LAS VEGAS, July 11 (UPI) -- Major stars have a lot of interest in appearing at Celine Dion's state-of-the-art showroom in Las Vegas, a report said Friday.

Dion completed her first run of dates at the 4,100-capacity, $95 million showplace July 6, wrapping up 65 sellouts that grossed about $36 million.

Other artists scheduled to perform at the venue include Tim McGraw (July 18-19) and Mariah Carey (July 26).

"We always intended for other artists to play this venue," says John Meglen, co-president of Concerts West, producers of the Dion extravaganza and promoters for the Colosseum. "There are 12 weeks a year when Celine is not playing."

Dion resumes her three-year engagement at the Colosseum Aug. 6.
