Bentley headlines BleauLive Theater December 4 and 5, 2026, timed to Wrangler National Finals Rodeo week, with tickets already through presale
Published July 27, 2026
Dierks Bentley is playing two nights at Fontainebleau Las Vegas’ BleauLive Theater, December 4 and 5, 2026, timed directly to Wrangler National Finals Rodeo week. Artist presale opened July 15 and general tickets went on sale July 17, so this is not a fresh announcement anymore, but it is a booking worth knowing about if you are planning a December trip around NFR. Fontainebleau’s move to book a headliner during rodeo week fits a pattern the property has leaned on all year: stack the calendar with country and rock names during the weeks Las Vegas already fills up on its own.
Why NFR Week Matters for This Booking
National Finals Rodeo brings a country music audience to Las Vegas every December whether or not there is a concert to go with it, and BleauLive Theater has used that captive crowd before. Bentley’s two-night run adds to a 2026 lineup at the venue that has already included Marc Anthony, Jack White and Keith Urban, so this is Fontainebleau treating BleauLive as a rotating headliner room rather than a single-artist residency space. For a Strip country show you can book right now, Spotlight carries Tim McGraw tickets at The Colosseum starting at $76.
What This Means for Your Vegas Trip
If you are already coming to Las Vegas for NFR the first week of December, Bentley’s Fontainebleau dates give you something to book on one of your non-rodeo nights without needing to leave the Strip corridor. Fontainebleau sits at the north end of the Strip, near the Las Vegas Convention Center and SAHARA, so pairing a Bentley show with dinner or another act the same trip is easy to plan around. Hotel and show inventory both tighten up during NFR week, so locking dates early matters more here than for a normal weekend. Beyond this one booking, Las Vegas country shows run on the Strip well past just NFR week if your travel dates do not line up with December 4 or 5.
Book Around NFR Week Now
December in Las Vegas gets crowded fast once NFR is in town, and BleauLive Theater does not hold many seats compared to an arena show. Between the rodeo crowd and the usual holiday travel bump, rooms and show tickets both move quicker than a typical week, so waiting until you land in town is the riskier play. If you want a Strip show locked in before hotel rates climb for rodeo week, Vegas Strip show tickets covers what else is booking that same week, from comedy to production shows to whatever else fits around your NFR schedule.
