Williams Turned Down Vegas Shows

The online tabloids are suggesting that because Robin Williams turned down a performance at The Colosseum in Las Vegas, money problems were not a motivation for his recent suicide.

Speaking at The 24th American Cinematheque Awards honoring Matt Damon in Beverly Hills, Calif.

AEG Live, which runs the venue at Caesars Palace, offered Williams two shows when Celine Dion wasn’t performing there, at a “mutually agreeable” date.

TMZ suggested the shows would occur while Williams was shooting his TV show “The Crazy Ones” and the performance offer document, dated July 2012, shows an artist guarantee of $600,000, with tickets ranging from $75 to $150.

“Robin’s people” told TMZ that if the comedian truly was cash-strapped he would have done some moonlighting in Vegas.

AEG had no comment.
