i agree with Jome - according to the definition of censorship, the hotel would have been censoring - if they actually did anything. sounds like the story has been exaggerated and the hotel never escorted her like a common criminal, i just read this:
Singer Linda Ronstadt says that she will continue to urge her audiences to see Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 despite the uproar that ensued when she did so Saturday night at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. In an interview with today's (Wednesday) Los Angeles Times, which described her as "a longtime liberal activist," Ronstadt said that she has been making her remarks about the Moore film at every concert and each time drawing a mixture of hisses and hurrahs. "I've done this all across the country, and I'm telling you, it's like my independent poll. I have never seen a [polarized] reaction like this in all my years of touring." Ronstadt also told the Times that reports that the Aladdin management threw her out of the building after her performance were exaggerated. "They didn't throw me out. I didn't even know there was trouble. I didn't know they were mad," she said.

how is it censorship when she was able to say what she wanted to say, and she's still able to say what she wants to say at future concerts?

It's not censorship just because you misread your audience. When the GOVERNMENT says you can't do something under penalty of law, that's censorship. When private actors level sanctions/boycotts against other private actors, that's freedom of association.
