Elton for Vegas?
Published September 08, 2003
Elton John's management have denied reports that the singer is planning a
Celine Dion-esque three hundred show season in Las Vegas. In a statement
John's representative told reporters: "Much wild speculation is building up
about the possibility of Elton playing hundreds of concerts in Las Vegas
over the next two years. However, as Elton's fans around the world are well
aware, Elton would not tie himself down to so many concerts in one place
when the rest of the world wants him! Last year, for example, he played well
over 100 concerts in 20 countries. It is no secret that there is a plan for
Elton to play some concerts in Las Vegas, and towards the end of October
there will be a press conference to announce the full details. No official news will be released until then, so for now the rest is, simply speculation, most of it wrong!"
John is, however, expected to play at the Caesar's Palace venue built to host Dion's mega-Vegas season. While the Dion show is selling well the venue's owners need to fill the space during Dion's breaks to ensure a return on their investment.

Celion - Celine, my bad! But maybe folks can still hum along with those 70's - 90's lyrics.
