Agassi Sans Infamous Hairpiece Will Be Signing Books at Encore Tonight

We grew up playing tennis in the late 80s so Las Vegas' hometown hero Andre Agassi was one of our tennis idols. Yes, despite the crazy hair which we've since learned was a gnarly hairpiece. Thanks to his soul-baring memoir, Open, we've also learned that Agassi was doing some meth during the final days of his career and that Brooke Shields forced him to wear shoe lifts on their wedding day. (Sign #1 that you and your bride are headed for divorce.)

But still, we've got to give Agassi credit for being so...um...open about his life on the pages of this new book, where he talks not only about his hairpiece and his drug use but the extreme pressure he faced as a child from his father to be the world's best at tennis.

So we really hope he's getting the full Wynn red carpet treatment today at the Encore where he'll be signing books for Las Vegas residents inside the Encore Theater. The whole event will start at 7pm tonight but if it's too short of notice, he'll do another signing on November 22nd at the Costco in Summerlin on South Pavillion Center Drive. Go out and support Agassi if you can! But maybe leave the questions about the hairpiece alone?
