Las Vegas: This is Steve Wynn's Favorite Drink

The next time you find yourself in the Eastside Lounge, the sexy lounge just off the casino, that overlooks the pool area at Encore Las Vegas, order yourself one of the Berry Infusion drinks. Why? Well, apparently it is Steve Wynn's favorite drink (so said our cocktail waitress.)

As you can imagine, the Berry Infusion is an incredibly fruity drink. It consists of Skyy Vodka and peach schnapps infused with fresh pineapple, blueberries and strawberries and costs $14. But hey, if it is good enough for Steve Wynn, it is good enough for you. 'Nuff said.

If you find yourself strolling around the <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/wynn">Wynn</a> and <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/encore">Encore</a> properties these days, chances are the one and only song you will hearing blaring from the Wynn's outdoor speakers is "Friends in Low Places." And yes, that's because country superstar <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/garth brooks">Garth Brooks</a> has officially kicked off his semi-permanent residency here. (Wynn might be playing his other songs but the four different times we were outside the hotel, it was that ultimate bar crowd pleaser playing.) We were invited along with several other Vegas media folk to attend the 10:30pm showing of Garth's concert on Saturday night, his second night in town. With tickets at

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.vegaschatter.com/files/1425/beyonceencore.jpg" class="top"> According to sexiest male gossip columnist alive, <a href="http://twitter.com/Norm_Clarke/status/6456333433">Norm Clarke</a>, word on the Strip is that <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/wynn">Wynn Las Vegas</a> is courting superstar <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/beyonce">Beyonce</a> to do a longterm show. While we already find it shocking that Beyonce would consider setting up semi-permanent shop in Vegas, what's completely wild is the figure being thrown around for Beyonce's paycheck: $750,000 per show..Now, this wouldn't be a six nights a week, double performances on Fridays and Saturdays kind of gig. It's probably something similar to <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/garth brooks">Garth Brooks</a> deal which is strictly weekend shows for month-long stretches. And we surmise that Queen B will fill in when Garth needs some time off. Still, $750,000 a show? With a

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.vegaschatter.com/files/30451/WynnSly.jpg" class="top"> Art has never been the first thing we seek out in Vegas, although we bet the galleries at the <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/Bellagio">Bellagio</a> and <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/Wynn">Wynn</a> are decent places to escape when the sound of the slot sonatas starts to send us batty. But the news of <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/Steve%20Wynn">Steve Wynn</a>s latest acquisition has us rethinking our art aversion. While in Miami for Art Basel this week, Wynn purchased a painting by Sylvester Stallone. Uh huh. Rocky. Rambo. Sly. Judge Dredd. He paints. Apparently, Stallone has been a part-time painter for 30 years, but his foray into the Art Basel world puts him in the professional category. What else do you call it when you sell your painting to one

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.vegaschatter.com/files/1425/garthbrooksvegas.jpg" class="top"> Earlier today, <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/garth brooks">Garth Brooks</a> and <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/steve wynn">Steve Wynn</a> were on a stage in Western gear confirming Garth Brook's new gig at the Encore Theater. The show will run for 16 weeks, starting in December and Garth will be doing this sort of weekend stint for the next five years. <a href="http://www.lasvegassun.com/blogs/kats-report/2009/oct/15/garth-brooks-deal-encore-five-years/">The Kats Report</a> says specific dates for the first batch of shows are Dec. 11-13, Jan. 1-3, Jan. 22-24, Feb. 12-14 and Feb. 26-28. Show times start at 8pm, with a second show on Saturdays at 10:30pm. Prices for all seats will be $125 but there will be no "tiered" ticket pricing. To which we say, WTF? We pay $125 even for the worst
