I just hope that she continues this tour into Europe later in the year, but I very much doubt she will...

To assume anything else is wildly unfounded speculation, IMO. That's not to say that there might be some west coast dates in the fall (who knows), but these two announced dates give no indication to that happening.

This is true...

This is why many people plant themselves in Vegas, the money pours in and there's no travel.

Especially when they play connecticut the casinos can accompadate the artists especially in connecticut where we don't have a ritz carlton that would accomadate them but the casino can do that usually if they play connecticut and its not the casinos they stay in New York or Boston. To Me its all good where ever they play just glad she is playing a show in CT will take the day of the show off and and the day after off from work that day. cant wait. the twitter page is the venues official twitter page so they just go the news so its good to give us heads up on the shows and plan.

I'm sure it will be. It's not like it's the county fair or something (although that may be next).

Yes me too.I love to see her come to the Toyota Oakdale Theatre Here in Wallingford CT.This place was here all my life.I can beat the traffic by walking to this venue.

Also This is great she coming here,I've never seen a show at the MGM yet.Let see if the security are ballbusters like Mohegan Sun's are.

You're right and the tickets are cheaper!

From a fans point of view that would be great, and there's definitely enough of those venues around the US to keep her going forever, but unless she's forced to because she can't sell the larger venues, why would she. She'd have to play 3 times as many shows to generate enough revenue to fit her lifestyle. She'd be on the road for far longer periods of time... I think it would knock her out to keep that sort of pace and with Stevie's stamina I'm not sure she could do it unless her show was really tamed down and relaxed. With casino dates, I'm guessing she still pulls in a decent pay cheque, doesn't have to play all that many shows in a run and the venues are smaller, so it's kind of a meeting in the middle.

To be fair, the two main, good-sized indoor venues in Connecticut are within the casino complexes. Mohegan Sun is preferable, imo, but the MGM at Foxwoods is gaining steam since opening last year. Sure, there's the Oakdale, but that place is a barn and hardly ANYONE plays there, where most major acts hit Mohegan or Foxwoods on their tours. So it's not like she's playing a casino for the sake of playing a casino, it's where the venue is. It's not like she's playing the Wolf Den (and hell, some awesome people HAVE, so even if she was...).
