Private Jet Helped Steve Wynn Coax Garth Brooks Out of Retirement
CNN reports that Steve Wynn pulled out all the stops to get country star Garth Brooks to come out of retirement and agree to do shows at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas. One of the big perks in the deal was that Steve Wynn bought Garth Brooks his own private jet - an 11-seat Challenger - so he could easily travel back home to Oklahoma to see his family.
Of course, the commute from his farm in Owasso, Oklahoma, to Vegas will be made a little faster with his new private jet -- an 11-seat Challenger, courtesy of Steve Wynn, the billionaire CEO of Wynn Hotels.
"I don't know anything about jets," Brooks downplayed with a shrug. "It's got a cool interior, cool paint job, I don't know. But it gets me here (to Vegas), and it gets me home to see my girls. And so in that case, it's fabulous."
Garth Brooks' concerts at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas will begin December 11, 2009. You can purchase tickets here.
