ShowTickets.com, a Travelocity(R) company, and leading distributor of show tickets and tours in Las Vegas, today announces its newest kiosk location at The Forum Shops at Caesars in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.

Each sports a new logo that incorporates Travelocity’s familiar guiding stars theme and also clearly designates ShowTickets.com as a Travelocity company.
