How Britney Spears Could Change Las Vegas Forever



Las Vegas has traditionally been a place where pop stars go to retire. Legacy acts like Elton John and Shania Twain no longer light up the radio like they used to, but they have a loyal and aging fan base that’s reached its peak earning years and can afford to travel to a show instead of waiting for a show to come to them.

Shallow, soulless, boring, bright and shiny stuff. Can we make a deal, let her and others go there, make a lifetimes fortune. In exchange we get to never hear about them again ? Too harsh?
