Britney Spears begins long-term Las Vegas gig
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Las Vegas has a new pop fixture. Britney Spears began her two-year residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on Friday night, just in time to catch the town's massive New Year's Eve crowds.
The audience stayed on its feet for the entire 90 minute show, dancing to airbrushed versions of the 32-year-old Spears' top hits, including "Toxic" and "I'm A Slave 4 U."
The young-for-Vegas crowd was there for the spectacle, which included acrobatics, a ring of fire, confetti, and a frequently airborne Spears.
The Grammy-winning singer will perform 50 shows each in 2014 and 2015. She is performing in a 7,000-seat theater that has been shrunken to 4,500 seats by closing the balcony.
Kurt Melien, who oversees entertainment programming for Planet Hollywood parent company Caesars Entertainment Corp., said Spears is using a recording of her voice to help her through the more physically grueling parts of the show, and add an electronic quality to her vocals. Some audience members said they thought they detected lip syncing.
A collection of pop stars, including Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus, attended the opening.
Spears is among the youngest stars to have settled down to quasi-retirement in Las Vegas. Other successful Strip headliners include Celine Dion and Elton John.
The show takes place in a relatively intimate theater with nightclub touches, including table and bottle service. Tickets range from $59 to $179.
Before the announcement of the residency, Spears' strongest Las Vegas tie derived from her short-lived marriage here. A 22-year-old Spears married her childhood friend in Sin City in 2004, and got the marriage annulled 55 hours later.
Spears made a grand Las Vegas entrance this month with fire-breathers, contortionists, snake charmers and hunky dancers welcoming her during a staged event at Planet Hollywood.
A portion of the Strip was temporarily closed so that she could pull up to the casino in a convertible. Spears told Las Vegas, "this is my city" now, then immediately went home to Los Angeles.
Spears has released seven platinum-plus albums since she debuted on the music scene in 1999. Her eighth album, "Britney Jean," was released this month to tepid reviews.
Britney's Vegas show prices aren't cheap either guys (lol) as a matter of fact neither is making the trip in general to Vegas. However, you can go to Vegas go see Britney perform or just take that vacation you have been in desperate need for by pulling in some extra cash guys. No, no, no I'm not telling you to request overtime at work, or avoid a couple of bills and recklessly hit the town of Vegas with your light bill and or rent money guys.
What if I told you, you could pull in some extra cash to score some Britney tickets or a vacation in general today what would you say? What if I told you that you could easily make extra money every week anywhere from a thousand to five thousand legally?
Click on the word link right now and get some extra money so you can scream your voice out at the Britney Vegas concert series as a fan you deserve to see her perform live in person, you are much better then watching her concert on YouTube wishing you were there with all of her other fans that probably don't know her as well as you do anyway!
