Report: Celine Dion returning to Vegas

12:29 PM PT, May 11 2009
The rumors began before she left. Celine Dion has proven to be the best draw to Vegas since Sinatra. And so, of course, most everyone assumed it was not if but when she would return to Caesars. Now, Robin Leach is reporting that Dion will resume a show at Caesars in June 2010.

There is a photo I saw from the time when Frank Sinatra played Caesars. It was of the marquee in front of the resort which read simply: "He's Here." Dion may never create a body of music as inexhaustible as Frank Sinatra, but she has proven to be as valuable to Caesars. Until the day he left, performing "The Red Piano", Elton John always referred to the room as Celine's palace, and I have no doubt if the marquee read "She's Back," all would know at once who was meant as the queen of the Colosseum.

I am looking into this story by writing the resort and the promoter of her previous show, "A New Day," and will report back to you.

Update: John Meglen, president of AEG Live and Concerts West, who promotes Dion's concerts as well as the venue at Caesars, writes in reply to my query with charming cheekiness: "... Yes, I can confirm that Robin is reporting it!........sorry.....no comment other than the normal...We Love Celine!"
