Elton John is now part of the foundation of Caesars Palace.

After opening his show "The Red Piano" at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace to rave reviews, Elton John joined Caesars president Mark Juliano to tour the construction site of the resort's new 949-room tower and autographed a special yellow brick which will be added to the support structure of the building which is set for completion in 2005.

"In a very short period of time, Elton John and 'The Red Piano' have made their mark on the landscape of Las Vegas entertainment," said Mark Juliano. "For Elton John to show his support for Caesars Palace by taking part in a brick signing event created with only our employees in mind, is truly special."

The signing was sparked by a recent human resources campaign in which Caesars Palace associates were invited to sign their names on cement bricks which are to be sealed in the support structure of the new tower. Elton John offered his support, but apropos of his hit song "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," Elton John autographed only a yellow brick.
