\n\tHappening Dec. 6-7, Desert Saddle will feature performances by Kane Brown<\/a>, Marshmello<\/a>, Diplo<\/a> performing as his country alias Thomas Wesley, country star Dustin Lynch<\/a>, dance\/country hybrid project Vavo and DJ Brandi Cyrus.<\/p>\n \n\tDesert Saddle is Wynn Nightlife\u2019s first ever dance\/country hybrid event, with its debut reflecting the recent surge of dance\/country collaborations, with Brown and Marshmello\u2019s \u201cMiles On It\u201d currently in its 26th week at No. 1 on Hot Dance\/Electronic Songs and a flurry of other hybrid tracks including Ti\u00ebsto and Alana Springsteen\u2019s \u201cHot Honey\u201d finding traction this year. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWynn is all about staying ahead in the hospitality and entertainment scene,\u201d Wynn Nightlife vice president Ryan Jones tells Billboard<\/em>. \u201cWith country music gaining huge popularity, along with the success of big festivals and sold-out tours, we wanted to be the first to bring this new two-day experience to life and offer something fresh and exciting for our guests.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWynn Nightlife is co-presenting Desert Saddle with Paris Texas, the Toronto-based country venue and entertainment brand. Two-day passes for the show start at $50 and are available now. <\/p>\n \n\tDesert Saddle takes place during the National Finals Rodeo, happening in Las Vegas from Dec. 5 to 14. The Rodeo is bringing a flurry of country music stars to Las Vegas, with Garth Brooks<\/a>, Shaboozey<\/a>, Wynonna Judd<\/a> and many other all performing around town during the event.<\/p>\n \n\tIn terms of uniting dance fans and country fans at the club, Jones finds the fit to be a natural one, particularly given how well the two genres are currently merging in music and on the charts. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe don\u2019t see any challenges with integrating country music into the nightlife landscape, in fact, we see massive potential,\u201d he says. \u201cThere are many similarities with country music audiences and dance music audiences \u2014 people with high-energy looking to have a great time! Take Diplo, for example, at Stagecoach: It was a completely jam-packed performance with an audience enjoying the best of both music genres! Our goal is to keep up with the times and offer guests this \u2018new age country party\u2019 if you will.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
