concert goers. Her headlining show was revolutionary at the time, a pop artist who, instead of merely showcasing her powerful voice, enlisted director Franco Dragone (formerly of Cirque de Soleil and most recently of Le Reve fame) to create a one of a kind musical experience complete with intricate dance numbers and haute couture fashion ensembles. Many believe that Dion’s production paved the way for other megastars, such as Elton John and Prince, and helped chart-topping performers see Las Vegas in a new light, that audiences here were sophisticated enough to appreciate artists on a larger scale.

Dion departed Vegas to embark on a world tour between 2008-09, and her place in the Colosseum was filled with large shoes, becoming home to both Bette Midler and Cher. And now she is back and prepared to enchant audiences once again with such recognizable hits as “My Heart Will Go On”, “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now”, and “Power of Love” with an ensemble of 31 musicians in her accompanying orchestra. In 2009, Dion was named the second best selling female artist of the decade, having sold more than 17 million albums. Las Vegas was lucky enough to house such an accredited and classy solo act three years ago, and no doubt Dion’s star appeal will shine even brighter over the lights of the Strip this time around.
