Fall brings some of entertainment's biggest acts to Atlantic City
As summer cools down, the Atlantic City Convention Center and Boardwalk Hall heat up with an eclectic mix of entertainment, headliners and public shows for all to enjoy.
Celine Dion makes her debut at Boardwalk Hall on Saturday, September 20, as part of her
Taking Chances World Tour. While many know her from the hit song “My Heart Will Go On” from
Titanic, Dion first gained international acclaim in the 1980s with the breakthrough theme of Disney’s animated movie
Beauty and the Beast. The song reached No. 1 and won both a Grammy and an Academy Award. Dion takes the stage at 8 p.m. Tickets are $225, $150, $95 and $55.
On Saturday, November 22,
Madonna returns to Boardwalk Hall with her
Sticky & Sweet Tour, expected to surpass her sold-out Confessions Tour in terms of production, visual enhancement, technology, dancing and costumes. A special stage is being created to showcase Madonna, her band and a troop of dancers, promising a great experience for those in attendance at Boardwalk Hall. The
Sticky & Sweet Tour is produced by Live Nation and presented by Caesars Atlantic City. Tickets are $350, $250, $150, and $50.
