I don't think it was such a big thing for Cher. I mean, the only reason I finally broke down and paid $2500/ticket was my wife believed that the show we saw was going to be the last and only time she could see her. And a lot of people thought the same thing. I want to hope that Bill Clinton as President didn't follow her around the country to see her. :)
That night, they actually locked the doors of the MGM about an hour before the concert and kept them locked until Clinton left.
Funny story, I was looking for the showroom and walked up to a couple of guys that I thought worked for the Hotel. When I got about 10 feet from them, they pulled out their guns. They told me they were not employees and asked me to step away but I still asked them where the showroom was :) About 30 seconds later, Bill Clinton walked by and I quickly learned that the guys were Secret Service :) And talk about concert security...damn. After the metal detectors we were all searched by guys that were not your average fat guys wearing concert teeshirts that you usually see. :)
