[[Celine Dion]]'s [[A New Day...]], from 2003 to 2007, is the most successful concert residency of all time, grossing over US$385&nbsp;million (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|385|r=2|2007}}}} million in {{Inflation-year|US}} dollars){{inflation-fn|US}} and drawing nearly three million people to 717 shows. This commercial success was credited with changing and revitalizing Las Vegas residencies, which previously had the negative perception of something that performers resorted to when their careers were in decline. Dion is further recognized as the "Queen of Las Vegas".<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=2019-06-09 |title=Celine Dion Ends Historic Las Vegas Residency Run With Heartfelt, Hit-Laden Farewell |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/Celine-dion-caesars-palace-residency-finale-review-8515067/ |access-date=2021-12-02 |magazine=Billboard}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Olmsted |first=Larry |title=Celine Dion Returns To Las Vegas' Newest Resort—Along With Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan And Katy Perry |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/larryolmsted/2021/05/13/Celine-dion-returns-to-las-vegas-newest-resortalong-with-music-stars-carrie-underwood-luke-bryan-and-katy-perry/ |access-date=2021-12-02 |website=Forbes |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Furdyk |first=Brent |date=2019-06-09 |title=Final Show: Celine Dion Closes Out Las Vegas Residency After 16 Years |url=https://etcanada.com/news/462077/final-show-Celine-dion-closes-out-las-vegas-residency-after-16-years/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190609200018/https://etcanada.com/news/462077/final-show-celine-dion-closes-out-las-vegas-residency-after-16-years/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 9, 2019 |access-date=2021-12-02 |website=ET Canada |language=en-US}}</ref>
