New Las Vegas residency show!

[CSCfan]

It can't just be me that thinks with a worldwide pandemic ongoing, limited leisure travel, lots of people losing their jobs, lots of illness and death still happening that announcing a multi million dollar residency is not going to matter to a lot of people at the moment? In fact, it may well make them angry.

 

Particularly those who bought their tickets to see a "Courage" show more than 2 years ago and they still have no idea if or when that will happen.

 

I agree... the timing's terrible. I know that Resorts World's due to open in June, but they could've waited for a little while (especially Céline with her world tour being on hold and not due to end until (at least) Sept 2022).

You're right that a days delay will be nothing to do with what I mentioned.

 

Honestly though, leisure travel and buying massively expensive concert tickets (that will no doubt go on sale immediately) is probably not top of a lot of peoples lists at the moment.

 

What is the tourism situation just now in America? Are people travelling for leisure? Are shows happening?

 

People are starting to travel for leisure again here, not like before but yes they are. Shows haven’t begun yet tho, Broadway and Vegas shows are still dark.

People are definitely traveling in the U.S. We’ve also vaccinated 50% of the population and stats are showing that vaccinated people are traveling. After being cooped up for over a year, people are ready to be anywhere than their homes. I’m vaccinate and ready to go. Just give me a reason to travel, Celine! Vegas, here I come!!!

[Shamrock_1982]

One of the weeks she was due to perform their clashed with fashion week in Paris and they are looking at new dates now

[stevo]

I do think people are cracking up and will be willing to spring money/book holidays/get on planes when they can.

 

I wonder what the delay was 🤔

[Frenchie]

No matter what they announce and when, it won't dominate any news cycle. Celine Dion going back to Vegas isn't exactly headlines in this day and age...as for it being unprofessional, there is obviously a valid reason why it couldn't happen today - these things happen.

 

As someone has already stated, it seems like several artists will be coming together for the announcement. So I can see it making at least the entertainment news circuit with acts like Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan.

 

Yes these things happen hence my comment, "not my problem". They are obviously wanting to do a media blitz about all this with all the artists and everything in a party or press gathering. Otherwise, they could release the pinball machine commercial and give us the information/dates in a press release since their initial plan didn't work out today.

The announcement (Céline's part at least) could be done at the end of the year anyway. I'm pretty sure she won't be performing in Vegas until 2022.

I suppose the only reason is for the hotel to get some bookings asap.

I honestly think it has more to do with them NOT wanting to Announce entertainment news at a time where many may think it’s not newsworthiness with the George Floyd verdict last night. As someone else said, what about Covid and all the mess from that, however that’s been over a year since it started this current news is less than 24 hrs old. Just my opinion of their reasoning, I doubt there will be any press conference but rather press releases.

I think the hotel/casino is using the approach to announce all they are going to have to offer. They would rather just dump out all these big names at once whether it’s still years away for some of them.

This residency would have happened without or with the pandemic, there she makes the most with no much efforts

when it comes to everything that has to do with a world tour. It's a win-win to her.

[Shamrock_1982]

Let’s not forget the courage tour next year is only for Europe, so it’s not really a world tour so to speak, so I can still see her starting this residency in early 2022.

Perhaps they are releasing a single tomorrow!! Perhaps lying down music videi!!

I don’t wanna burst your bubble but.....probably not.

I know but it will be really really foolish of them not to capitalize this given media will be all over the place for the coverage

[couldawouldashoulda]

I’m sure they’ve postponed announcing because all anyone is discussing today is George Floyd.

 

Celine has nothing scheduled from September 2021 - March 2022. If they’re opening the resort and need her to headline it to make them money/bring people to the hotel, it’s possible that she could open a new show there with 15-20 shows at the end of the year/beginning of next, and then go to Europe to continue the CWT.

Celine is supposed to have here shows in two monts but the media is all hush about it, and there is a going-on demand against the company who sold the tickets for her shows. Sadly lots of mess.

I can’t believe they still haven’t canceled or postponed those shows.

Yeah well it won’t be the first time they are “foolish”.

Well I can’t speak for all of America but Vegas plans on reopening at 100% capacity in June and a lot of shows are starting back there. Edited April 21, 2021 at 04:04 PM by Shamrock_1982

They do keep saying the theater will be ready this Fall. I do wonder who they will select to be their big grand opening headliner! You're right, she could squeeze it in if they really want her to be the first big residency performer there...that's for sure!

Even here in California they are talking about opening to 100% in June...that I didn't expect so soon. It'll be interesting to see how everything pans out over the next few months.

Exactly, she does not need it at all. I rather see her being creative , record new albums, tour with that album and evolve. This is not evolving this is just being stuck in the 90s and wanting to be stuck in the 90s. For what? This couragetour came quite fast over ending Vegas. So there was not really a concept. Yes a new stage but it was not about the courage album at all whereas other tours , like The Taking Chances tour really promoted several songs of the album.

Who cares if she promotes songs from the album. Really. The Vegas show is her life's work and the new one will have a new concept. What do you think it will be called? They obviously can't just call it "Celine."

 

What about..... "Celine Dion: Play Me Like a Love Song" ... a show dedicated to classic love songs from the 70's, 80's, 90's and today?

 

Sounds lame, but what do you really think they are going to do? What can they actually promote? The last Vegas show was supposed to be movie songs (at least it started out that way). There aren't many other themes left.

 

What will she do?

Also, it's much easier to manage a Vegas show wrt: covid vs. an actual tour. The venue gets an intangible benefit from having her headline so it's possible to sell fewer seats within a social distancing scheme if necessary. Who knows, they may be planning bubbles or some other weird s*** to fill seats without using the full capacity.

 

It's better for her and it's a better way to get an audience in front of her. Continuing the tour at this point is dangerous, she has to fulfill her obligations but still ... that's not the best business model moving forward.

 

She has infinite leverage and she can dictate the kind of show she wants. The casino doesn't really have power here. She's bringing the capital.

While I can't speak for the USA, I can assure you that they can't count on Canadian travellers anytime soon. Our border with the USA has been closed for the past 12 months, several provinces, including mine, has closed it's borders even to other provinces unless it's essential travel. I know a lot can happen between now and when the show will most likely start but seems soon to announce something this big when lots have no money due to lost jobs etc.

They can't postpone anything until the government makes a declaration as to whether or not large gatherings will be allowed by then. Nations seem to be hoping to open up but are waiting to see what happens. I wouldn't expect an official announcement on another postponement until 30 days before her next show is schedule to take place.

[couldawouldashoulda]

I'd love it (it will never happen) if she did something like a cabaret where she chooses songs (not necessarily from her own repertoire) that have special meaning for her and use them to tell the story of her life. Something of a biography - although we all know she can talk way too much so it would need to be pretty scripted - and then she can just lip the huge hits that she needs to in a medley or something.

 

Obviously, as I said, I don't think that would ever happen. It certainly wouldn't please the diehards as they want to hear Courage tracks and B-sides/rare songs from her own repertoire. I just like the idea. And she could only do something like that in Vegas - not for a world tour.

[ehild]

Hotel opens in June. Zedd and Tiesto already have tickets on sale for June. And Vegas in general is set to open in June. Even if Celine doesn't have dates in June I'd bet their goal is to open this year if not immediately in June.

 

Personally, if that's the case I probably won't go for opening night. Even though I get my 2nd vaccine this weekend I'd still prefer things to calm down a bit. I'm also hoping the venues will require guests be vaccinated, at least for a little while.

Carrie didn't even mention the new date for the announcement :sofunny:
