Rod Stewart, born Roderick David Stewart, is an English born singer and musician who broke his way onto American music charts with the Jeff Beck Group in the late 1960s. His distinctive voice, characterized by its raspy nature, immediately appealed to wide audiences, allowing him to launch a solo career in 1969. Many of his songs have become influential hits, giving Stewart the power and celebrity necessary to create a lasting name for himself.

Despite the length of time between now and his last hit, Stewart’s legacy lives on strong. Audiences are still excited to see him perform, meaning that many people are ecstatic to hear that he just signed a two year contract to perform in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas, Nevada. Taking on his first residency in the city of sin, Rod Stewart will be performing a set list entitled “The Hits.”

Included within “The Hits” are popular favorites, ranging from light R&B to poppy rock numbers. Audiences can look forward to Stewart classics such as the beloved “Maggie May,” “You’re in My Heart,” “Hot Legs,” and “You Wear it Well.” Stewart will also perform a few rare songs from time to time to please the die hard fans, with some familiar covers thrown in to spice things up a little. The range of music is sure to satisfy, while Stewart’s characteristic charm while performing will leave audiences wanting more.

This show is being designed to give guests an intimate performance experience. No fan in attendance will be more than 120 feet from the stage, offering a level of personalization that characterizes Las Vegas shows. AEG Live presents the show, a company that has provided state of the art production materials and supplies to create an incredible entertainment experience.

Dates have been named for the initial 18 performances, the first of which will take place on August 24, 2011. All shows will take place exclusively at the Coliseum in Caesar’s Palace, and tickets are available at the box office, online, or by phone. They are on sale now, so don’t hesitate to get your planning started.

Ticket prices range greatly, depending on the location of the seat. A seating chart can easily be viewed online for easy planning, though there’s no such thing as a truly bad seat in this venue. Tickets in the back rows start at a modest $49, while those hoping to get up close and personal with Rod Stewart will find themselves paying $250 per ticket.

These prices include taxes, but are subject to service fees, as well. Group reservations are available for those traveling with others, and dinner packages are also offered for those who would like to combine their night of musical bliss with a delicious meal.
