At another point in the concert, she showed a bit of Las Vegas pride by displaying her legs in a jersey for the city's hockey team, the Golden Knights.

Her second and current Las Vegas residency, which she kicked off at The Colosseum At Caesars Palace in 2011, will regularly feature Ashes.
She will also integrate the song into her concerts when she embarks on a barnstorming tour of Asia, Australia and New Zealand this summer.
Celine has become a landmark of Sin City, where her first Caesars Palace residency A New Day... ran for more than 700 shows between 2003 and 2007.

In 2016, her husband and manager Rene Angelil died at 73 after a protracted struggle with throat cancer. Onstage Tuesday, she was wearing his ring.
Celine met Rene when she was 12 and began officially dating him at 19.
