In what will go down in Las Vegas history as the glitziest show to ever rock Las Vegas, superstar Cher announced today that she will end her three-year residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Feb. 5, 2011. The award-winning actress and singer will have performed approximately 200 shows during the course of her three years at The Colosseum that began May 6, 2008.

The extraordinary production, aptly titled Cher, is a high-energy, concert-style show that features the artist’s record-breaking hits, including “If I Could Turn Back Time” and “Believe.” With the Oscar and Grammy winner’s rock and roll attitude and theatrical affinity, the show treats guests to a look back through Cher’s iconic career, with vintage footage of rarely seen Sonny and Cher clips and a stage that alters its scenery for every song and mood.

Designed for the 4,300-seat Colosseum, Cher boasts the talents of choreographer and director Doriana Sanchez, who brings Cher’s vision to life with 16 dancers and aerialists, state-of-the-art video and special effects and ambitious set designs. Cher’s signature costumes were designed by world-renowned fashion icon Bob Mackie, a longtime favorite of Cher’s.

“Cher is an entertainment legend,” John Meglen, co-CEO and president of AEG Live/Concerts West, said in a statement. “We are delighted that she has called The Colosseum at Caesars Palace home for three years. We wish her luck in future endeavors and thank her and the cast and crew for their dedication.”

“With each performance as fresh and energetic as opening night, Cher continues to reign among the best of the city’s long roster of legendary talents,” said Gary Selesner, president of Caesars Palace. “Our guests won’t want to miss these grand finale performances.”

Tickets for Jan. 11 through Feb. 5, 2011, go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m.
