texture of the corndog but i need not repeat it

frosted sugar cookies

couldn't eat more than one at a time before i had to recover from so much goddamn sugar. was not expecting them to be soft either! but good shit

sweet iced tea

i was informed the kind i tried was not the sweetest you can get down in the south. it was a relatively tame experience, comparatively. and yet that was So Much its like drinking straight syrup

lemonade that isn't sprite

ho ly shitttttttt

lemonade mixed with sweet iced tea 2:1

nectar of the fucking gods.

grape popsicle

vastly superior purple flavour to the blackcurrant back home. dont fucking @ me

chik-fil-a

i am aware i'm getting a mark on my gay card for this one but it was just once, and probably the best chicken sandwich i ever had, but that's probably because uk fast food fucking sucks more than anything. the frosted lemonade changed my life and im so mad(/j) i have morals and will probably never buy it again

meatloaf

disclaimer i helped Make the meatloaf but i did not actually get to eat it it was for someone else. but im minorly worried about what goes into that thing and how you make it. regardless i got the recipe from my brand new southern grandma and am SO excited to terrorise my family with it when i get back they are going to hate it so much, just conceptually

deviled eggs

helped make this too. much like meatloaf i am consistently concerned at the mixtures of ingredients that go into some food here but i did get to try this one and it was pretty good :)

shaved ice

i dont know how quintessentially american this one is but i've never had it before so i'm counting it. very nice and made my tongue red. most flavourings and food colourings that can do that are banned in the uk or slapped behind a "may have adverse effects on children" label so that was a slightly novel experience

philly cheese steak sandwich

good fucking sandwich and i got to get it with not one but Two of my favourite people which just improved the experience all round tbh. so much meat i did not really feel like eating anything else for most of the rest of the day thO

chipotle

babys first chipotle went about as well as you can expect. had first burrito and it was fucking GOOD tho. was also told "hey lets get chips and queso it's like cheese sauce its so good :)" and was not told beforehand that queso has chili in it but it Was really fucking good so i just kinda kept eating it anyway

that one fish sandwich at the seafood bar the other day

i have already posted abt this one it needs no introduction but it was mahi-mahi and it was really good. even if towards the end all i could taste was ranch for the sake of my sanity and my poor white tastebuds. i really did my best im fighting for my fucking life out here

fish dip

it sure was fish!!! very good fish. store was referred to simply as "that place with the dip" and it was one of those unassuming run-down looking places on the side of the road that inexplicably just have godly delicious food so thats how you know its gonna be the best thing youve ever had and it Was

key lime pie

im in florida i couldnt miss this one. lemon pies are already my favourite kind of dessert and it was like that a little to the left and it was really really damn good

beef jerky

i was told that eating this and tearing it apart with your teeth makes you feel like some kind of meat-eating wild animal and this was not an inaccurate description

i Think that's everything i can remember but if i think of more ill tack em on the end here later. enjoy, americans

#i dont think i have anything else to add except for i wish they had panera bread back home.. i like their flatbread pizza so much #the food post #flight at 3:20pm tomorrow and im.. im handling it! im dealing Fine *hasnt packed anything yet*#i dont want to go im not done hanging out with the homies yet!!! augah!!!! im going through it!!!!!

I'm told we can do hard things and for me, quilting is hard!

Knoxville Culinary Escapade: A Solo Sales Odyssey

By Eliana Montalvo

*Day One: Arrival and Culinary Delights*

The cozy embrace of McGhee Tyson Airport welcomed me to Knoxville, a city pulsating with promise. The Hyatt Place Hotel, nestled in the heart of the action, provided a comfortable perch. Amidst holiday preparations at the nearby theaters and a charming shopping plaza, Tupelo Honey beckoned. The waiter's warm gesture initiated a gastronomic journey—a biscuit masterpiece, accompanied by homemade whipped butter and blueberry jam. A Mahi Mahi spectacle ensued, adorned with homemade creole butter, bacon-braised collard greens, and rosemary Parmesan crispy potatoes. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, dispelling my usual reservations about rolls and breaded delights.

*Evening Unveilings:* Knoxville's nocturnal charm unfolded as I ventured to the Regal cinema, a mere heartbeat from my hotel. The rooftop bar offered a small hummus plate, a prelude to an eerie yet captivating screening of "Five Nights at Freddy's." The city lights painted a mesmerizing tableau, turning my evening into a visual feast.

*Day Two: Breakfast Bliss and City Wonders*

The day commenced with a spicy vegetarian croissant at The French Market, a sensory delight featuring feta cheese, roasted red peppers, avocado, spinach, and spicy aioli. Lavender vanilla iced coffee elevated my morning, claiming its spot among the top coffee experiences. The iconic Sun Sphere and the tranquil Worlds Fair Park beckoned, the latter adorned with captivating murals under an inviting underpass bridge.

*Knoxville Zoo Excursion:* Knoxville Zoo became my afternoon haven, showcasing vibrant exhibits. The reptile room unveiled an entire ecosystem, with a free-roaming sloth stealing the spotlight. The red panda exhibit featured an almost "open enclosure," providing an intimate glimpse. Sibling lions, rescued as cubs, echoed the familiar body language of housecats, creating a fascinating connection.

*Evening Elegance:* Urban Outfitters yielded a charming romper, setting the stage for an evening at "Not Watson" in historic Market Square. My choice, the Grilled Salmon Fillet with honey mustard sauce, proved a triumph. Asparagus and crispy Brussels sprouts added a delightful side note, capping off another culinary high.

*Day Three: Conference Insights and Awards Night*

Conference preparations were fueled by a familiar Starbucks vanilla cream cold brew and Gouda sandwich. The museum offered a reflective dark room with beanbags, featuring ocean and moon visuals, creating a serene interlude. A visit to Stock and Barrel treated me to a buffalo burger— an all-natural house brisket blend served medium-well, adorned with buttermilk fondue, house buffalo sauce, and celery. The accompanying house-made crispy fries elevated the burger to a gastronomic masterpiece.

*Final Impressions:* The awards dinner, a crescendo of my journey, unfolded with a Cesar salad, surf and turf featuring a perfectly rare steak, a sumptuous crab cake, and potatoes with gravy. Dessert, a chocolate mousse dome with a raspberry purée drizzle, was a delightful finale. As Knoxville bid me adieu at dawn, the desire for shared experiences lingered, blending seamlessly with the memories of culinary splendors.
