Bette Midler Las Vegas

Bette Midler Las Vegas has a 2 year contract at Caesar's Palace to perform her new show, The Showgirl Must Go On, in the Colosseum. She is packing the 4,300 seat theater every night. Famous for her quick wit and brash humor, audiences will not be disappointed with her spectacular Vegas themed show.

The start of the sensuous pink fan dance in this photo at Bette Midler's Las Vegas show opening night in the Colosseum on the stage where Celine Dion once played. Bette is attached to huge headress and all the dancers are hidden as this number begins.

In this photo, Bette Midler has detached from the huge pink headress and stands in the front of her dancers in her new show in Las Vegas, The Showgirl Must Go On.

The Divine Miss M is known to audiences as a 4 time Grammy Award winner for her songs, Wind Beneath my Wings, The Rose and From a Distance. She received a special Tony Award for her Broadway role in Clams on the Half Shell Revue.

Bette has a long history in films for her roles in For the Boys (Academy Award nomination), Hocus Pocus, The Stepford Wives, The First Wives Club, Gypsy and many more. She has made numerous appearances on TV including The Tonight Show, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, The Simpsons, Seinfeld and her own sitcom, Bette.

The 14 piece band is always onstage. And behind the band, one can see the large screen used to such great effect in Bette's stunning show.

Bette Midler Las Vegas has inherited the stage that was built for Celine Dion. It has the largest led screen ever built in a theater and Bette puts it to much better use than Celine and Cirque du Soleil ever did. A tornado is created on screen that literally deposits Miss M on stage.

Later, using the huge screen to great effect, Bette sings with Elvis who is 'King in heaven' and larger than life on the big screen. Elvis is well used as a character rather then just a decoration by Bette's quick wit and repartee. Every seat in the house is a good seat whether you are sitting in the orchestra or the peanut gallery. Check the sponsors on this page for great deals on tickets.

Siegfried of Siegfried and Roy with Kiki Kalor is seen in this photo at Bette Midler opening night in Las Vegas. Many many stars and entertainers were on hand for the opening.

Bette Midler in Las Vegas right after her opening night show in the photo. The crowd went nuts for her. She is so lovable. And puts on the best show in Vegas.

Bette gives you a live, friendly experience. Instead of putting her 14 musicians under the stage or in the basement watching TV monitors like they do in "Cirque du Soleil" productions, the musicians are on stage accompanying her every move and song and also serve to fill up the vast structure.

Choreographer Toni Basil set her creative ideas on 20 female dancers who compliment Ms. Midler. Bette Midler Las Vegas calls her dancers 'Caesar Salad' and tells them to go toss themselves at the end of a dance number and not to put on too much dressing. 'A little will do.'

Photo taken right after show on opening night of Bette Midler in Las Vegas with Kiki Kalor. Bette came walking out of the theater opening night after her first great show. Celine Dion would never let anyone touch her or even get near her.

Bette's show stopper is a group number featuring her well-known character: Delores Delago, the wheelchair mermaid. Delores is magnified 20 fold when every dancer performs becomes a wheelchair mermaid and re-creates famous kaleidoscope formations so reminiscent of Busby Berkeley. Bette also has a trio of sidekicks she calls the Harlettes that sing, dance and interact with Miss M throughout the antics-filled show.

The "Bette Midler Show" can be seen Tuesday through Sunday but is dark on Monday and Thursday. Show time is 7:30pm. Check this page for ticket prices. When you are ready to see a great Vegas show and entertainer go see Bette Midler Las Vegas.
