Vegas curtain call for Elton John

The Rocket Man bid farewell to the Las Vegas Strip on Wednesday after five years and 241 shows at Caesars Palace - but said it won't necessarily be a long, long time before he returns.

Wearing a bright red shirt that matched his piano and a coat emblazoned with "Las Vegas Pirates" on its back and "Captain Elton" on its right sleeve, Elton John rolled through his hits and reflected on his time at the Colosseum, a stage he famously shared with Celine Dion, Bette Midler and Cher.
