zanif Posted October 9, 2007 at 11:43 AM Posted October 9, 2007 at 11:43 AM (edited) Nevada Commission on Tourism to Honor Celine Dion at 2007 Governor's Conference on TourismTuesday October 9, 7:00 am ET CARSON CITY, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 9, 2007 -- The Nevada Commission on Tourism will honor Grammy award-winning, international superstar Celine Dion as Entertainer of the New Millennium at the annual Governor's Conference on Tourism in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace hotel and casino, Dec. 12-14, Lt. Gov. Brian K. Krolicki announced today. Dion will make a special appearance to accept the award at an evening reception on Dec. 13 at 6 p.m. "On behalf of the state of Nevada, we are delighted to have the opportunity to publicly honor and thank Celine Dion, an extraordinary entertainer who has not only performed in Nevada but also chosen to call Nevada home and invested in the health and prosperity of the state and its residents," Krolicki, tourism commission chair, said. This year's Governor's Conference on Tourism is offering early registrants the exclusive opportunity to purchase tickets to one of Dion's final performances in Las Vegas. The offer is for the Wednesday, Dec. 12, performance at 8:30 p.m. and tickets start at $112.50. Tickets are limited. This will be one of Dion's last performances in The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which was built specifically for her show. Dion has been performing in Las Vegas to sold-out crowds since the opening of the show in March 2003, with almost 3 million people having seen the show. Caesars Entertainment built the $95 million Colosseum to stage her show, "Celine Dion A New Day...," and enhance its reputation as a superstar show venue. Since becoming a resident of Las Vegas, Dion has dedicated more than a half dozen performances and donated millions of dollars to various Las Vegas-based charities from Opportunity Village and Aid for AIDS of Nevada, to The Rape Crisis Center, Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth, and Project REACH. Nationally and internationally, she has donated proceeds from her performances in Las Vegas to UNICEF for the Asian tsunami, the Red Cross for Hurricane Katrina, and more than $2 million for Harrah's Entertainment employees affected by the hurricane in New Orleans. "Nevada is known for its elaborate stage shows featuring famous entertainers, most of whom visit the state on tour performing for only a few nights and then get back on the road," Tim Maland, Commission director, said. "Since the new millennium, Ms. Dion has stood out as a very productive member of our community -- aspiring to make a positive difference in the lives of all Nevadans."

Teodora Posted October 9, 2007 at 02:28 PM Posted October 9, 2007 at 02:28 PM (edited) They so should rename Vegas 'Las Celine'I agree! I would move to Celine land! That city was pretty much dead before she decided to go there, and now everybody that's anybody wants their own show, their own little something in Vegas. Still, no one manages to get their little something there, cause they don't have the star power to attract to many people. I don't know about calling the city Las Celine, but they should at least change the name into the Celine Dion Colosseum. It's not that hard and she's earned it. Not to mention they built the Colosseum especially for her show. There won't be another entertainer in our life time that could bring so many people there or anywhere else, for that matter.
