Britney Spears Could Have a Future in Las Vegas

By Jo Piazza Posted Mar 29th 2011 05:43PM

Following Britney Spears' much publicized and over the top performance at the Palms Las Vegas last Friday, casino owners are holding behind-the-scenes meetings to try to figure out how to lure Spears to Sin City for a more permanent show.

"Britney's act is just so Vegas that we think she could be one of the city's biggest moneymakers," a source inside the talks tells PopEater.

Palms owner George Maloof was certainly taken with the pop star. He gushed to MTV News about just how giddy he was about Spears' show.

"I think this one's going to be really over-the-top," he said of Spears' show, which will be included in the MTV special. "And we're all excited about her new album, and I heard it's spectacular, so here we go: Britney Spears at the Palms."

Country star Garth Brooks recently proved just how lucrative Vegas can be for a music icon. Brooks has been performing for sold out crowds at the Wynn Las Vegas since the end of 2009. The demand for tickets has been so high that the casino and resort recently raised ticket prices for this spring's shows to $225 a pop.

"In terms of value, I believe that Garth Brooks is still under-priced and represents the greatest entertainment value in modern Las Vegas," Steve Wynn said about Brooks when the price increase was announced.

Britney, now reaching the top of her game following a rough road back from her breakdown, could bring in even more than Brooks, Vegas insiders claim.

Settling in a single location for a high-profile gig might just suit Spears' new homebody lifestyle. She recently told V magazine that she would be a stay-at-home mom if she could be anything else besides a pop star.

"I'd be a full-time mom, which would be cool. I'd miss my fans and all of the love the most, but I definitely would not miss having my picture taken everywhere I go," Spears told the mag. Vegas would give Brit the best of both worlds. She would be able to wow her fans each night, but have her days free to spend with her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, plus all those extra hours she would otherwise have spent on the road touring.

"Britney Spears at the Palms," has a nice ring to it for a full-time gig. It sounds a little like the ding of a full cash register.

How would she be a "stay at home" Mom when she doesnt even have her kids?? Shes a total misfit - how she is famous is beyond me..as is the same with most of young Hollywood...talentless...

By krscmbs

think so too she would fit right in with the other streetwalkers on the strip

By Kat2988

yea, she should perform at the Cannery, Terribles or way way off the strip, yea.

You can be a stay at home mom...JUST STAY HOME,IDIOT

Sure and if you made a mistake and somehow went to one of her shows - you wouldn't have to tell anyone. After all what happens in Vegas - stays in Vegas.

By jonzbeach

I don't get it?? Why is it okay for this hasbeen to be autotuned TA DEATH, and then show up puffy and slow and lip synch to her own record like a bedazzled sloth? Why is this okay with her fans?? She's like a skanky hair extensioned one-woman Partridge Family band (google it kids)

I'll see Britney Spears in Las Vegas with Lindsay Lohan.

I live in LV and let's hope that it never happens. There are plenty of musicians to pursue for regular engagements - ones that play instruments and actually sing in concert, not tabloid trash like Britney. I would rather stick icepicks in my ears than listen to her processed garbage.

Has she improved her lip synching? Amazing when I saw her she was about two words behind the recorded music! What a rip off, now she looks like a 2 cent tramp.

By badbirdz

Agreed,and agreed, Britney is finished. She really can not sing, she is eye candy for those who seek this out. We have been to Vegas many times and have seen some really wonderful artist, Cher,Celne Dion, they are the stars who actually sing and deserve to make mega bucks, Britney,well just listen and make your own decision.
