Garth Brooks premieres at the Wynn and it's a success!

For the first time in 8 years, Garth Brooks stepped back into the light on stage and performed in front of a live audience at the Wynn last week. In a city where everything is getting bigger and bigger, Brooks' show seems like the odd-one-out. Just one guy, a guitar and a microphone in front of a small audience of people who paid retail price for their tickets since Steven Wynn has enacted harsh anti-scalping practices.

There aren't any pyrotechnics or elaborate stunts, or even a full band, just Garth Brooks singing up close and personal.

And people are loving it. Las Vegas Weekly loved the fact that Brooks was taking requests from the audience - meaning every show is going to be unique!

After a few songs and a Field of Dreams reference, Garth brings up the house lights and takes questions -- and requests! This is where Brooks really breaks from the pack, the rare superstar ready, willing and able to work on his feet. And these apparently spontaneous, unexpected requests included some early and obscure Brooksiana, providing some of the most polished and powerful moments of the show.

I haven't gotten to see the show but if the reviews are to be believed, this is going to be a show worth seeing - and with ticket prices locked in at $125 there's little reason not go try and see it when you're in the city. It may not be full of glitz and glam, but it's a down to earth show that full of heart.
