Seriously?

The Grand Canyon. You can buy Celine Dion music videos.

That's quite a variety of options.

Grand Canyon hands down. You're actually considering perhaps the greatest natural attraction in the West where you will spend at least one day at vs. a couple hours of a concert/show? Call me crazy, but there is no choice here.

Can't believe this questions - how could you turn down the Grand Canyon for a 2-hour concert - by anyone - never mind Celine.

The BEST thing about Vegas is that they got Celine out of Canada. All Canadians thank you!!

I'd give my eye teeth to see the Grand Canyon. Not being a real Celine fan (at all) it would bea very easy choice for me. Buy a video.

We were just at Grand Canyon last winter, and I think we listened to the Celine Dion Chrismas CD while we were there. Might be a good idea for you!

Or you could just stand on the edge and fling the Celine CD into the deep crevace. Speaking figuratively of course, I would not advocate littering.

I'll put $20 on the Grand Canyon. I don't think Celine would last one round against that behemoth!

that's too funny! There's no way you posted that seriously!

The Grand Canyon, if for no other reason than that it's not as obnoxious!!!!

I'm confused. Is the choice that if you go to the Grand Canyon you also have to see Celine? Hmmmm. It would be rough, but to see the Grand Canyon, I think I'd still do it and just suffer through the Celine show.

I'm not changing my vote, but I feel I must report to you about Celine. I never liked her, I thought she was a Kathy Lee Gifford knock off, I thought she was annoyingly perfect......Then I met and worked with her. She is truly a lovely person and genuinely kind, caring, considerate, Likable. And fun!!! She is really funny and enjoyable to be with. That said, you couldn't get me to her show. I'm releived I don't have to take my mom on our next trip as she has taken time off! Woohoo Grand Canyon!

Now place2. Why would you want to nasty up the Grand Canyon with Celine?

These two are such a far stretch it's like trying to decide between breathing and a comic book.

I've been to both. I'm not a big Celine fan, but my BIL is so we went. It was a good show but over priced as far as I'm conserned.

To really see the Grand Canyon you will need to spend the night or take a flight (which I haven't done)

So if you have the time, hands down it's the Grand Canyon. If you don't have the time, then go see Celine.

One of them is a big giant gaping hole. The other is a beloved national park.

You decide.

I've been to the Grand Canyon and I've seen Celine Dion in concert (but not in Vegas). I'd say skip Las Vegas and go to the Grand Canyon. Or at least remove a night from LV to spend at the Grand Canyon. You should see the sunset/sunrise and walk down in the canyon for at least 30 minutes. Watch out for people flinging CDs down the path (and mule poop too).

I think I have this one figured out.

I bet that tickets to see Celine Dion are around $100 per person. Does that sound correct?

The cost of renting a car, hotel overnight, gas to get to the Grand Canyon would also be around $200.

I'm hoping against all hope this is a money issue.
