Britney Spears began her two-year residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on Friday night, just in time to
catch the town's massive New Year's Eve crowds.
The audience stayed on its feet for
the entire 90 minute show, dancing to airbrushed versions of the
32-year-old Spears' top hits, including "Toxic" and "I'm A Slave 4 U."
The young-for-Vegas crowd was there
for the spectacle, which included acrobatics, a ring of fire, confetti,
and a frequently airborne Spears.
The Grammy-winning singer will
perform 50 shows each in 2014 and 2015. She is performing in a
7,000-seat theater that has been shrunken to 4,500 seats by closing
the balcony.
