Celine Dion to honor millionth Las Vegas ticket-holder
Promoters of Celine Dion 's Las Vegas production say that the show will sell its millionth ticket within the next few weeks, and plan to honor the fan who buys it with a long list of perks.
According to Concerts West, the millionth ticket holder will receive a private meet-and-greet with Dion, as well as a "Live Like a Millionaire" luxury package at Caesars Palace, the hotel/casino that houses her production.
The Caesar's Palace package includes a two-night stay in one of the hotel's suites, limousine service during the stay, an upgraded pair of front-row tickets to Dion's show, a $1,000 shopping spree at the Celine Dion Boutique, $2,500 in Caesars Palace gaming chips and other prizes.
"I can't wait to meet the lucky winner and make this presentation," Dion said in a statement. "It's hard to believe we will have played for a million people in this intimate theatre. We are so fortunate for the way that the fans have supported our show."
More details about the promotion is available at Dion's official website.
The French-Canadian singer debuted her Las Vegas show, dubbed "A New Day ... featuring Celine Dion," in March of 2003, and played on about 150 nights during her inaugural year at The Colosseum, a venue built at Caesar's Palace specifically for the production.
The production, which plays Wednesdays through Sundays during select weeks, ranked second on concert-industry magazine Pollstar's year-end list of 2003's top-grossing live acts, taking in $80.5 million. Tickets for Dion's shows through October are currently on the market; the remaining 2004 dates are listed below.
