Garth Brooks ends 3-year run in Las Vegas

Garth Brooks will bring down the curtain on his hugely popular show at the Encore Theater Wynn Las Vegas on Nov. 17.

Of the show, which was more a journey through the music that shaped his life rather than a concert, Brooks said in a prepared statement:

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Wynn. Mr. [Steve] Wynn told me that the Wynn audiences were some of the best in the world and he was right!”

Brooks’ shows were weekend-only affairs, and select weekends throughout the year, making tickets ($253) among the highest-priced and most sought-after on the Strip. Rumors about Brooks’ return to full-out concert touring have been swirling for the past few years, with the singer dropping a few hints along the way about getting back to music once his youngest daugther started college (that would be 2014).

Tickets for the final shows, Oct. 5-6; Oct. 26-27 and Nov. 16-17 are available www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-877-65-GARTH. For more information visit www.wynnlasvegas.com.
