You read the headline correctly, international superstar Shania Twain has announced a two-year residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas beginning December 1, 2012. (Yes, 2012, NOT 2011.)

Called SHANIA: STILL THE ONE the show will highlight the singer’s biggest hits. Tickets are available for sale beginning Sunday, June 19, 2011 at 10 a.m. P.T. It’s never too early to plan your ultimate Las Vegas vacation.

Twain is the world’s best selling female country artist of all time and has been absent from the spotlight in recent years but gradually emerging back into the spotlight. She recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, has her memoir “From This Moment On” climbing the New York Times Best Sellers list and her docu-series called “Why Not? With Shania Twain” on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network debuted May 8.

The superstar made quite the impression on June 8 during the 2011 CMT Music Awards. She announced the winner of Male Video of the Year and experienced something most people fear, she fell on her way to the stage! Exhibiting her resilience, she picked herself up, donned a smile and proceeded to the stage.

“This past year has been such an amazing journey and to find myself poised to play at The Colosseum is truly magical,” said Shania. “The Colosseum is an iconic location with unmatched energy, and I’m excited to bring a pop/country spin to the city.  People from all over the world travel to Las Vegas and I’m so thrilled to be able to share my music with a truly global audience.”

Multi-Grammy winner and splashy entertainer Elton John recently signed with The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for a three-year run with his new show, “The Million Dollar Piano.” The first set of 16 shows kicks off September 28. This is the second time Elton John has headlined at Caesars Palace.

“Caesars Palace is just a perfect, idyllic place to play, and the show will be a gargantuan feast of music and imagery,” said Elton John, “I’m going to have a fabulous piano that Yamaha has been working on for four years, and that’s the reason why the show is called ‘The Million Dollar Piano.’”

The singer’s career has spanned more than five decades and he is one of the top-selling solo artists of all time with 20 consecutive Top 40 hits. Worldwide, Elton John has sold more than 250 million records. “Candle in the Wind” holds the record of being the biggest selling single of all time with 37 million copies sold.  Elton John has played more than 3,000 concerts internationally since the start of his career in 1969.

If grooving and singing along to memorable tunes as “Bennie and the Jets”, “Tiny Dancer” and “Rocket Man/I Think It’s Going to Be a Long Long Time” is your thing then attending an Elton John concert is a must. Plan a girlfriends getaway to Las Vegas with your favorite gal pals and incorporate a little Elton into your itinerary. Or, book your seats as part of date night during a Las Vegas vacation. But seriously, do you need an excuse to travel to Las Vegas?

Tickets for the September and October 2011 shows can be purchased through Ticketmaster or by calling The Coessum at 1-888-435-8665. Tickets range in price from $55 to $250 plus applicable fees. After you have your Elton John concert tickets, let Resort Rentals Intl. be your resource for your accommodation needs during your Las Vegas vacation.

A permanent Michael Jackson show by amazing Cirque du Soleil will call Mandalay Bay home in spring of 2013. A creative team for the show has been identified and production has begun to evaluate the transformation of the resort’s theater. In true Cirque style, we’re confident this will be an incredible production. And although we don’t know any of the details, we’re guessing a moonwalk or two will be incorporated along with white beaded gloves.

If you need your fill of the King of Pop before 2013, plan a Las Vegas vacation around Michael Jackson The IMMORTAL World Tour. This opens December 3 at Mandalay Bay for an extended run during its North American tour (December 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14). Complementing the Las Vegas stop is Michael Jackson Fan Fest which is authorized by Jackson’s estate.

Michael Jackson Fan Fest is anticipated to allow fans to view memorabilia, items from Neverland Ranch, photo opportunities on recreated sets from historic Michael Jackson videos, Q&A sessions with members of the creative team from Michael Jackson The IMMORTAL World Tour, and giveaways. Get your dancing feet ready. There will be contests around the UBISOFT video game, “Michael Jackson The Experience.” Yeah, sounds like something every Michael Jackson fan must experience.

Visit www.MichaelJacksonFanFest.com for updates and ticket and session information. Michael Jackson Fan Fest will open 4 hours before Michael Jackson The IMMORTAL World Tour. Book your Las Vegas accommodations soon and get going on practicing your Michael Jackson moves.
