Encore Theatre
Beyoncé Knowles performed a special sold-out four show run at the Encore Theatre from July 30 to August 2, 2009. The shows, which were a part of her I Am... Tour, were completely altered from the standard arena shows that comprised the rest of the tour, with new costumes and songs added, existing songs changed, and an all-round 'intimate' theme prevailing. The shows were successful, and were filmed and released on DVD in November 2009.
Knowles announced (January 2010) a deal for an extended run at the Encore, with shows beginning in 2010.
On October 15, 2009, at a press conference, Garth Brooks announced a 5-year contract with Wynn for concerts. Brooks will do 4 shows a week for 15 weeks a year. The first show was the weekend of December 2009.
