"What a fabulous two years this has been, and I thank AEG and Caesars Palace
for the best partnership a showgirl could imagine. Who knows? These legs
have had such a great run in the desert---it may be time to haul them to
places with more humidity and fewer slot machines. But first I need to finish
recording my album of the sexiest new love songs that only a showgirl could
sing," stated Midler.

"Bette is one of the most talented, hard working professionals in the business
and we would have loved for her to stay longer, said John Meglen, co-CEO and
President of AEG Live/Concerts West. "All of us at AEG Live thank Bette and
the entire cast, crew and staff for a great two year run at The Colosseum."

"Like every one of her performances, the approaching finale of Bette's
two-year engagement leaves us applauding for more," said Gary Selesner,
president of Caesars Palace. "Bette always will have a home at Caesars
Palace."

31, 2010. The show is dark Monday, Thursday and occasional Fridays. Tickets
