Stoney's North Forty Hosts Riley Green Look-Alike Contest May 2

Riley Green Look-Alike Contest Hits Stoney's North Forty

Country music fans, grab your cowboy hats and practice your Southern drawl – Stoney's North Forty is hosting a Riley Green Look-Alike Contest on Saturday, May 2. This isn‘t just any random tribute night; it’s building buzz for Green's upcoming show at Topgolf Las Vegas on May 15.

The contest kicks off with registration at 8 p.m., but the real action starts at 10 p.m. when contestants take the stage. Judges will be looking for overall resemblance, style, stage presence, and how well you can get the crowd going. The winner walks away with a pair of tickets to see the real Riley Green perform live – not a bad prize for channeling your inner country star.

What I love about this event is the charitable angle. Part of the cover charge goes to ACM Lifting Lives, the Academy of Country Music‘s nonprofit that helps people in the music industry during tough times. Over the past 20 years, they’ve donated more than $12 million to worthy causes, so your night out actually does some good.

Music, Dancing, and Vegas Vibes

The evening starts early with special activities from Topgolf Las Vegas beginning at 6 p.m. – expect giveaways and concert promotions to get everyone in the mood. The venue will be pumping Riley Green-inspired music all night, and there‘s high-energy line dancing planned.

As a mom who’s been to plenty of country nights around the valley, I can tell you that Santa Fe Station knows how to throw a party. Stoney's North Forty has that authentic honky-tonk feel without the tourist markup you'll find on the Strip. Located at Santa Fe Station on North Rancho Drive, it's easily accessible for locals from Henderson, Summerlin, and beyond.

The contest is 21+ only, so this is definitely an adults-only affair. Perfect for a date night or girls' night out if you ask me.

ACM Awards Week Connection

This look-alike contest ties into something bigger happening in Vegas – ACM Awards Week. The 61st ACM Awards will stream live on Prime Video on May 17 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Having all these country music events clustered together really shows how much Las Vegas has become the heart of country entertainment.

The timing makes sense too. Get people excited about Riley Green with the look-alike contest, then they‘ll want to see him perform at Topgolf, which builds momentum for the entire ACM Awards celebration. It’s smart marketing that actually benefits a good cause.

Worth Your Saturday Night

Look, I‘m not saying you need to go out and buy a whole Riley Green costume, but this sounds like genuinely fun entertainment. The combination of live music, dancing, competition, and charity makes it more than just another bar night. Plus, if you win those concert tickets, you’re looking at a pretty sweet return on your evening out.

Registration starts at 8 p.m. on May 2 at Stoney's North Forty inside Santa Fe Station. Even if you don‘t enter the contest, it’ll be a solid country music night with actual purpose behind it.
