Las Vegas offers hotel accommodations, food and beverage outlets, retail shopping, entertainment venues, extensive convention and meeting facilities and increasing residential components.
Known historically for its gaming experience, the Las Vegas landscape has changed considerably over the past decade with the opening of destination mega-resorts including The Venetian, Wynn Las Vegas, Bellagio, and Mandalay Bay. The effect of these openings has been to broaden Las Vegas' traditional market by appealing to a new customer base consisting of leisure tourists interested not only in gaming but dining, entertainment, shopping and other lifestyle experience as well.
Las Vegas is the largest gaming market in the world and one of the fastest growing leisure, lodging and entertainment markets in the country. According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the number of visitors traveling to Las Vegas has continued to increase at a steady and significant rate from approximately 23.5 million in 1993, to a record 38.2 million in the twelve months ending August 31, 2005.

Of the total visits, 6.3 million or 16.4% were convention delegates visiting Las Vegas, making Las Vegas the fastest growing convention market in the country.
The Las Vegas metropolitan area has undergone a tremendous transformation during the last decade from a gaming destination to a mainstream city. While national employment growth remained relatively flat, the continued expansion of the gaming and tourism sectors has increased the need for service employees resulting in 38,100 new jobs in Las Vegas for the 8 months ending August 31, 2005. Job creation has been a major factor in the dramatic growth in the population of Las Vegas - making Las Vegas the fastest growing urban area in the US.

*******************************************************************************BARRY MANILO WILL MESMERIZE YOU, THIS IS A MUST SEE SHOW! Manilow’s show, which runs two weeks every month, has been a smash hit with fans and critics since it opened at the hotel in 2005. A taping of the 100th performance of the show for a PBS special even won an Emmy Award in 2006. Prior to 2005, Manilow had decided to stop touring. Then, an offer to do a steady gig in Las Vegas. It was a deal he couldn’t refuse and he joined the growing list of headliners who have made Las Vegas their home away from home. Manilow is also following in the footsteps of Elvis, who performed regularly in Las Vegas for eight years. Manilow recently revamped his show with new costumes and sets, new numbers and a fitting new moniker, “ULTIMATE MANILOW: The Hits.” “I’m going to try and squeeze in as many of the hits as I’ve been fortunate enough to have over the years,” the singer promises at the beginning of the show. Where his previous show, titled “Manilow: Music and Passion,” took audiences on a journey through popular music of the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s, “ULTIMATE MANILOW: The Hits” is more like a concert experience, with Manilow singing all of his familiar and most beloved songs like “It’s a Miracle,” “Daybreak,” “Weekend in New England” and “Bandstand Boogie.” Manilow doesn’t completely ignore hits from the other eras in his new show – they are now condensed into a medley of songs. This includes his renditions of songs from the ’50s that brought him major success on the record charts. His album, “The Greatest Songs of the Fifties,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in 2006. It was the first time since 1977’s “Live” that Manilow had debuted at No. 1. “I never thought that I’d be back on top of the charts. I felt like Hannah Montana or something,” Manilow jokes. He then switches into what he dubs ’70s ballad mode, performing many of his popular songs from that decade including “Looks Like We Made It,” “Tryin’ to Get The Feeling Again” and “Even Now.” “ULTIMATE MANILOW: The Hits” is not all about ballads and love songs though. The show switches tempo with the upbeat “New York City Rhythm,” which features Manilow and his keyboard players taking turns trying to outdo each other with ivory-tickling piano solos. Manilow is comfortable in front of an audience and the personable entertainer maintains a good rapport with them throughout the show. He gets close enough to shake hands with some and even slow dances on stage with one lucky fan. He’s also not afraid to share personal stories with the audience. “Singing these songs brings back memories,” Manilow says, while describing singing for his grandfather and his life growing up in Brooklyn before launching into “I Made It Through the Rain” and “Can’t Smile Without You.” Although Manilow’s voice and many familiar songs are the stars of the show, “ULTIMATE MANILOW: The Hits” is more than just singing. Manilow injects humor into his act as he constantly banters and jokes with the audience. One of the most energetic performances is a song, “Could it Be Magic,” that Manilow (tongue firmly in cheek) says is from his first album “recorded back in 1821.” The song was originally a ballad that Donna Summer turned into a disco hit and it’s the disco version that Manilow performs. The entire crowd is on their feet dancing to the lively number and at the end, Manilow proclaims “I’m still a sex god! … But now this sex god has got to sit down.” He doesn’t sit down for long though. The moment everyone is waiting for, “Copacabana (At The Copa),” comes complete with lasers, confetti and singers in showgirl headpieces and leaves audiences dancing in the aisles once again. During the number, a catwalk enables Manilow to wander out into the audience and get closer to those in the balcony seats. It also gives him a chance to prove he still has his old dance moves. One of the final highlights of the show features classic footage of Manilow singing his first big hit, “Mandy” on “The Midnight Special,” a