Steve Wynn hits jackpot with Garth Brooks
Country superstar Garth Brooks have agreed to come out of retirement and take a five year weekend residency and shows at the Wynn Encore in Las Vegas starting on December 11. The reason for this was Steve Wynn, the Las Vegas casino mogul. By offering Brooks a large paycheck together with perks, Brooks agreed to take the offer. This summer, Brooks have already kicked of his shows by playing two secret shows at the hotel.
Having been in the casino business for quite some time, Wynn knows that attracting people to visit his hotel can be one of the hardest part for him. Having Brooks to entice people to come and visit, might just be worth the paycheck. Each ticket for the show costs $125 and total sales for the shows could bring Wynn millions of dollars. But more importantly these shows will be drawing people to Las Vegas and to Encore, the luxury hotel he opened when the economy was really bad.
Other the big paycheck Wynn gave Brooks to play at the Encore Theater, he also included the ultimate executive perk, Brooks’ own private jet. According to Brooks, his top of the line private jet, a new 11-seat Challenger jet has a very cool interior and paint job. Wynn also said that, this private jet will make Brooks honor his promise and would also make his commute from Oklahoma to Las Vegas faster and more elegant.
