PRINCE TO INK LONG-TERM DEAL TO PLAY VEGAS' RIO???

Just received the following from my friend and journalist who lives in Las Vegas:

"Review-Journal here in Vegas reported this morning that Prince is going to sign a long-term with the Rio akin to Celine Dion's with Caesar's and Barry Manilow's with the LV Hilton...
This has been a rumor swirling for months and looks like its happening... And interestingly, if you go on to Prince's site at http://www.3121.com/, the only thing that comes up is the unmistakable outline of the Rio's neon tower."

Personally, I hope this is NOT true. I would rather not see Prince go Vegas. Is this the beginning of the end for our once cutting-edge, label-defying hero???

Peace,
Scott

I heard some time back he was opening his own small club in Vegas, but never a set-up similar to Celine, Barry, Elton, Wayne, etc.

funny how people just post late news without reading current news.....he's not even playing that much....he will be booking acts to appear at the Rio for $30 a night and charging extra when he shows up with those acts....so for all those that thought he was going to become a Vegas act....think again

OK, OK ... I see now it was posted earlier this week. I spent the past two days traveling across the country and did not see it. When I was emailed about it today, I looked quickly and did not see it. I would have expected something of this magnitude as a sticky.

I don't see this as a sticky JUST YET as nothing is official. At this time it looks like it will PROBABLY happen...but because it could be dropped at the last minute/second, it is not a done deal.
I'm firmly planted in denial
