Garth Brooks sets Vegas dates for late 2011, early 2012

The latest round of dates have been revealed for Garth Brooks' sporadic weekend residency at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas, along with ticket information.
Brooks, who next takes the stage at the venue this Saturday and Sunday (10/7-10/8), is now set to play his last 2011 shows on Dec. 2 and 3. His first three weekend engagements in Las Vegas for 2012 have been confirmed as well: Jan. 6-7, Jan. 27-28 and Feb. 17-18.
The newly announced shows will take place at 7:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. each night; the early shows will begin 30 minutes earlier than they have in the past. Tickets for the latest batch of shows go on sale to the general public on Saturday (10/8) at 10 a.m. PT.
Tickets prices remain the same -- $253 including taxes and fees for all seats -- for the intimate shows.
Brooks inked a long-term deal with billionaire resort tycoon Steve Wynn in late 2009 to perform 16 weekends per year at the Wynn Resort's Encore Stage.
