For more than half a century, country king George Jones has ruled at the top, and he’s still going strong, performing more than 100 concerts annually on the road!

Last night, George, 77, kicked off the first of two nights of sold-out shows at the Silverton Casino Lodge, and scalpers couldn’t even buy tickets to resell at a profit. George’s fans ensured that they grabbed them all up for themselves the minute they went on sale.

Our contributing photographers Erik Kabik and Scott Harrison were on the scene to capture these extraordinary Vegas DeLuxe photos.

George, who recently was paid tribute with a Kennedy Center Awards honor, plays another sold-out show tonight at the Silverton.
