Visit Las Vegas: Celine Dion

My parents and I are ready for the show!

Las Vegas has tons of shows to suits all fancies, but I wanted to treat my parents to a show that would really WOW them.  Originally, I had tickets to the much raved about Jersey Boys play, but the show closed in September, just weeks before our Vegas trip.  As luck would have it, Celine Dion was performing limited shows during the time we would be in Vegas.  I ran it by my mom and she was ecstatic. 
I was a little less ecstatic.  Although I was a HUGE fan of her "Falling Into You" album from 20 years ago, I wasn't a current fan and was a little worried I may not enjoy the show.  So armed with a plastic cup of red wine, I filled one of the 4,300 seats at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and hoped to be entertained.  The second she started singing, I was a fan again. 

You just cannot deny her talent.  As she sang new and old songs, her amazing, powerful voice is like nothing else and you are moved.  She was incredible!  I also really enjoyed her humor as she told us stories of her family and showed the audience the soft and funny side to her. 
Can you believe she has been performing in Vegas for 15 years?  She will be celebrating her 1,000th show today!  As for my parents, they LOVED the show.  It felt wonderful to give and share with them this spectacular memory! 

She wowed the audience and was accompanied by a full orchestra and band.

Amazing water shower as she performed My Heart Will Go On.
