Elton John Takes Las Vegas With His Million Dollar Piano

Sir Elton John kicked off his three year residency in Las Vegas last night accompanied by his $1,000,000 piano. Elton was on stage at Caesars Palace for the first in his series of The Million Dollar Piano shows.

Elton John was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on March 25, 1947 and during his four-decade career has sold more than 250 million records.

His single Candle in the Wind 1997 sold over 33 million copies worldwide making it the best selling single in Billboards history. With more than 50 top 40 hits, 6 Grammies, an Oscar, a Tony, and a Golden Glove Award Sir Elton is a tough act to follow.

He told the crowd he named the concerts after his new piano, which it took manufacturer Yamaha four years to build, at a cost of $1 million.

Elton joked: It has a spin cycle washer, a microwave and an aquarium.

He then added the only thing missing was a barbecue.

Speaking about what the audience could expect ahead of the show, he said: Its going to surprise a lot of people.

This isnt like the old days. Its going to be certainly different from anything youve seen from me before, as was my last show, The Red Piano.

The show featured hits from across Eltons 40 year career, with video screens on either side displaying shots of memorabilia sent in by fans from his previous shows in the city.

Eltons last Las Vegas residency spanned five years ending in 2009. The first 16 dates of his current run will be staged throughout October, with the rest yet to be announced.

The fame-driven couple just picked up a Beverly Hills rental house for $20,000 a month. The white Colonial looks remarkably similar to another white house they crashed in 2009. Although the Salahis first had their dose of fame on The Real Housewives of Washington D.C., they became a household name when they went to President Obama's first state dinner at the White House in November 2009 , apparently uninvited.
