When Garth Brooks comes out of retirement beginning Dec. 11 at Wynn Encore, will he and wife Trisha Yearwood move to Las Vegas?
Not likely, since he went into retirement in 2000 to take care of his three young daughters (who at the time were 4, 6, and 8).
So how does Steve Wynn get him to Vegas?
Wynn bought Brooks a jet plane.
The brand new 11-seater Challenger jet will transport Brooks from Oklahoma to Vegas Friday afternoon, where he'll perform that night, two shows on Saturday, one on Sunday, then return back in time to drive his daughters to and from school every day.
He will commit to shows a quarter at a time, to see how he and his family are handling the schedule. Ultimately the long-term plan is to play at Encore for the next 5 years.
The amount that Wynn is paying Brooks is being kept secret, but it's similar to adding an item to your Amazon shopping bag -- only instead of being too low to advertise, it's too high for the Wynn stockholders to be comfortable with.
Brooks will perform in the 1,500-seat Encore Theater for $125 per ticket.
