March 25, 2003 stands as an important date in the history of Las Vegas entertainment. It marked opening night of Celine Dion’s first concert residency, A New Day…, at the new Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Everyone knows that event launched the modern Las Vegas residency model that continues to dominate the live entertainment landscape along the Strip, but it also began a wildly successful 20-years-and-counting run for AEG Presents in Las Vegas.
Over the past two decades, the local office of the live division of LA-based Anschutz Entertainment Group has booked concerts and events at nearly every major venue in town, opened several landmark theaters and showrooms and brought many of the most iconic artists in the world to Las Vegas.
