Move over, Elvis: Elton John and his million dollar piano are coming to Las Vegas.
The Rocket Man singer will headline 16 shows in Sin City this fall at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, beginning a 3-year residency at the lavish venue he calls the "perfect, idyllic place to play."
Elton's not the only Grammy-winner to ply his craft at Caesars, as My Heart Will Go On singer Celine Dion returned to the venue last month to begin her second residency there.
And locals are “thrilled” that these two mega-stars are returning to their home town which has been hit hard by the recession in recent times.
“Las Vegas is thrilled to welcome Elton John back to the city again,” Cara Roberts, spokesperson for the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce tells Breaking Celebrity News.
“He’s an amazing performer with a huge international draw. It’s another positive indication that Vegas is well on it’s way back from the recession.
