The signs were there, but it seems Resorts World has all but given up on Celine Dion ever performing a residency there.<\/p>\n

Dion has been removed from the resort’s Web site. She was previously listed as “TBA,” with dates “to be announced.”<\/p>\n

Now, not so much.<\/p>\n

Hopes were high when Celine announced her Resorts World residency. Now, reality is setting in. Las Vegas isn’t big on reality.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Celine Dion was supposed to begin her Resorts World residency on November 5, 2021.<\/p>\n

Yes, we foretold her residency a year before it was announced<\/a>. Please stop fawning, it’s embarrassing. (Fawn in person, where it’s entirely appropriate.)<\/p>\n

Prior to the launch of the residency, though, Dion announced shows would be postponed<\/a> due to medical issues. Specifically, muscle spasms.<\/p>\n

The shows were presumably postponed to late 2022.<\/p>\n

Red flags went up pretty quickly because while her Resorts World performances were postponed, her world tour was not.<\/p>\n

Since then, though, she’s canceled a number of U.S. world tour dates<\/a> (schedule for March 9 through April 22, 2022).<\/p>\n

The European leg of her tour has been pushed back to 2023. From the schedule<\/a>, it appears Dion is booked overseas through Oct. 2023.<\/p>\n

Dion announced the postponement of her European dates in a video on Instagram<\/a>, with all the requisite Celine pauses for dramatic effect.<\/p>\n

Muscle spasms can be real jerks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A message said, “I’m so sorry we have to change our tour plans for Europe one more time; first we had to move the shows because of the pandemic, now it’s my health issues causing us to postpone the shows. I am doing a little bit better, but I’m still experiencing some spasms. I need to be in top shape when I’m on stage. I honestly can’t wait, but I’m just not there yet. I’m doing my very best to get back to the level that I need to be so that I can give 100% at my shows because that’s what you deserve.”<\/p>\n

It appears Resorts World has thrown in the towel on what was to be its biggest (and most lucrative) residency, at least on its Web site.<\/p>\n

The delays have been heartbreaking for Celine fans, of course. We trust they’ve also been heartbreaking for Resorts World executives.<\/p>\n

Celine Dion not only sells a lot of tickets, she delivers great casino resort customers who gamble and spend a lot on restaurants and other amenities.<\/p>\n

The ongoing challenges raise larger questions about Celine Dion’s condition, and some even question whether she’ll perform live again.<\/p>\n

When, and if, she does return to the stage, it’s unlikely we’ll see her at a Las Vegas resort anytime soon.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear what conclusions one should draw from the rumor Dion is selling her home in a high-end neighborhood in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\n

Rumor is Celine is selling her Summit home (in the Summerlin community west of The Strip) to another celebrity. Deep breaths, Resorts World.<\/p>\n
