Britney Spears
Planet Hollywood: March 22-31, April 1-8 and May 3-20.
As one of the most famous pop stars in the world, it was only matter of time before Britney Spears signed a Las Vegas residency deal. Britney has actually been performing regularly at Planet Hollywood since last year, but her shows are as electrifying and daring as ever. Britney has 15 years of hit making under her belt, but we think that her residency in the City of Sin is producing some of the best shows in Vegas.
Celine Dion
Caesar’s Palace: April 4-22, May 16-31 and June 2-3.
Celine Dion is a Vegas icon, and has been performing her ‘Celine’ residency in Caesars Palace since 2011. She’s booked in to perform her shows until June 2017, to adoring audiences.
