From Wired Magazine, "To cut it in the cutthroat world of today's Las Vegas strip, syrupy Canadian chanteuse Celine Dion needs all the help she can get.

For her show, A New Day, due to start a three-year run on Tuesday, Dion has called in some heavy artillery. That includes Franco Dragone, the mastermind behind Cirque du Soleil, and 54 dancers who swirl around her in a series of very loosely strung-together production numbers.

It also includes an impressive spread of technological wizardry. Among the contraptions at her new Colosseum theater at Caesars Palace, where the shows will take place, is a colossal LED screen that can display backdrops ranging from the moon to New York's Times Square, a vast ethernet network controlling thousands of lights on stage, and a giant humidifier designed to protect Dion's voice from the dry desert air.

It's all designed to help fill 4,100 seats a night, five nights a week, 40 weeks a year, at prices ranging from $87.50 to $200."
