Celine has moved on from Las Vegas, but there is a new diva in Sin City and one that just seems to fit the Vegas mould. Cher just seems to be a more natural fit to Las Vegas than Celine ever was for me.

Richard Abowitz over at The Movable Buffet thinks that Cher will be a hard sell for the Colosseum marketers. I am not so sure. Although the prices are admittedly a little steep, they are fairly average for Las Vegas. Cher starts performing on May 6^th and the prices will range from $95 to $250.

So why do I think that Cher will do well in Las Vegas?

This is Sin City and although there are some amazing performers doing well, there are just as many border line talents making some outstanding money and selling out every night. Can you say Wayne Newton?

It seems to me Cher brings the reputation and work ethic that is needed to survive in Vegas. As she told Mike Weatherford "Las Vegas is way over the top, and the show that I do is way over the top. I feel that it just has to be," Cher, 61, said in a telephone interview. "I guess you could go on in a black dress (and sing), but oh, I would just want to slit my wrist."

Sounds to me like the right attitude.
