Céline Dion's Best Looks

Since 2003, Dion has performed 1,089 shows for 4.5 million fans at The Colosseum. Her first residency, A New Day..., played 717 shows from 2003 through 2007. "What an extraordinary part of our lives these shows have been. Céline took such a leap of faith, made such a big bet on Las Vegas when she decided to perform A New Day... all those years ago. And look what she's done: She has changed the landscape of entertainment in Las Vegas," John Meglen, co-CEO of Concerts West/AEG Presents, said. "What she started, as a crazy idea that didn't make sense to a lot of people, has now become the norm. Now everyone wants to perform a residency in Las Vegas! All of us have Céline to thank for really making Las Vegas the entertainment capital of the world." Mark Frissora, President and CEO of Caesars Entertainment, also told E! News, "Céline is ingrained within the legacy of Caesars Palace and it has been a tremendous honor to be a permanent home to one of the most legendary music icons for over 15 years."
