IAG SEP 2019年9月 亞博匯 41 焦點關注 T he Colosseum at Caesars Palace was built to coincide with Celine Dion’s “A New Day” residency in Las Vegas, which opened in 2003. Billboard described it as the best live concert venue of the past decade. Now 16 years old, major renovations were announced in April of this year. Once complete, the updated venue will introduce the first and only automatic seat lifting system in Las Vegas for VIP tables with bottle service as well as main floor seats, on top of a state-of-the-art sound system, mobile lighting equipment and a high- resolution LED video wall. The new seating system will allow the floorplan to be changed depending on the performance. Caesars Entertainment has also acquired the operating rights for the Colosseum and signed a contract for a joint promotion with leading promotion firm Live Nation. Among the first artists to perform at the venue once it re-opens this fall will be the likes of singer Rod Stewart, comedian Jerry Seinfeld and the “Queen of Pop” – Madonna. IAG: Why is quality entertainment so important to the success of a company like Caesars? Jason Gastwirth: When Caesars Entertainment built The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in 2003 for Celine Dion’s residency performances, we 位 於拉斯維加斯、於2003年開幕的凱撒皇宮 羅馬大劇院(Colosseum)原是為Celine Dion的「A New Day」演出而特地建造,美國 娛樂雜誌《Billboard》曾將Colosseum譽為 過去十年中最佳的演唱會場所。 轉眼之間16年過去了,今年4月凱撒宣佈Colosseum將進行翻新 大工程。工程完工後,將成為拉斯維加斯首個也是唯一的一個在 貴賓層設有升降座椅系統的場所,配有酒水服務,並提供主層座 位。此外還將配有最先進的音響系統、燈光設備和高像素的LED 牆。新的座位系統可根據表演而更改平面佈置。 凱撒娛樂還獲得Colosseum的營運權,並與業內巨頭Live Nation簽訂聯合推廣的合同。今年秋季重新開放後,將有歌手 Rod Stewart、笑匠Jerry Seinfeld以及「流行天后」Madonna首 先演出。 IAG:為甚麼高質的娛樂節目對凱撒這樣的公司的成功如此重 要? Jason Gastwirth: 2003年,凱撒娛樂在拉斯維加斯於凱撒皇宮 為Celine Dion的常駐演出而建造羅馬大劇院,我們在不知不覺 中引發了全球前所未見的現場表演熱潮。此前,還沒有聽說過一 個超級巨星會在一個場地進行長時間的「駐場」演出,但我們獲 得了超前的成功。 16年間Celine Dion在凱撒皇宮舉辦了過千場演出,取得空 前的成功,亦帶來了其他如Elton John、Britney Spears、Back- street Boys和Jennifer Lopez的演出。這座標誌性的獲獎場所也 成為了Christina Aguilera、Gwen Stephanie、Mariah Carey和 Sting定期演出的理想場所。
