Kenny Chesney returns to Las Vegas in July

Country superstar Kenny Chesney just can’t get enough of Las Vegas. He just played The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel over the weekend and now he announces two more shows there on Friday, July 3, and Saturday, July 4.

“We helped open this place [six] years ago,” Chesney said during one of his shows at The Joint over the weekend. “It feels good to be back. We’re going to a lot of places this summer but we’ll be coming back here in July. This is the eighth time we’ve played here and we can’t get enough.”

Chesney performed some of his biggest hits during the show. “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy,” “Summertime” and “American Kids” were among the hits he played. He also threw in a cover of “Whole Lotta Rosey.”

His Fourth of July weekend gigs will make him the performer who has played the most shows at The Joint. The two July shows will bring his total at the resort to 11.

The country musician began his road to fame in 1994 when he released his first album, “In My Wildest Dreams.” Since then, 14 of his 15 albums were certified gold or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America. He’s also sold more than 1 million tickets during each of his past 10 tours, more than any other artist of the 21st century.

Tickets start at $155 and go on sale Friday, April 10.

Tickets: Hard Rock Hotel box office, (702) 693-5000 ext. 6914
