Elton John's stamina for live performances shows no sign of waning after he marked 200 tour nights in four years in Las Vegas.

The British balladeer, 61, has been rocking his Red Piano tour since 2004 which has seen him enthral audiences worldwide and receive critical acclaim for his live show.

Celebrating at Caesar's Palace, Elton couldn't resist firing playful jibes at Celine Dion who performed at the famous hotel for five years.

"Welcome to the ex-home of Celine Dion," he said, before holding a faux minute silence for the diva.

Audiences around the world have been treated to an impressive set which has featured an array of songs from the artist's catalogue of the past three decades.

The extravagant show, which features giant video screens and inflatable props, will cross the Atlantic to continue in the UK next weekend.
