Award-Winning Venue Marks a Decade of World Class Music and Entertainment

History in Las Vegas

Special Events and Community Partnerships Part of

Year-Long 10^th Anniversary Celebration

LAS VEGAS, NV (March 19, 2013)- What do Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Elton John, Rod Stewart and Jerry Seinfeld all have in common besides being among the greatest entertainers in the world? They all grace the stage of the iconic theatre The Colosseum at Caesars Palace as ground-breaking resident artists – forever changing the entertainment landscape in Las Vegas.

In the decade since opening on March 25, 2003 for the premiere of Celine Dion A New Day…, the world-class $95 million venue has hosted more than 1,750 live performances from more than 70 performers for nearly seven million fans; all sitting within 120 feet of the impressive 7,000-square-foot stage. In addition to being the home to award-winning performers (the past and present artists appearing at The Colosseum have a combined 495 Grammy nominations and 126 Grammy awards to their credit), The Colosseum has a notable list of accolades itself, including the Billboard Touring Awards Venue of the Decade in 2010 and eight consecutive Billboard Touring Awards for Top Small Venue.

To mark the 10-year milestone, Celine Dion incorporated a special tribute to The Colosseum in her Saturday, March 16 show. The short video contained taped messages from The Colosseum’s current roster of resident artists Shania Twain, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Jerry Seinfeld and of course Celine herself congratulating The Colosseum on 10 amazing years. The taped messages, combined with photos and videos from unforgettable moments throughout the theatre’s history, made evident the impact the theatre has had not only on music fans across the world, but also on the performers that call the building home.

Earlier in the day on March 16, hundreds of employees of The Colosseum, AEG and Caesars Palace, gathered for a festive afternoon of sharing memories and looking back on fond times. The party was a thank you to staff for their endless support of The Colosseum in reaching the special milestone and was a way for everyone to share in the special day. Since opening in 2003, 62 original employees still call The Colosseum home and all were on hand to mark the anniversary.

Looking to make the celebration continue past March, The Colosseum is commemorating its history by looking to the future. The venue will launch a multi-faceted community partnership in support of Las Vegas Academy (LVA), a public magnet high school dedicated to the performing and visual arts. LVA promotes an interdisciplinary foundation for lifelong learning by motivating, empowering, and challenging students to be academic, artistic, and compassionate individuals.

To kick-off the partnership, The Colosseum, along with resident artist Celine Dion, presented LVA with a check for $40,000. “Music is such a vital part of The Colosseum and in the lives of our residents that there is no better way to celebrate our success than by furthering the music education of the world’s next generation of resident artists,” said John Meglen, president and co-CEO of AEG Live.

The partnership will continue throughout the year, with LVA receiving proceeds from the sale of The Colosseum’s commemorative 10^th Anniversary poster, musical and technology equipment donations, and by The Colosseum offering music education clinics and events tailored to the curriculum of LVA students.

As part of the anniversary celebration, a special micro-website will also be launched at www.thecolosseum.com/10years. The website will house Colosseum trivia, a timeline and chronology of the development of the venue and an exclusive contest sponsored by AXS.com, the new ticket source at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Contest entrants will have the opportunity to win one of 10 great prizes featuring a grand prize package that includes a pair of tickets to any show at The Colosseum, a two-night stay at Caesars Palace, dinner at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace, round-trip airfare for two to Las Vegas and more.

In addition to its ground-breaking resident artists, the venue is marking its rich history by celebrating the incredible list of legendary performances enjoyed over the past decade including such notable names as Bette Midler, Cher, Luis Miguel, Tony Bennett, Bob Dylan, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Rain, Paul Simon, Janet Jackson, Ellen DeGeneres, Mariah Carey, Dave Chappelle, Stevie Nicks, Jamie Foxx, Jeff Dunham, Chris Rock, Kylie Minogue, Ricky Martin and Gloria Estefan among many others.
