Celine Dion to replace Cher in Vegas

Cher's final curtain on her headline show on the Las Vegas Strip is set for February 5 after about 200 shows.

Officials at the Caesar's Palace hotel-casino said Tuesday that tickets for Cher's final run of shows starting January 11 will go on sale Saturday.

The last show ends a three-year residency for the iconic singer known for over-the-top costumes, elaborate showmanship and hits spanning several decades.

Cher's departure from the 4,300-seat Colosseum theater will come about one month before Celine Dion returns March 15 to start her second engagement. Her first five-year run grossed more than $400 million (Dh1.46 billion).

Cher at the ColosseumÓ features dancers choreographed by Doriana Sanchez and costumes designed by CherÕs longtime designer, Bob Mackie.
