It’s finally official: Britney Spears will headline at Planet Hollywood on a two-year residency deal. “Britney: Piece of Me” will play 48 dates over the period, earning a reported $310,000 per show. Tickets are on sale for the first 16 dates, which will be spaced out between Dec. 27 and Feb. 22. They’re priced from $59 to $179. The show’s announcement was made in grand style on “Good Morning America,” and there may be more to come.
The latest rumor has David Bowie in talks with Caesars Palace to join the rotation that currently consists of Celine Dion, Elton John, Rod Stewart and Shania Twain.

>> Tastes of the towns: Here’s a good idea for Monday Night Football. Palazzo and South Point are serving food at their MNF parties that comes from the cities of the competing teams. For example, Monday’s game will feature fish tacos for the Oakland Raiders and lamb burgers for the Denver Broncos. Get ’em for just $5 at South Point, while they’re $7-$16 at the fancier party in Lagasse’s Stadium at Palazzo.
>> Dogs only: The tradition of serving dollar dogs and beers during football games at Station casinos is no more. The hot dogs are still a buck, and they’re good ones with onions and kraut on the side, but beers have skyrocketed to $3.50.
QUESTION: I’ve heard there’s a hangover-remedy shop or some such on the Strip. Do you have details?
ANSWER: A small treatment center called REVIV has opened in The Underground at MGM Grand. Developed by a group of emergency-room physicians and designed to treat hangovers and excess stress, REVIV offers various hydration therapies, administered intravenously or orally, in a “spa-like atmosphere” staffed by a team of doctors, paramedics and nurses.
Treatments start at $99.
