Benefit concert in Vegas

[ShangriLaTroubl]

this from Taku's board :

"We will play a total of 30 shows in Italy, covering 29 different cities (we hit Rome twice)... I will truly get a sense of every region of the country. I definitely consider this a blessing and a perk of what I do for a living. Don't worry... I don't take any of it for granted! I am really trying to get my Italian together, and I have struck up an agreement with the background singer (Roberta GranÃ*, one of the top singers in the country who also sings with the two other biggest artists from Italy... Eros Ramazotti and Laura Pausini)... I help her with her English and she teaches me Italian!

Also, I get to partake in some of the best food and wine in the world. It's definitely an amazing experience.

It is definitely a bummer that I have had to miss performances with both Bette Midler (on the Today Show, Late Night with David Letterman, and the Martha Stewart Show) as well as an upcoming benefit concert in Vegas with Stevie Nicks, but I am definitely having a blast. "

Nope.


I hope it's around New Years (if this is true)....I have a whole ten days off! :woohoo:

[DavidMn]

Nope.


I hope it's around New Years (if this is true)....I have a whole ten days off! :woohoo:God I remember the millenium show in Vegas in '99. WHAT A FU**IN parrrtaaaayyy that was...:woohoo:

that's what I'm afraid of!!!

[Richard B]

God I remember the millenium show in Vegas in '99. WHAT A FU**IN parrrtaaaayyy that was...:woohoo:
This is random but I won 2 free tickets to see the '99 Millenium show at HOB in Vegas.

Would you believe I didn't go? I am not fond of Vegas. It's the tackiest **** hole.

[DavidMn]

that's what I'm afraid of!!!I forgot, did you go in May or August?

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Hmmm.... I would be very tempted to hot foot it out there if she plays Vegas again...

[DavidMn]

Hmmm.... I would be very tempted to hot foot it out there if she plays Vegas again...You probably have some good direct flights from over there I'm sure, right?

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

You probably have some good direct flights from over there I'm sure, right?
When I came out in 2001 I flew via San Francisco on the way out and LA on the way back. I would probably fly direct next time though. It was quite pricey though..

PipI'm sure it was. I remember at the milennium show in '99 I saw ALOT of people from overseas.

Whoever posted this info, thanks! :)

I'd definitely be down for another Vegas trip, but ONLY if:

1. Stevie does her own show (not a part of a show with other performers)
2. The tickets aren't absolutely CRAZY money. Vegas, as you all know, can be ridiculous with concert prices, let alone a benefit show. :rolleyes:

I went to the Saturday show in May and loved every second of my time in Vegas. I went horseback riding that Sunday in the desert and had a good time. I would love to live in Vegas actually.

[STEVEHEDRICK]

I love vegas ! go there all the time and guess what Stevie loves the city too!
you must be uptight not to love this city! bring her back!

[gldstwmn]

I hope it's around New Years (if this is true)....

Vegas is probably already completely booked for New Year's though and what's available will be wildy expensive.

I just LOVE the way this guy leaks huge bombshells like this
as if he were giving the time and temperature.
It's like, "OH and I almost forgot, Stevie's doing a Benefit show in Vegas."
And - YAAAAAAYYY! :laugh: :shocked: :thumbsup:

:laugh:
exactly! Well put! Taku's a bit of a tease, isn't he? He's always on with the info though. I hope it happens, and I PRAY the tickets aren't too expensive. Vegas is only a 45 minute $75 round trip plane ride for me, plus I can stay with a friend, so that would be covered. It's just those STEEEP ticket prices... ( I'm hoping they won't be over $300 each...)

[Livia]

I've still got a SW rapid reward ticket to burn...:p

[danax6]

Hmmm.... I would be very tempted to hot foot it out there if she plays Vegas again...Hm, if it's true, I really need a date soon. This would be a lot cheaper than flying to Oz, so I might consider it. I just have to figure out a way to tell my boss I need some time off to see Stevie Nicks in Vegas. Maybe it's time I come out of the closet. ;)

Btw, direct flights are usually always more expensive. My sister flew to Vegas last August (and the biatch didn't even want to go to the August 6 Stevie show just for me to take pictures - I really wasn't feeling the sisterly love back then, believe me) and in order to make it affordable, she flew from Brussels to Washington DC to San Fransisco and then Vegas. But it was an El Cheapo flight for sure.