weekly musical television series from the ’70s and early ’80s. Manilow sings part of the song live on stage and then it turns into a show-stopping duet between him and his younger self, showcased in footage from the show. The production is the perfect mix of Manilow’s classic hits and he has such an impressive catalog of songs that the material changes every night. As fans exit the theater, they’ll also hear a newer song, “Here’s to Las Vegas,” which Manilow wrote just for the show. Whether you’re a lifelong “fanilow” or you just fondly remember many of the hit songs that Manilow has had over his illustrious career, his show “ULTIMATE MANILOW: The Hits” can be summed up by the title of one of those songs: “This One’s for You.” Q& A with Barry Manilow With worldwide sales of more than 75 million records, there’s no denying that Barry Manilow truly does write the songs the whole world sings. His musical journey began at the age of seven when he took accordion lessons and learned to play the piano. By the time he was a teenager, Manilow knew music would be his career path and he attended New York College of Music and the Julliard School of Music. Manilow became musical director for a CBS show named “Callback,” which led to a very successful career writing advertising jingles. If you can hum the advertising tunes for companies like State Farm Insurance, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pepsi and the McDonald’s “You Deserve a Break Today” campaign, you have Manilow to thank for it. His big break came in 1971, when he met Bette Midler and became her music director, arranger and pianist. The following year, he signed a record deal of his own and in 1975, Manilow scored his first No. 1 hit song, “Mandy.” Manilow had 25 consecutive Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1975 and 1983 including the familiar songs “It’s A Miracle,” “I Write the Songs,” “This One’s For You,” “Weekend In New England,” “Looks Like We Made It,” “Can’t Smile Without You,” and the Grammy Award-winning “Copacabana (At the Copa).” In 2005 Manilow recorded a collection of tunes from the 1950s with producer Clive Davis. The resulting “Greatest Songs of the Fifties” became a surprise hit and brought Manilow back to the top of the charts. Also in 2005, Manilow premiered his show at the Las Vegas Hilton. Now in its third year, the show continues to wow critics and fans in Vegas. Q: You have an all-new production at the Paris Hotel and Casino. What made you want to change the show? A: “‘Music and Passion’ was tremendously successful, but my co-creators and I kept seeing things that we wanted to make better and there was never enough time to do them. Since we had the summer off, we all decided to dive in and make the show more exciting, more beautiful and with more hits than ever.” Q: In your new show, you sing a lot of your greatest hits. How did you select which ones to sing? And will that line-up of songs change each night? A: “We’ve rehearsed all 40 of them. We can do any one of them in different places every show.” Q: You’re headlining in a very famous room – the same one that Elvis called home. What is that like? Were you an Elvis fan? A: “Now and again I get a shock of realization that I’m standing on the same stage that he stood on; that I’m dressing in the same dressing room he used. Sometimes I get an irresistible urge to wiggle my hips, but you’ll be glad to know that so far I have resisted that urge.” Q: Your show is very physical – there’s a lot of dancing and moving around the stage. How do you stay so energetic? A: “It’s easy. The power that comes from the music and the excitement I feel from the audience.” Q: You have a lot of very dedicated fans. What’s your most memorable fan encounter? A: “A mother once told me that her child had learned to speak by listening to my records.” Q: You’ve written literally hundreds of songs over the years. Do you have a favorite? A: “My favorite song changes every week or so. This week it’s ‘Could It Be Magic?,’ the song I wrote based on the Chopin Prelude in C minor.” Q: Did you play Vegas a lot when you were starting out? How has it changed since then? A: “We would play a hotel now and again on early tours. Even though I was told that the audiences would be drunk, eating, talking, heckling…I never got that kind of audience. I always had a great time in Vegas. Still do. There are loads of production shows in Vegas now, but I’ve got my own little piece of the town – a guy in front of a band and in front of a beautiful set singing his heart out. That’s just fine with me. I’m a grateful guy that I’ve still got an audience that is interested in hearing my music.” Q: You have a charitable foundation, the Manilow Fund, which among other things, gives money for music scholarships. What inspired you to create that and what do you hope to accomplish with it? A: “I’ve been blessed with a lot. I wanted to give back. The goal of my fund is to give assistance to organizations and people that are under the radar. My fund aims at small town charities that are recommended by my fans. There’s nothing more heartwarming than surprising a small town charity with a thousand dollar check out of the blue that pays their rent for the next three months.” Q: You have been nominated for Grammys, Emmys, Tonys – is there one award that means the most to you? A: “I was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame a few years ago. It meant a great deal.” Q: You once worked in the mailroom at CBS. Did you ever have any other odd jobs? A: “I was a helper on a beer truck in Brooklyn when I was a teenager. I was AWFUL! The drivers would moan when they realized that I was their helper for the day. After that summer, I knew I was cut out for better things!” ***************************************************************************************** CHER AT CEASARS COLLISOM !
