Beyoncé heads to Vegas for final shows: Extreme heat, bag policy, Allegiant Stadium tips
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is riding into final stretch of her "Cowboy Carter" tour and is set to deliver two high-powered shows to close out the era.
The Grammy-winning singer is headed to Las Vegas for the last stop on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is poised to take the stage at Allegiant Stadium for two nights on July 25 and 26.
The Vegas stop comes after Beyoncé delivered four dazzling concerts at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, debuting new stunts and bringing out husband Jay-Z for the first time on a U.S. stop of her tour. During the four-night stint, Bey teased that the ATL crowd was her "loudest" yet.
Of course, Beyoncé first kicked off her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with a 39-song set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion and different music genres.
Here's what to know as fans head to Allegiant Stadium to witness the final two shows.
