In celebration of Lunar New
Year, Caesars Palace headliner Celine Dion hosted the grand opening ceremony
for the new Octavius Tower at Caesars Palace, officially ringing in the Year of
the Dragon. During the private ceremony this evening, Dion participated in the
customary lion dance, bringing good fortune to the resort’s sixth hotel tower
and wishing happiness and prosperity for the New Year.
“I am pleased to celebrate the opening of the
luxurious Octavius Tower at Caesars Palace and am very honored to welcome the
Year of the Dragon,” said Dion. “As this is a very special time when millions
of people around the world are celebrating the Lunar New Year, I would like to
send my very best wishes to all for a healthy and happy New Year.”
The grand opening celebration
kicked off with a traditional lion dance parade as Dion painted the eyes of the
emblematic lion to awaken it, presenting it with a red envelope, a customary
gift to symbolize prosperity. Accompanied by beating drums, synchronized lion
dancers paraded throughout the tower to ward off evil spirits, welcoming a new
year of wealth and prosperity.
“At Caesars Palace we are
privileged to welcome guests from around the world and it is with great
pleasure that we continue our longstanding Chinese New Year celebrations - a
custom which began in 1975,” announced Caesars Palace Regional President Gary
Selesner. “As we proudly commemorate the Lunar New Year, we are excited to
welcome our very own Celine Dion as she hosts the official grand opening of our
brand new Octavius Tower . On behalf of Caesars Palace , I wish you and your
families a very happy and prosperous New Year.”
