LAS VEGAS - Is there anything as radiant, and yet comforting and predictable, as the sun rising every morning in the eastern sky?

Well, yes. Cher, actually.

At the age of 64, there seems little evidence that the pop diva is relinquishing her hold on fame, or her lifetime supply of fans, and for proof one need look no farther than last Wednesday night, when, for the umpteenth time in her 50-year career, thousands of admirers shelled out big bucks and filled 4,300 seats at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for her last show before a summer hiatus and a return to the same stage in September.

It is a sight to see, the ageless pop phenomenon that is Cher in 2010, floating down from the Colosseum rafters in a glitzy chariot that swings out over the crowd and deposits her on stage, where, for the next hour and a half, she belts out 25 familiar hits from "The Beat Goes On" and "Half-Breed" to "If I Could Turn Back Time" and "Believe," along with a Sonny and Cher "duet," all the while slipping in and out of 17 dazzling Bob Mackie-designed costumes.
