| Last summer, a special promotion was held to
commemorate the sale of the one-millionth ticket to A New
Day... Amanda from Minnesota
was the lucky
person who purchased the one-millionth ticket and she and her guest enjoyed a "Live
Like A Millionaire" luxury package. Here's her account
of the fantastic trip including a meeting with Celine!
My incredible adventure began in August by purchasing
tickets over the internet for a friend and myself to see Celine’s
show, A New Day… Later that evening,
I received a call from a PR Manager who explained that I had
just purchased the one millionth ticket to A New Day… At
the time I was not aware of the “Live Like A Millionaire
for a Weekend” contest and all that it involved. I
went from total disbelief to such excitement and anticipation. I
was actually going to meet Celine Dion and enjoy a prize package
beyond my wildest dreams!!
Representatives from Celine’s show and a camera crew flew
to Minnesota to personally present the “Live Like A Millionaire” prize
package. A month later is was finally time for my husband
Jim, friends Lynn, Mark and me to leave for Las Vegas and begin
our trip of a lifetime.
A limo was waiting at the airport to escort us to Caesars Palace.
Upon arrival we were greeted by Caesar himself, Cleopatra and
a camera crew. We certainly felt like celebrities! We
were then escorted to our magnificent suite where a personalized
plaque commemorating Celine’s One Millionth Guest was waiting
along with a welcoming message from Mark Juliano, president of
Caesars Palace.
We spent the day enjoying Caesars Palace hospitality including
the pool, unlimited spa services and $5000.00 worth of gaming
chips at the casino! We were treated to an incredible dinner
at Bradley Ogden and then were off to Celine’s boutique
for some serious shopping with our $1000.00 spree!
Finally it was time to meet Celine before the show. After
a warm welcome she graciously autographed mementoes and spoke
of how appreciative she and her team were for being able to perform
for us. It was an honor to meet such a genuine, talented
artist!
The music, costumes, choreography and of course Celine’s
amazing voice were breath taking. When the show came to
an end, my first thought was I didn’t want it to end and
my second was I must see it again.
Following the performance we were fortunate to receive a backstage
tour and saw first hand what was all involved in this outstanding
production. Everyone we met treated us so well and was
genuinely excited for us. We felt like royalty!
We enjoyed many more experiences over the weekend and then it
was time to fly back to Minnesota and reality. On behalf
of my husband and friends, I want to say thank you again to Celine,
Rene, Concerts West and everyone at Caesars Palace who left us
with memories that will last a lifetime!
