Being first is not always being right.... Trust me NO one is talking in an official capacity about Garth Brooks..... It IS true that Brooks is having 2 news conferences on Thursday October 15th....One in Nashville then a second one in Las Vegas....
Now Robin Leach and other in Las Vegas have plenty of Vegas contacts and that place can only keep certain kinds of secrets....For months the Vegas people have been talking Garth...The leaks on the expected Garth shows are coming from Vegas....Everyone associated with Steve Wynn seems to be acknowledging that Garth is coming to Vegas to play at Mr Wynn's hotel where the late Danny Gans played....I believe them...BUT devil's in the details....
How much a ticket? Even for charity Garth takes care of his fans like he did in KC and LA a few years ago..This is a small place we are talking about here...not a vast arena like the MGM where the ACMs have been or even the Mandalay Events center.
How many shows? No one is talking about that even the leakers...one leaker said 16 shows......
So is Garth coming out of retirement to start playing Vegas? Rememebr garth never said he wouldnt ever play again..he said TOUR wont happen until his girls got older. So technically, yes shows NO tour... Folks Garth doesn't need the money...This man has been spending his life being a Dad first ..husband to Trisha a close second and a tireless worker for charity next.... If Garth does play Vegas it will be special and not forever. It will most likely be for charity. I would think this is a LIMITED event...maybe less than 2 dozen shows ( educated guess based on past events)...
Steve Wynn hosted Garth a few months ago....There were at least 2 special private shows at the Danny Gans theater for movers and shakers.
Thursday Garth will make some official announcements...The word used by leakers " resident headliner" is a tricky one..that would truly be a surprise part of the announcement. Garth doing some special shows to help about Wynn..or the fact he will base out of Wynn's hotel and do some special shows int he next year...possible...
The flight from Tulsa to Vegas is 2:30 approx...flying East maybe 2...so its easy for the g man to spend very little time away from home. He doesnt fly SWA anymore though he did fly commercial for most of his career..frugal..now private FYI.
Why Vegas? It's Home of the National Finals Rodeo December 3 through 12...That's when country goes to Vegas... Brooks and Dunn will be at the Hilton Dec 4 ,5,6...here are the other rodeo bookings
That's some pretty good guessing there. You seem to know as much or more than anybody else.
