With just one weeks to go, plans for Elton John's headline gig at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vages are in perfect harmony.

In fact, Elton himself was seen at the Caesars stage last week with show producer David LaChappelle before leaving for Los Angeles to attend the Golden Globes. "As the date gets closer, I am more and more excited," Elton said through his New York-based spokeswoman.

"Things are moving along exactly as planned," a Las Vegas source close to LaChappelle, a world-renowned fashion photographer and video producer, revealed. "We are in there during the day and then Celine comes in and does her thing at night. Elton's piano will be just left of center stage, facing house right. David is now editing video to be shown on the big screen in the back. And he's still experimenting with lights and some props, and working with Elton on a song list, his outfits and pacing for the whole thing."

"When the lights go down and the curtain goes up, Las Vegas is going to see one hell of a show," the source said. The opening-night performance on February 13, 2004 sold out quickly. Some individual tickets remain for weekend shows, and there is wider availability, but limited selection, for future dates.

Pamela Anderson revealed that she taped a video to be used as a backdrop during "The Bitch Is Back". She portrays a pole dancer.

Elton plays Vegas from February 13 through February 22, 2004, and again from March 23 to April 3, 2004. He will also play seven more Caesars shows this year and has 25 shows scheduled at Caesars in each of 2005 and 2006. See Tour News for more details.
