These Amazing Vegas Acts Are Worth Every Penny

Garth Brooks

Somehow Vegas just doesn’t say ‘country’, but Garth Brooks made it scream country! Steve Wynn loaned Brooks a performing platform as well as a private jet so he could maintain his residence in Oklahoma. Brooks played a one man show with his voice, his songs, and his guitar. He played his own songs, as well as the songs of those he admired, such as James Taylor, folk artist Bob Seger, Ricky Scaggs and George Jones.

He riffed with the audience, joking about his out of tune guitar or comparing his voice to other greats. In November Garth Brooks closed the show after three years of sold-out nights at Encore Theater. Without a bunch of dazzling sets or lights or displays–and without even a backup band–Garth Brook dazzled Las Vegas for three years straight.
