The members of Little Big Town are in Las Vegas this weekend for the ACM Awaryds, where they are nominated for four awards, including Vocal Group of the Year and Album of the Year for Tornado. When they’re in Las Vegas, you won’t catch them at the gambling tables or slots that much. “I’m kinda conservative with [gambling]. Like I’ll put a certain amount in my pocket, as I win, putting it back in my pocket to make sure I leave with some,” says LBT’s Jimi Westbrook. “That doesn’t always work out. We don’t go crazy on the gambling action.”
The group will also turn in an amazing performance, which is not surprising given their past awards show performances of their number-one hits, “Pontoon” and “Tornado.” So, make sure to keep it tuned into CBS on Sunday night (April 7th) to catch their performance. The 48th Annual ACM Awards will air live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena beginning at 8pm ET.
Little Big Town will start hitting the airwaves with their brand new single, “Your Side of the Bed,” on Monday (April 8th).

He’ll win like $4,000 on a slot machine.” KAREN: “On a penny machine.” KIMBERLY: “It’s crazy.” JIMI: “Not my luck. [laughs]”
