Britney Spears’ Las Vegas residency named Best Overall Show

Britney Spears’ Las Vegas residency has been named Best Overall Show in the city.

The 33-year-old performer’s ‘Britney: Piece of Me’ show at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino won the title in a poll by readers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, with voters also crowning it the Best Bachelorette Party.

The 113-show residency began in December 2013 and is currently set to continue until September 2015, with the star previously confirming the show – which features 24 tracks spanning her 16-year career – will run until at least 2016.

The ‘Womanizer’ hitmaker – who has sons Preston, nine, and Jayden, eight, with former husband Kevin Federline – previously revealed she was inspired to take up a series of shows on the famous Strip after being taken backstage during Celine Dion’s residency in 2003.

She said:  »I remember how beautiful it was – really cool, low-key – and [Celine’s] dressing room was great.

 »I was actually jealous, like, ‘Oh, my gosh, she gets to be in one place all the time.’ Everything clicked: To have your children and your family and that way of life, it just makes sense to have everything in one place. »

Despite being applauded for having the best show, it was revealed earlier this year that ‘Candle in the Wind’ hitmaker Sir Elton John has overtaken Britney as the highest-earning performer in Las Vegas, earning $500,000 (£338,290), beating her reported $475,000 (£321,380) fee per show.

Tickets to see ‘Britney: Piece of Me’ in Las Vegas are currently available for dates throughout April, May, August and September.
