Celine Dion coming back to Caesars Las Vegas ?

May 1, 2008 ‘Game Show’ Gone, Celine Back? “$250,000 Game Show Spectacular” at the Las Vegas Hilton is a thing of the past. It shut down with so little fanfare that blogger Steve Friess only learnt of it when trying to arrange an interview with Jamie Farr, one of the afternoon show’s three rotating hosts. The LVH’s Ira Sternberg told Friess that renting out the showroom had crimped the rehearsal schedules of Barry Manilow and others, so a replacement act is unlikely.

Friess also, by way of Robin Leach, reports that Celine Dion is in negotiations to return to the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in 2009-10, possibly as a successor to Elton John’s “Red Piano” show. Hopefully, if Celine returns, she won’t bring “Powder,” Franco Dragone’s creepily omnipresent whiteface-clown figure with her. Celine, oui! Dragone, non.
