Starting with a sexy number -  I Drove All Night - Celine the sellout crowd on their feet straight away.

Although she had a slight mishap - stumbling slightly when she first appeared - probably due to the fact that the fact the stairs were black and the lights were dim - ever the true performer, she recovered well. 

It helped that she looked every inch the star in a short sparkling mini-dress which showed off her long divine legs. 

Celine sang about 20 songs over 1 1/2 hours, with limited interaction with her fans -  a Diva is a Diva after all. Not that her fans minded.

The crowd of 15,000 people included a wide range of ages - a tribute to the French-Canadian singer’s universal appeal.

Her 5 years of almost nightly performances in Vegas at Caesers Palace have sharpened her live performance skills to a deadly point. She is a formidable force to be reckoned with and had the adoring crowd eating out of her hands for the entire night. 

When she thanked them using a Chinese phrase ”Xiexie” - there was a raucous cheer of approval.

Her fantastic dancers were a multicultural mix and included an even mix of males and females.

Celine ended the concert with her Titanic hit, My Heart Will Go On, in an encore that got the whole arena on their feet cheering.

Following the concert, there were after concert parties at Mcsorley’s Ale House and Cafe Deco at The Venetian.

But THE party to be seen at was the after concert party  at The View - a newly opened ultra exclusive swanky VIP club on top of Sands - The Venetian’s sister casino.

Here invited, guests sipped on flutes of Moet and nibbled on canapes while enjoying models sashaying down a catwalk, as well as the amazing view.

It really was an experience not to be missed.
