Package deals for the new Elton John Caesars Palace concert series are a terrific way to save money on your Vegas vacation while still getting to see one of the music industry's greatest all time performers. Sir Elton's The Million Dollar Piano begins on September 28, 2011, and it's sure to be an amazing follow-up to his last shows at the Caesars Palace Colosseum, part of a series called The Red Piano, which was slated to have 75 performances and was so popular that it ultimately ran for more than 240. Booking an Elton John ticket package is a great way to see this phenomenal showman's first shows in Vegas since 2009.

Tickets for individual shows begin at about $55, not including taxes and fees, and range upward depending on what day of the week you're visiting and where you'd like to sit. VIP packages will add to the cost of the Elton John tickets, though they're well worth the money if you want to get as close to the action as possible and bring home some Elton John memorabilia as well. The Elton John show schedule has the concerts beginning at 8 pm, with most performances on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, though there are a few midweek concerts as well. The later start time makes this a great show to see if you'd like to create a dinner-and-a-show night out during your trip to Vegas.

For most visitors, the best Elton John ticket package option is one that combines a trip to see The Million Dollar Piano with access to other great things to do in Vegas. Las Vegas is a perfect package vacation destination, and it's frequently possible to combine concert tickets with shopping trips, meals at great restaurants, casinos along the Strip, and rooms at a hotel. The Elton John Caesars Palace show can be the focal point of your trip, or simply another great thing to add to your itinerary—you can even head to see other great shows in Las Vegas, some of which, such as Celine Dion's series Celine, are also playing at the Colosseum.
