Viva Las Vegas - Siegfried And
Roy/Elton John
More performers who
have made Las Vegas the entertainment capital of the
world.
Siegfried And
Roy
When Siegfried and Roy
arrived in Las Vegas more than 30 years ago, a leading hotel
executive said to them, "Boys, I have to tell you, magic
doesn't work in this town."
Is that so? In their three
plus decades in Las Vegas Siegfried and Roy have performed
for more than £25million people - in fact, it's been
noted that no other Las Vegas performers have been able to
consistently match their audience attendance
records.
Elton
John
Standing in for Celine
Dion at the Colosseum when she's on leave is none other than
'Rocket Man' Sir Elton John, doing a show called red
piano.
The Colosseum has also
hosted performances by Mariah Carey, Tim McGraw and Gloria
Estefan. "I can't do this show anywhere else in the world
except here," the entertainer said. "It's back to costume
changes and Velcro."
The production is filled
with an eclectic mix of songs and costumes, and harks back
to the 'flying sequins' of Elton John's flamboyant stage
shows of the past.
