LAS VEGAS (UPI) -- British rock 'n' roll icon Elton John is to give
his 200th performance of "The Red Piano" show at the Colosseum at
Caesars Palace in Las Vegas this week.
Harrah's Entertainment Inc. said the popular show's milestone will be
reached Saturday.
John's critically acclaimed "The Red Piano" debuted at the Colosseum
in February 2004.
"People from virtually every major country have traveled to Caesars to
see Elton John's 'The Red Piano,' and long after the standing ovations
have ended, they leave us with treasured memories of one of the great
performer/songwriters of this or any era," Gary Selesner, the resort's
president, said in a statement. "We are deeply grateful to Elton and
his talented band for giving so much joy to hundreds of thousands of
Caesars Palace guests."
The show is to return to Caesars Palace for additional engagements,
starting July 23 and then again beginning Oct. 22.
Later this year, fans in Europe will also have the opportunity to
experience "The Red Piano" as John takes the show on the road to
England, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and France.
