After wrapping up her Planet Hollywood “Piece of Me” residency at the end of 2017, Britney Spears is back — and working for the competition at the Park MGM’s Park Theater. The new show, aggressively titled “Britney: Domination,” runs for select dates between February and August of 2019 (with more dates to possibly come if it does well, which it will). So far, few details have been released, but expect the show to be a tech-heavy visual spectacle to complement what everyone knows will primarily be a lipsyncing dance exhibition. MGM Resorts calls Spears the “first major pop star to have a Las Vegas residency,” which may be a stretch, but there’s no doubt she opened the door for a new wave of contemporary artists — Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Pitbull, etc. — to cash in with regular gigs in Sin City.
Described as a “journey of transformation,” Kind Heaven will open at The LINQ promenade in November 2019. Guests take a virtual train ride to an immersive environment of sights, sounds, scents, and tastes inspired by the culture of Southeast Asia. Put your cash aside. Wristbands with Yala Coin cryptocurrency will be used to pay for goods and services, including street food inspired by Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong. At The Dispensary, cocktails crafted with spirits and herbs are designed to match the feelings and emotions of customers. The second floor, dubbed The Forest, is a lush environment of trees and temples. The third level is The Sanctuary, inspired by the beauty and spirituality of Nepal and Bhutan. An intimate concert hall will feature rock, hip-hop, reggae, jazz, pop, EDM and rap by Asian performers. The 100,000-square-foot multistory attraction takes full advantage of Hollywood-style film and holographic special effects. The $100 million project is the brainchild of Jane’s Addiction frontman and Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell.
