Something doesn't seem right, despite the love fest between Garth Brooks and Steve Wynn.
From the Las Vegas Sun: There is no plug to pull in Garth Brooks’ acoustic show at Encore Theater, but he’s packing the guitar and heading out of Vegas.
Announced today is the final performance date for Brooks’ solo shows at the Wynn Las Vegas enclave: Nov. 17.
In a statement, Brooks said: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Wynn. Mr. Wynn told me that the Wynn audiences were some of the best in the world, and he was right. As for Steve Wynn, he is one of the smartest guys I have ever had the pleasure of talking to or listening to. He does everything top notch and is the easiest and best boss I have ever worked for … I just love him!"
Wynn was quoted as saying, "I have always thought of Garth Brooks as a brother, and this will always be a home for him. Personally, I've never stopped being amazed at Garth's talent, nor have I ever stopped admiring the wonderful balance that he has maintained as a father and a superstar. He is, to me, the rarest of all combinations: incredibly gifted and a man of great character." http://www.lasvegassun.com/blogs/kats-report/2012/oct/03/after-three-years-garth-brooks-closing-wynn-las-ve/
This was supposed a 5 year deal and they end after 3 years and the notice was pretty short notice.
It seems, that after Wynn jacked up (doubled) the price of the tickets, that there was some lost love, despite of what they say. Tickets at $253, including fees limit who can go to the concerts and it doesn't represent the fans that made Brooks famous.
I don't know if Brooks has had 100% sell outs, but I know that the Wynn had to do some advertising to get butts in the seats. They also had to use Brook's wife, Trisha Yearwood, to come and perform at times and that's not a good sign.
It's also possible that the Brooks mystique is gone. I always thought that Brooks strength was when he had his entire band with him and not playing by himself and playing only a guitar.
So, now, the Wynn will have to find another performer or show on a short notice to take Brook's place and that's not that easy.
So, I just wonder what went wrong. No more friends in low places?
