Elton John and Billy Joel to Team up Again

30th October 2008 | Category: Concerts,Las Vegas | Tags: ,

Even though the dates have not yet been decided, Elton John and his fellow pianist Billy Joel are planning to tour together again sometime next year.

The two pop/rock icons have toured together four times before. During these so called “Face to Face” tours, the two have played each other’s songs and performed duets.

Elton John has sold over 200 million records, making him one of the most successful artists of all time. John was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and was knighted in 1998. For now, John will continue to perform mostly at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

Billy Joel has sold over 150 million albums worldwide. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999. Joel “retired” from recording pop music in 1993 but continued to tour – sometimes with Elton John.

Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao

29th October 2008 | Category: Las Vegas,Sports | Tags: ,

Oscar De La Hoya was just six years old when he first began to box. “My brother, Joel Jr., put a pair on me and the other pair on one of my cousins,” Oscar recalled.

De La Hoya never pictured himself becoming a fighter. He was always found in the park playing baseball with the other kids.

His first true test of the power in his left hand came in the ’92 Olympics.

He had promised an ill mother, Cecilia, that he would bring back home the gold medal from those Olympics and in his mind there was no question of failing to keep that promise.

He did so, dominating the entire match, in what was the most emotion filled moment of those Olympics.

De La Hoya’s amateur boxing career holds an amazing 223 wins, with 163 knockouts.

Now you have a chance to witness history as De La Hoya fights in what has been billed as the Dream Match.

This ten time world champion will face down MANNY “Pacman” PACQUIAO on Saturday, December 6 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Imagine it!!! Fabulous Las Vegas and De La Hoya too.

Don’t wait til there are no tickets left. Get your tickets to the “Dream Match” featuring Oscar De La Hoya today!
