Day 199 - Garth at the Wynn

Today was another great (and VERY hot) day in Vegas. This morning we got up and got in line to pick up our tickets for the Garth Brooks concert and then grabbed a quick breakfast before getting to the pool to claim out spots for the afternoon.

We got down earlier today than yesterday and found 2 perfect chairs to soak up some rays and more importantly with easy access to the pool.

I had to laugh a little bit, because we noticed at the pool yesterday that the wrist bands (one of many security measures to not allow scalpers to get their hands on any of the tickets) for the Garth concert were white and today they were hot pink :) Here is a shot I snapped at the pool of Q & in our matching pink wrist bands, Quinn loved it.

While I was getting ready in the bathroom, Quinn snapped a few shots from our room and of 'Garth's private jet coming in' (really not sure if this is actually his jet, but it is possible.



With our tickets in hand we headed out (so exciting!)

Since this was the last night of our long Vegas weekend, we decided to have dinner at the Wynn Casino buffet. It just seems like something you need to do while in Vegas and since I had never been to a Vegas buffet it seemed like a great plan. We didn't take any picture of dinner (nothing too exciting . . . although the desserts were very cute and I was tempted to take about 10 different ones, I think I settled on 3). Dinner was good (for a buffet) and quick which was key - so we could head over to the Encore theater for tonight's main event - GARTH!

Similar to the Beatles Love show, absolutely no cameras or pictures were allowed once inside the theater, but we do have our memories and it was awesome!

The Encore theater is a small intimate venue and was such an amazing way to see one of the greatest performers of our time entertain a live audience. The show lasted a little over 2 hours, the majority of which was based on Garth's personal music influences through out his life, with Garth singing bits of his father, mothers, brothers and later his own favorites. During the later part of the show he sang some Garth classics and took some time to talk directly with a few lucky quests.

I have been 2 regular, large arena Garth performance in my life before tonight and those were awesome too, the events are difficult to compare because they had such different intentions. One of my favorite moments of tonight's show was when the entire audience stood up (we sat most of the show, unlike my other Garth experiences) to sing Callin' Baton Rouge - So much fun! And when we all sang along with Garth to American Pie.

Hooray for another magical night in Vegas!!

Onto Omaha tomorrow . . .
