Tonight at 8 PM  on NBC stations you can see highlights of a performance of Elton John's The Red Piano recorded live at the The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The Red Piano is the most expensive ticket in Las Vegas. Certainly, the television version will be no substitute for the real thing. But I love Elton John's show and regret only its cost and brevity (The Red Piano is a mere 90 minutes that barely scratches John's career). Still, this is a good way to taste the experience for free, and decide if it is worth spending $250 for a ticket.
