Trip Report 26/09/2006 to 10/10/2006.......Celine Dion.x.x.x

Mrs Whitt says..........

Mr Whitt is at work so for all you guys who wanna here bout Celine here we go.....for the rest of ya who don%26#39;t......go and have a beer or two,I won%26#39;t be offended if you don%26#39;t want to know..........

I was first introduced to Celine by a friend(yeah,yeah,some of you will think what kind of friend would do that) 10 years ago...who insisted I listen to this CD...so I did and was hooked ever since..

I saw her in UK in 98/99 and vowed that wherever she may turn up next I would be there.....

So a couple of years later I met and married Mr Whitt who didn%26#39;t quite know what he was taking on...married to 2 women...me and Celine.......lol.....

Anyway I must first say that I am so glad Celine turned up in Vegas,this is not a destination that was on a list of places that I wanted to visit before my days were done(I would have gone to Mars to see her sing if that was the only place she was at) but my goodness Celine or not this is THE most fantastic place ,full of the nicest people I have ever met.....

Hope I%26#39;m not boring Y%26#39;all.......

I first saw Celine in Vegas in 2003 and booked to see the show once......I realised when I got back that if she had become sick and cancelled the show I would have been mortified...so I guess what I am trying to say is that if you really wanna see this lady and you too would be mortified if she cancelled....book more than 1 night.....you can always sell them on whilst you are there if you decide you don%26#39;t want to use the extras...there seems to be plenty of people trying to get tickets on the night....

This time I saw the show 3 times....twice on the second row and once on the third row....what really annoys me is that it is next to impossible to get front row seats....I am certain this is not Celine%26#39;s decision and they are probably kept back for VIP%26#39;s....in fact one night 2 people on the front row even got up and left to get drinks for all 4 of them in their party.......how rude...not real fans eh....

Celine is amazing,I know.I know...I would say that,but I am honestly convinced that I could take any one of you guys to the show and convert you....yeah of course people have said that she says the same things night in and night out,she does .....but I guess for those who are seeing the show as a one off don%26#39;t realise and for the rest of us who go more than once....WE DON%26#39;T CARE........

To be honest I will be glad when the show finally comes out on DVD...because then for the first time I will beable to see the whole show...up until now my eyes have remained firmly focused on her ,to the point where I have missed most other things on the stage......but the show flows nicely and Celine spends so much time up front close to the audience,it is an intimate experience that shows her voice off to it%26#39;s true potential....

One situation that got up my nose on this visit were the photographers inside the Colosseum....snapping the happy couples or groups of folks who have come to enjoy the show.....how annoying.....and once they have your picture thay try and sell it to you after the show for $120....yeah well that money went to better use...in the Celine shop...lol.....

It%26#39;s hard to give an unbiased review of the show...I would give anything for Celine...to meet her would be amazing....but she truly is one remarkable person and the show all though pricey is worth a look,yeah it%26#39;s a Celine concert in it%26#39;s simplest form....but I guarantee...not one person out there could fail to be moved or amazed that one woman can sound this good...it%26#39;s rare to find anyone that sings and sounds better than on a CD........such talent....

Lol

$120? Really? And there was me thinking the price of photos on rides at amusement parks were bad...

Front row of the first mezz for us in a couple of weeks (at my fiancee%26#39;s behest, not mine). Not sure what the view will be like from there, but we couldn%26#39;t really splash out for the front orchestra seats!

Mrs Whitt, You have the same passion for Celine that my wife has for Cher.

The hotels do save the best seats for VIP%26#39;s. My wife couldn%26#39;t get the first 15 rows online for Cher at the MGM once, but after we registered in a Penthouse, they graciously switched our tickets with row 6 on the floor in the center both nights we were booked. That same time we were also given great seats for Smother%26#39;s Brothers at Harrahs the night of the show.(row 5 I think) Another time I requested box seats for MamaMia and they said only one was left. During the show the other ';box'; seats sat empty. So yeah they save seats.

Quit defending yourself. If people are reading this, then they should be interested in what you have to say. Enjoy your passion. (get help later, LOL-j/k)

Mrs. Whitt -

I%26#39;ll be in Vegas over New Year%26#39;s...do you need a Celine fix cuz I%26#39;ll be happy to go to the Celine Store and get you something!!!!

Am really enjoying your trip report BTW!

Mrs. Whitt, girlfriend and I have tickets for Celine on NYE. She is so excited, as am I since I think she is a fantastic singer. Love your TR; can%26#39;t wait for the next installment!

Great report Mrs Whitt. I have seen Celine twice in Vegas, once in the second row and once first mezz front row. While I liked being up close to really see her I actually enjoyed the whole show more from the mezz. You really get the full effect of the show from there.

Whereas I can truly appreciate your love for Celine, as a Canadian and having had the many years of her songs played 24/7 over the multimedia we are happy she is producing the same live in Las Vegas.

What I am wondering is if Mr. Whitt1 was with you (and how many times before)?

Love the series, please bring on more.

Yeah 2b........Mr Whitt was with me and all though he is not a fan like me he was begging to go back after the third night.....he couldnt get enough of the show.........

You';re going to hate me, but my husband%26#39;s boss knows Celine personally, has been to her penthouse in LV and has even shared their nanny for Celine%26#39;s son and my husband%26#39;s boss%26#39;s grandson. I have never had the desire to see her show (no desire to see any shows actually), but I have heard that she puts on a fantastic one!
