Hey guys!

I was just in Vegas from April 28th-May 2nd, and I happened to catch Celine's show on the 29th. We were in Section 3 row JJ Seats 303 and 304...

The venue is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! There is REALLY not a bad seat in the house. Now row JJ, put us at about 9th row, but it felt more like 4th-5th. Everyone in the front orchestra shouldn't worry a bit! Even you Ledgies everywhere else. The last row at the last section is even darn good!

Security was tight, and yes, they do use metal detectors. Put, dont be embarrassed about being caught with a camera...its Vegas, everyone has a camera. They check it in and you get it after the show (worst case scenario).

If you guys have any questions about the venue post it here and ill be happy to answer it

As far as other shows I did which I HIGHLY recommend....we saw Rita Rudner (FUNNIEST WOMAN EVA!!

) She had us on the floor! Plus we saw Cirque du Soleil's "O" (BLEW MY MIND...BEST SHOW I SAW) And we saw Zumanity (The adult version of Cirque Du Soleil....18 and over only. It was so cool, but you leave and all you wanna do is take your significant other to the hotel room and ...you know....tusk!

If you have EXTRA time catch these shows!!!!! They were amazing!!!!!

BTW, We were on the Today show Friday morning and I have pics of matt and katie to post later, but for now....heres a good one of me in front of a stevie poster!

And me and Lauren in front of Harrah's.

Very cool, Alex! You look great in your pics. I soooooo want to see "O" sometime. I'm glad you posted info about the venue. So, now, my 12th row seats will be more like...7th or 8th!!!

Rad!
I have a question - can you blade around?

jkmaletic · #3 05-03-2005, 10:38 PM

Good question! Also, how high would you estimate the stage to be?

Nice pics by the way.

Nope but funny you should mention...cause Stevie's gonna practically have to on that stage! She was not kidding AT ALL when she said the stage was huge. Celine and her dancers have to RUN across the stage...thats how big it is....Plus, I hope Stevie uses flying things like Celine does.....I hope watching Celine's show hasnt risen my expectation levels far beyond what they should be. But Stevie could really make an amazing show if she puts her mind to it...and hires lots of dancers

The stage is at quite an incline....the front is way lower than the back....walking, it took Celline a verse and a chorus of "A new day has come" to reach the front of the stage!!! That should give you an idea of how big it is..

I have a question about the camera. I plan on tearing the lining in one of my purses and putting camera in there. Do you think they will find it with the metal detectors? I just want like 5 good pics. What do you think? And where was all the security standing? Thanks!!!

Actually Celine was pretty good vocally. She sang some of her hits. By far her best 2 songs were "I Surrender" and "To Love You More" She sings the end of TLYM and it blows you away. But, the night we went everyone was clapping at the end cause it was her sons first time seeing her show, so they clapped for like 3 minutes, and the whole time they had her face on the IMAX screens and she was sooo acting to try to cry....I left and I told Lauren "They should've given her a f***ing academy award". But other than that, pretty neat

Was the crowd for Celine very animated? Did they get up and dance at all or just sit there?

Totally misread your question...the sidewalks get pretty packed...leave the blades

Thanks, Alex!!!! The pictures are great!
