May 3, 2007 (LAS VEGAS) - Thar she blows! Bette Midler today officially announced that she is headed for Las
Vegas. The legendary sensation has signed on with entertainment promoter AEG Live for a minimum two year
deal as the new resident artist at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace starting in February 2008. When asked about
her upcoming run in Las Vegas - The Divine Miss M had this to say.
"Get ready Vegas 'cause here I come! Caesars Palace will never be the same and to all those critics who have
accused me of being 'tacky,' 'too much' and 'over the top' I say, you ain't seen nuthin' yet!"
The show, which is scheduled to premiere on February 20, 2008, will be the biggest, most imaginative production
Bette Midler has ever done. With plenty of girls, gags and guffaws, her incomparable humor, the best song
catalogue in American music and her fabulous "Kiss My Brass" section, audiences will be treated to an
experience that can only be referred to as "divine".

going to have together on this project," said John Meglen, Co-CEO and President of AEG Live/Concerts West.
