  • Context

    • Prized for its proximity to the public, technical equipment, and acoustics qualities, the Colosseum has hosted many world-renowned artists, including Céline Dion, who opened this hall in 2003.
    • With 16 years of intense activity that have seen Cher, Bette Midler, Elton John and Rod Stewart, to name a few, Caesars Entertainment decided at the end of 2018 to renovate and modernize the Colosseum once Celine Dion's residency was completed in July 2019.
    • The objective: complete the renovation and technical upgrading work within a timeframe of only seven (7) weeks.

  • VIP experience

    • A new design has been created for the existing VIP section at orchestra level and the existing seats have been modernized.
    • A brand-new VIP section with bottle service is added at the foot of the stage for greater proximity with the artists. Located on a new stage lift, this section can offer a sitting experience, on ultra-comfortable seats, or a standing experience in the heart of the action.

  • New stage lift

    • The front part of the orchestra – which is also the new VIP area – now features a stage lift that allows the level of this section to vary, thus offering a sitting or flat floor configuration.
    • Loading Capacity: 183,000 lbs static/61,000 lbs live.

  • Stage equipment

    • Sound, lighting and video systems have all been upgraded or replaced by state-of-the-art equipment.
    • A new 5.5 mm LED screen measuring 110'-0'' X 36'-0''replaces the original display and doubles the resolution, thus improving the transmission of stage performances.
Large red benches are installed in the VIP section.

The VIP section has large banquettes.

Behind the red seats on the balcony level, you can see the roman mural.

The VIP sections of the orchestra level have been redesigned to preserve the intimacy and proximity to the performing artists the venue is known for.
