Garth Brooks Extends His Las Vegas Residency

Just as we thought Garth Brooks' Wynn Las Vegas Encore Theater residency was coming to an end, the iconic entertainer has released a string of new dates for the stage show, which will take place between September and November of 2012.

According to The Boot, tickets for just-announced block of shows will go on-sale on June 9 at 10AM PT. Unfortunately, it wont be cheap to see this iconic country star play in Vegas. Tickets are $225 (not including taxes and service charges). Fans looking to splurge in Sin City can purchase the 'Garth Weekend Package,' which includes three nights in a Wynn or Encore Tower hotel room, two great concert tickets, Garth merchandise worth $100, dinner at Switch, your choice of spa treatments for two people and Sunday Jazz Brunch at the Country Club. Packages start at $839.

In addition to rave reviews for his Las Vegas performances, 2012 has been a pretty great year for the "retired" superstar. In January, Brooks was named the top-selling artist of the past 20 years, totaling $68.5 million in sales. Brooks also achieved another major career milestone after being chosen a Country Music Hall of Fame inductee in March. The official induction will take place this fall.

New Garth Brooks Concert Dates:

Sept. 21, 22
