Two Las Vegas NV headline entertainers with breakthrough film projects are about to hit huge & make history.

First is Sir Elton John’s Caesars Palace resident headliner show “The Million Dollar Piano” filmed at the Colosseum. In March, there will be two unprecedented showcase screenings (March 18 & 26) at theaters around the world. In the U.S. alone, 700 movie theaters will show his concert.

“It’s unlike anything I have done before, a complete mix, a showcase of all my music, accompanied by spectacular scenery & attractive video images,” asserted Elton through a spokesman.
