Franz von Suppé’s Light Cavalry Overture opens the second half, then Alexander Borodin’s exotic Polovetsian Dances, from his unfinished opera, Prince Igor.

David Copperfield
Where: MGM Grand
When: October 9, 2016
A Guinness Book of World Records holder with 21 Emmys and a star on the Hollywood “Walk of Fame,” Copperfield approaches his show with the idea that less is more. From his surprise appearance on the stage at the top of the show to his simple departure at the end, he has an approachable, pleasant attitude that makes the audience feel at ease.
Copperfield’s relationship with magic goes way back. Rewind to 1982, where he started a rehabilitation program, called Project Magic, which helps disabled patients regain lost or damaged dexterity skills in more than 1,000 hospitals internationally. Copperfield has a very tongue-in-cheek type of humour and takes life with a pinch of salt and even pokes fun at himself. To prove his volunteers are randomly chosen, Copperfield flings small Frisbees or large silver beach balls into the audience sometimes, taking whoever catches them up onto the stage.
Sir Elton John: The Million Dollar Piano
Where: Caesars Palace, The Colosseum
When: October 12 – 29, 2016
Legendary singer – songwriter Elton John takes the stage at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum. The show’s called “The Million Dollar Piano” because Elton performs on a Yamaha piano engineered with about 68 LED video screens. While the visual spectacle of Elton’s performance is always enjoyable, it’s the phenomenal music and Elton’s amazing performances that make his show a must-see when in Vegas. Elton is escorted by his band: Davey Johnstone on guitar, Matt Bissonette on bass, John Mahon on percussion, Nigel Olsson on drums and Kim Bullard on keyboards. Percussionist Ray Cooper is scheduled to make a special appearance.
In 1996, Elton was named Commander of the Order of the British Empire and in 1998, the Queen of England knighted him Sir Elton John in acknowledgement of both his contributions to music and his venerable altruistic work. The following year he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In 2004, Elton received the Kennedy Center Honor for his lifetime contributions to American culture and excellence through the performing arts.
With over 50 years of composing hit songs and performing, Elton remains to be one of the most successful acts on the road today. He is one of the top-selling solo artists of all time, with 35 gold and 25 platinum albums, 29 consecutive Top 40 hits and has sold more than 250-million records worldwide. Elton holds the record for the biggest selling single of all time, “Candle in the Wind,” which sold 37-million copies. Since his career began in 1969, he has played almost 3,000 concerts worldwide. Elton is a five-time Grammy award-winner.

Sarah Silverman
Where: MGM Grand, KÀ Theatre
When: October 21, 2016
Comedienne Sarah Silverman is bringing her exaggerated wit and mocking jokes to the Vegas stage. Although somewhat of an acquired taste, she’s the type of comedian that says what everyone else is thinking. Silverman’s biting wit and sarcasm is an unadulterated contrast to her innocent outward appearance. With jokes focusing on controversial issues that are usually delivered from a stereotypical Jewish-American princess point of view, Silverman isn’t for the easily offended.
The Las Vegas Tenors

Combining three of the most dynamic and powerful voices Vegas has to offer, though the term “tenor” is commonly associated with classical music, these vocally versatile men of melody will shatter any preconceived ideas you may have about the notion of what a tenor is. From rock ‘n’ roll to rhythm and blues and more, the Las Vegas Tenors do it all – with the electric energy and pizzazz of the neon lights of Vegas. This is one show you certainly don’t want to miss!
