This winter Britney Spears is packing her bags for Vegas!

Spears has a contract for a 2-year residency at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. Details in her contract call for 48 shows a year at Planet Hollywood, where she will be earning $310,000 per show. According to the TMZ, Spears will be earning about $15 million per year, and projected sales for each show are estimated at $508,514.
