No, you can't get the LVA coupon book at the post office - Triker said it would be picked up at the office, not post office...LVA's office in Vegas.
one suggestion - if you're going to buy a LVA membership, order before you go (if you have a CC that won't screw you on fees) to pick up in Vegas (if you have a way to get to their office in Vegas).
Just may be that you'll have a pleasant surprise as a result of doing so.

I am still angry with Garth not confirming this and starting his run before our trip. I've only seen him once in a massive venue which sold out for many nights straight...would be very cool to see him in a much smaller theatre.

not sure when he is starting the residency, I am staying in Encore at the moment, there is a press conference here at 1pm with Garth & Steve Wynn.

It saves international postage charges for starters.

Update on packing list, I also picked up a foldable laundry bag for our dirty washing, I always forget about this and it annoys me.

Anyway got one from Poundland....it was one pound before anyone asks...:rotfl:.

I'll also take some washing tablets so if we get a chance we can get some washing done as we go along. I'm not a clean freak but its so much nicer to come home with clean stuff, means less work when you get back.


Also got this today as it looked quite funny and useful to use.

Garth Brooks says he's coming out of retirement


NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country superstar Garth Brooks announced Thursday that he's coming out of retirement with a show in Las Vegas.

Brooks, 47, said at a news conference in Nashville that he will end his retirement with an extended engagement at the Wynn Resort.

The move has been rumored in the music industry for weeks.

Brooks retired in 2000 to spend more time with his three children. He's occasionally popped up in special appearances at awards shows and charity events, but has mostly stayed out of the limelight.

In an interview with The Associated Press last year, Brooks said he would like to return to the road once he raises his children.

The Recording Industry Association of America honored Brooks in 2007 with a career award after he passed Elvis Presley to become the top-selling solo artist in U.S. history. At the time, he had sold more than 123 million albums.

Brooks' last studio album, "Scarecrow," was released in 2001. His three-disc compilation "The Ultimate Hits" finished 10th on Billboard's 2008 list of albums and showed Brooks still has the muscle he displayed in the 1990s.

Brooks divorced his wife, Sandy Mahl, in 2001 and married fellow country star Trisha Yearwood in 2005. The couple lives in Oklahoma.
