Celine in Las Vegas: Opening Night Live is a one-off American television special by Canadian singer Celine Dion that was broadcast by CBS on 25 March 2003. It was recorded the same day at the 4,000-seat Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.[1] Hosted by Justin Timberlake,[2] the special celebrated the Opening Night performance of Dion's first Las Vegas residency, A New Day..., which initially ran for three years and was later extended for an additional two years. It also served as promotion for Dion's studio album One Heart.[3] The broadcast included eight performances from the original setlist of A New Day... and incorporated backstage footage and a behind-the-scenes segment on the creation of the show.

The full production was later filmed for the Live in Las Vegas: A New Day... DVD and Blu-ray, released in 2007 during the show's fifth and final year. The special received a nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography.[4]