Same here, and I will add:

3. it is a charity I am willing to give a bunch of money to.

Somehow, the way Taku wrote it, it seems like it's a benefit show with a lot of performers, including Stevie.

i love vegas too, & my ma does live there, real close to the strip, so that is always a bonus when i go there, i don't have to look or pay for a hotel!!!~

[Karlie]

This is exciting. I love Vegas! I've only been there twice, for the May 14 and August 6 shows. :)

[UnwindedDreams]

I asked this question already but no one answererd: for the outside entertainment board outside of caesars did they use stevie nicks dreams for the poster with the video for the show in august or did they keep celine?

Stevie was up...with video.

[UnwindedDreams]

Stevie was up...with video.What did the video say stevie is returning to vegas...are you sure?

[ontheEdgeof17]

It was the one that showed most of her music videos as a montage.

They played it inside every 2 minutes.

I loved that thing. Everytime it came on when I was outside near the big sign or inside I would like break out in "JUST LIKE THE WHITE WINGED DOVE.." haha fun times. I love Vegas.

[WelshWitchPMD]

Great, I just found out today that Southwest is starting a new non-stop service to Vegas from Providence. New Years is on a 3 day weekend but I still don't know about that job yet so my hands are tied at this point.
I would love to but I don't think so and I can just imagine the hotel prices are through the roof.

[tuigirl]

Just out of curiosity...who's Taku playing with in Italy? Hope he has a fab time!

[GypsyAsh]

Still no date?
and I thought you guys knew everything....:)

A trip to Vegas sounds like a good stocking stuffer from my parents...I've been a pretty good daughter this year....I think. :rolleyes:


anyone wanna go for drinks in Vegas?! woo! :]


ciao!

I got a roundtrip from Minneapolis to Vegas on United with a change in Denver foir $240

Just out of curiosity...who's Taku playing with in Italy? Hope he has a fab time!

He is backing an Italian singer named Giorgia.

Can't wait for more details about this Vegas benefit. I hope it is a Stevie thing and not a big multi-artist benefit, though depending on who else is there I guess that could be cool too. I wonder what the cause is.

[Livia]

Well, that's the ARIZONA Heart Institute. I don't see Stevie any sort of benefit for them in Vegas. :shrug:

[Highwayman]

When is Taku going to be in Italy? My guess is early next year. The benefit Vegas show will be a warm-up to the Aussie tour...???

Taku is already in Italy. www.takuhirano.com. The dates and stuff are there.

I didn't realize he was playing with Giorgia, she's a fantastic singer. I saw her performance at the tv show in the calendar but didn't notice him. Anyway now I have a reason more to go to see her in concert.

Celine and Elton are off most of December....Dare I dream????

Really? I meant to check that. Good research work Stephanie! Let's hope it's another Caesar's gig! :blob2:

Doesn't look too good for December. Stevie has said she doesn't want to be away from family at Christmas in the past. Check Ticketmaster:

Yeah but it could be somewhere other than Ceasar's Palace

Looks like there are plenty of open slots... 12/4 to 12/10, 12/11 to 12/17, 12/18 to 12/25 (if it is even going to be at Caesar's). If it's a benefit, it would just be one day so she wouldn't have to be away from her family too long. Vegas is so close she could easily fly in and out for rehearsals. It's only like a half hour plane ride.

I'm guessing it would have to take place sometime in December since Taku said he would have to miss it due to his commitment to the Giorgia tour (which, according to his website, only goes til 12/31.)

:laugh:

I said in the gargyle thread that if God was one of your trigger words, you probably died from alcohol poisoning a few minutes into the show. Good to know you made it through. :laugh:

[Livia]

Taku posted on his message board that he doesn't know what sort of benefit it is, or when it is. Since he's not available for it, he's no longer on the key peoples' email list.

[Rickypt]

Arrgh, doesn't anyone have the scoop on this benefit? I'm dying to know if it's a full Stevie show.
