Negotiations for a Britney Spears residency on the Las Vegas Strip continue and center on the number of dates -- probably 40 -- the pop princess would perform over a two-year contract period.
However, I have learned that although no deal is set in stone, Base Entertainment, who operates PH Live at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, has agreed to refurbish the theater in advance.
If final contract terms come to fruition, the 7,000-seat theater reportedly will receive a full, up-to-date makeover, either in time for late fall or early winter or at the latest by early spring.
Meantime, two Las Vegas groups are in talks as “negotiations inch forward” with Britney’s business representatives.
