Celine Dion rings in the Lunar New Year at Caesars Palace.

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.

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.