CHER WILL ENTERTAIN YOU AND HEVE YOU DANCING IN THE ISLES! Fans expect to see outrageous costumes, over-the-top sets and flamboyant production numbers when they attend a Cher concert and she delivers nothing less in her 90-minute spectacle at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The show, simply titled Cher, is a parade of hits from across the prolific singers four-decade career, combined with innovative staging, stunning Bob Mackie-designed costumes and choreography by Doriana Sanchez. Cher's phenomenal career has spanned 40 years, making her one of the most popular female artists in music history. She has sold more than 100 million records worldwide since her debut as a solo artist in 1964. The singer is no stranger to the Strip. She and her late ex-husband Sonny Bono first played the Flamingo as Pat Boone's opening act in 1969. The duo played the Sahara during the '70s and Cher frequently played Caesars Palace as a solo artist from 1979 to 1982. That makes her current show a sort of a homecoming at Caesars Palace and you know its going to be larger than life when the star, decked out in a dazzling gold costume, makes her entrance, descending from 40 feet above the audience and onto the stage in what she calls her Flying Wallenda, Evel Knievel death-mobile." Cher begins the night with a monologue reminiscent of those she used to perform on The Sonny & Cher Show before launching into fan favorite I Found Someone and a cover of Pat Benatars Love is a Battlefield. It soon becomes obvious how Mackie got his nickname, the Sultan of Sequins, as different dazzling costumes and wigs are revealed with almost every number. Between Cher and her dancers, there are 140 costume changes during the show and Cher switches outfits in less than two minutes with the help of four assistants. In between all of those changes, the audience is treated to rare vintage performance footage of Sonny and Cher, clips from their popular TV shows and film clips from Chers acting career projected on the Colosseums mammoth 34-foot-tall, 109-foot-wide, high- definition LED screen. One of the highlights of the show comes with the hit song The Beat Goes On. The number evokes the '60s with mod black-and-white sets and costumes, accompanied by black-and-white clips and photos of Sonny and Cher. Next, Cher takes the audience on a trip through her closet, which she describes as the Grand Canyon with clothes in it. The first outfit she appears in, while singing Half Breed, is a Native American-inspired costume, complete with a full headdress. She and her dancers then switch to colorful gypsy costumes for Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves. Its on to the '70s and the disco ball isnt the only thing lighting up the stage so is Chers costume as she sings a cover of Dont Leave Me This Way and a duet of I Got You Babe accompanied by video of Sonny. Throughout the show Cher is joined on stage by a five-piece band and a cast of 18 talented dancers and aerialists. Her keyboard player even joins her for the duet After All, which Cher originally sang with Peter Cetera. Longtime fans of the singer wont be disappointed as the show draws to a close with some of her biggest hits like The Shoop Shoop Song (Its in His Kiss), Strong Enough and If I Could Turn Back Time, complete with the infamous black leather and mesh outfit and sailor hat. Chers mega-hit Believe is reserved for the encore and youll leave the show believing in this pop divas star power. THE SHOWGIRLS OF JUBILEE! Jubilee is one of the longest running shows in Vegas.
