Britney Spears Day Celebrated in Las Vegas
Published at
Nino Munoz / FOX(LAS VEGAS) — Wednesday was a big day for Britney Spears in Las Vegas. At a ceremony in front of hundreds of fans at the LINQ shopping promenade, she was presented with the key to the Las Vegas Strip, and a Clark County Commissioner read a proclamation declaring it Britney Day.
The ceremony began with dozens of feathered showgirls and dancers performing a tribute to Britney. Spears then took the stage to accept the honors and thank her fans. She then also announced a partnership with online shoe retailer Zappos and the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation, where one dollar of every ticket purchased to her Planet Hollywood show, Piece of Me, goes to NCCF.
After the ceremony, Britney headed to the nearby High Roller — the world’s highest observation wheel — where she was joined on the ride by girls and women who had shown proof that their name was Britney. Any spelling was allowed.
The Planet Hollywood resort also announced 36 new 2015 performances of her show, tickets for which go on sale to the public Saturday. American Express cardholders can get them Thursday, however, and Caesars Entertainment player’s club members can purchase them Friday.
