Spears could return to Vegas in the future – Caesars Entertainment senior vice president of marketing and entertainment, Jason Gastwirth, insists she would be welcomed back with open arms.
“When we first announced Britney: Piece of Me four years ago, we were certain that Britney’s residency would revolutionize the entertainment landscape in Las Vegas, and are thrilled at how successful the show has been,” Gastwirth said in a statement. “Britney’s emergence in this market paved the way for other artists to make Las Vegas their home and as a result, the top entertainment destination in the world. We look forward to working together with Britney again in the future.”
