Alison Krauss and Union Station perform at Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas on Tuesday, September 29, 2026. Alison Krauss is one of the most decorated American musicians working, with 27 Grammy Awards and a catalog that spans bluegrass, country, and acoustic roots music. Union Station, her long-running band with Dan Tyminski, Barry Bales, Jerry Douglas, and Ron Block, delivers the full live experience that recordings only approximate. The Encore Theater at the Wynn seats around 2,000 and produces some of the most intimate concerts in Las Vegas. The audience for this show is attentive, well-prepared, and arrives early.
Rock N' Potato is at Showcase Mall, 3785 S Las Vegas Blvd, Suite 207, approximately 0.7 miles south of Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas. Walking north along Las Vegas Blvd takes about 12 to 15 minutes, or take a 5 to 10 minute rideshare from the front of Showcase Mall. Counter service, no reservation needed. September 29 is a Tuesday, which puts the show inside Rock N' Potato's Tuesday hours: open until 11:30pm. Pre-show dinner before doors is fully covered. For the full picture of Encore Theater dining logistics, see the food near Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas guide.
Rock N' Potato holds a 4.8-star Google rating and a 4.9 on TripAdvisor, ranked #23 nationally on the Yelp Top 100 for 2026. The menu names every potato after a rock legend, the prices are honest, and counter service keeps your timeline in your control. Before one of the most talented live performers in contemporary American music, dinner should be worth the occasion. The Fleetwood MacDaddy on a Tuesday night in late September before Alison Krauss at the Wynn is that kind of dinner.
Pre-show timing for a Tuesday night at Encore Theater
Encore Theater is inside Wynn Las Vegas at 3131 Las Vegas Blvd S. A Tuesday night show at the Wynn draws a very different crowd from the weekend: measured, experienced, and not interested in rushing. The audience for an Alison Krauss show knows exactly how they want the evening to go. Eat at Rock N' Potato by 6:30pm or 7:00pm for most show times, and you arrive at the Wynn with time to settle in well before the house lights go down. September nights in Las Vegas are warm; the walk up the Strip is a comfortable 12 to 15 minutes. A rideshare from Showcase Mall front gets you there in 5 to 10 minutes if the group prefers.
Note on hours for Tuesday shows: Rock N' Potato is open until 11:30pm on Tuesdays (not 1am, which is the Friday-Sunday schedule). The kitchen is running throughout any typical Encore Theater Tuesday night show. Pre-show dining is fully covered on any standard show schedule.
What to order before the Alison Krauss and Union Station show
Fleetwood MacDaddy $35.95
The Grammy-night-level occasion order. Twenty-seven Grammy Awards and a career that redefined what acoustic American music could do earns a meal that matches the weight of the evening. The Fleetwood MacDaddy is the full loaded baked potato, $35.95. Named for a legend, built for an occasion. The right call before Alison Krauss at the Wynn.
Fleetwood Mac $20.95
The mid-size rock-legend order. $20.95 for a loaded potato built to deliver the same quality at a different scale. Same craft, same name, same level of intention. For the group member who wants the signature dish without going all the way to the MacDaddy before a Tuesday night at Encore Theater.
Dirty Motley $15.95
Rock-legend named, generously built, and solid for a pre-show plate. $15.95. For a group with different tastes, mixing the Dirty Motley with birria fries or wings covers the table before heading north to the Wynn.

Smashed and seared with braised birria, $15.95. The option for the group member who wants a burger built with care before an evening of music built with the same.

Original Groupie $10.95
The entry point into the menu. A complete loaded baked potato for $10.95. The best value on the Las Vegas Strip on a show night.
Cheese Fries $8.95
Crispy fries, melted cheese, $8.95. The add-on that rounds out any order without complicating it.
Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake $8.95
Creamy cheesecake with Fruity Pebbles on top, $8.95. The dessert that finishes the meal before you walk up the Strip to the Wynn. A cheerful close before a quiet and precise night of acoustic music at Encore Theater.
