Lilith Fair, the popular female music festival, hasn’t toured since 1999, a fact which has made is quite difficult to regain its momentum in its first year touring since then. It has been plagued with misfortune since the get-go, with artists cancelling and ticket prices dropping. Las Vegas even had to scale down its event venue, downgrading it from the Mandalay Events Centre to the Mandalay Bay Beach.

Due to all of these unfortunate circumstances, several artists were forced to drop out before the Las Vegas tour date. So, Vegas tourists and residents missed out on an opportunity to see Marina and the Diamonds, Emmylou Harris and Queen Latifah.

However, despite all of these shortcomings, the event was a success. There was a fair turnout for both the mainstage and the second stage events, and the audience was enthusiastic for all of the performances. Although only three main stage acts remained - The Bangles, Sarah McLaughlin and Miranda Lambert – a good time was had by all, and the festival founds are hopeful that upcoming tours will be well-received.

We believe that that they should chalk it up to unfortunate circumstances. A festival that hasn’t toured in ten years is likely to experience some setbacks during their comeback performance, and we believe that next year’s event will be less of a mess.

Las Vegas-based painting Martin Kreloff is creating quite the buzz in America’s fine art scene. His Hollywood-inspired pieces have art lovers all over the country lining up to see and buy his work.

His first ever solo show is called Stars and Sumos and premiered yesterday at the Laura Henkel Fine Art Gallery. Already, various newspapers in the city like the Las Vegas Sun are reporting about the show, lauding its innovative and unique style.

There, he developed a minimalist style before heading to Los Angeles, where he worked as a designer and portrait artist. Finally he moved on to Las Vegas, where he currently resides.

Krelhoff was obviously inspired by other pop artists like Andy Warhol and Al Hirshfeld, but with some obvious post modern twists. As part of the show, Krelhoffs displays paintings of sumo wrestlers and Hollywood stars, two of current obsession. Krelhoff notes that his love for movies dates back to his childhood and his celebration of the Japanese culture is a recent but passionate hobby.

Lights, glitz and glamour!! That is what most Las Vegas shows are about and when you are visiting Las Vegas a staple to your trip is likely some live entertainment in the form of a show or a concert. Well if you are planning a trip to the city of lights sometime before April, one show that most will recommend and a concert that is sure to please would be “The Red Piano” performed entirely by Elton John.

While this concert is full of all time favourites from Elton and classics that are sure to touch anyone’s hearts it also aims (and does a heck of a job) at entertaining the whole audience.

The show features some tasteful props as well as a stage that is changing constantly throughout the entire performance while Elton is almost always sitting in front of his very red piano performing to his hearts delight.

Those that enjoy an encore performance when they request it will often get their request as Elton John is known not to close the show without leaving the room wanting more.

The show is set to close in April of this year and has been held at Caesars Palace for several years running. The last show is nearly sold out as fans from throughout the globe will be there to cheer for the red piano one last time.

There is no exact news of whom will be replacing Elton but it is sure to be a tough act to follow.

The Elton John concert entitled “The Red Piano” will be going on the Las Vegas stage for the last time this coming April. The exact date of the last show will be April 22nd 2009. Elton John will be performing his concert for the last time as he has not resigned with Caesars Palace.

The Red Piano show began in February of 2004 and has been a hit show ever since its first stage performance. The show was originally scheduled for just seventy five performances in total. Elton John had resigned the deal and extended it on by way over the 75 original shows.

The total amount of shows that will occur once the last show goes on stage will be just under 250. The show has been a hit with Elton John fans all throughout the world. People have travelled far and wide to come visit Vegas and attend the musical like concert.

Caesars Palace reports that there is currently no exact plans of a replacement for the show and although they are in the process of searching for one. It is unclear of what or who is being targeted to be the next performance but the hotel promises to reveal who will be booked into the spot once that is determined and confirmed.

Elton John representatives report that he does not plan to book any other long term engagements and will likely take a least a year off of any recording or concert booking. To get tickets and catch him while he is still in concert please visit the ticket office or contact the hotel directly.
