Bette Midler Concert Review

On Tuesday evening I attended the Bette Midler show at The Colsseum in Ceasers Palace in Las Vegas. I call it a show because that’s exactly what it was contrary to my earlier belief.
I mistakenly assumed that I would be treated to a string of nostalgic
tunes performed by one of my long time favorite artists. I don’t mean
to give the impression that it wasn’t a good show, only I was a little
disappointed that Bette Midler didn’t do more singing. Instead, she spent a great deal of time walking across the very large stage telling jokes, some of which were pretty raunchy and not to my old fashioned taste.

Throughout the performance, Bette was surrounded by 15+ scantily dressed showgirls whom she called the Caesar Salad Dancers. When Bette finally got around to the singing, she delivered everything as promised. It was amazing how this diminutive woman was able to belt
out our favorite tunes with such a clear strong voice. Backed by one of the best orchestras on tour it was show worth seeing.

Thanks NotJustTheKitchen.com,a site for baby boomer women for the Bette Midler review. See more concerts in Las Vegas as well.
