Van Morrison at Caesars Palace Colosseum

  
  Van Morrison is one of my favorite 70s singer/song writers so when our daughter saw that he was performing in Las Vegas she bought Tony and me concert tickets as a Christmas present. (Thanks Eden!)  Van Morrison’s style today is much more bluesy than in his early days and he plays around with the melodies, words, and composition – still Van Morrison but with a throatier voice and a more complex presentation. The band is excellent and Morrison, at 73, can still belt out songs, play guitar, harmonica and saxophone.

    Enter the casino from Las Vegas Blvd and follow the signs a short distance to the theater entrance. A usher will help push up the ramp if necessary before escorting attendees to their seats. Each tier of the theater has a section of accessible seating with movable chairs so attendees can stay in their own chair or move to the theater chairs. All tiers, except maybe the second one, have companion seating.  We had great seats in the last row of the first tier but all of seats look like they have good views plus two huge screens allow for closeup views.

   We parked in the lot behind Ballys.  On previous visits to Vegas this was our overnight spot when we wanted to see the Strip but a couple of years ago it was gated off to become a fee parking lot. The fee for 4-24 hours is $12.00.  Payment is by credit card. The lot gets busy so finding space for a large vehicle can be difficult. It may be possible to stay overnight in an RV but we did not try it. The sidewalks and curb cuts are in good condition. Colosseum Parking
