Britney Spears is close to extending her Las Vegas residency.
The 'Perfume' singer, whose show 'Piece of Me' at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino has been a huge success, has reportedly been offered $12 million to continue performing until 2016.
According to New York Daily News, the pop star is close to securing a deal with Ceasers Entertainment, the parent company of Planet Hollywood, to stay on at the venue.
Ceasers Palace President, Gary Selesner, said: "Britney Spears has been a great success for the company and will be extended, if she wants to do it, and I cannot see why not.
"She has been filling the place every night, and she is enjoying it and is in good health."
The 32-year-old star was scheduled to perform 50 shows per year in 2014 and 2015 as part of the initial deal, earning her an impressive $30 million, and Gary admitted it was a "gamble" in the beginning but he is now happy with how popular the show is and wants her to return for further dates.
The show, directed by Baz Halpin, runs for 90 minutes and began on December 27 at the 4,600-capacity Axis theatre, which is booked by Live Nation.
Stars including Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez and Katy Perry are among those who have been to see Britney's popular show, which celebrates her career in music.
It has also been reported that 'Piece of Me' is outselling Elton John and Celine Dion's Las Vegas shows.

Bryan Cranston thinks Godzilla would be "horrible" at making crystal meth.
The 'Breaking Bad' actor, who sold the drug as Walter 'Heisenberg' White in the series, joked about the monster not being able to make it at the premiere of his new movie at the Odeon in London's Leicester Square tonight (11.05.14).
Bryan exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I think Godzilla would be horrible at making crystal meth. You've got to be very refined to be able to make it. He's a monster, you know, they have a very destructive nature."
The 58-year-old actor, who stars alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen in the film directed by Gareth Edwards, also claims his character, nuclear scientist Joe Brody, is more like him than Walter White or Hal, who he played in 'Malcolm In The Middle'.
He said: " They're all pretty different. I'm not like hal and I'm nothing like Walter White. Maybe this guy in this movie is most like me."
Co-star Elizabeth admitted she hasn't seen many episodes of 'Breaking Bad' and finds it surprising how fans Brian has.
She said: "It's amazing how many fans he has. I don't watch it 'Breaking Bad', I've seen like three episodes. I feel like I'm the only human that doesn't watch it."
The 25-year-old actress also claims her and co-star Aaron have a "playful" relationship on set and she's looking forward to working with him more on 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'.
She said: "We didn't actually have many scenes together in this so it's nice to get to know each other better working on 'Avengers'. We definitely have that playful, stupid relationship."
'Godzilla' is in cinemas from May 16.

Dr Dre could be set to become hip-hop's first billionaire.
The rapper and producer is in talks to sell his Beats Electronics headphones business to technology giant Apple for $3.2billion, making him the richest hip hop star in the world, according to the Financial Times.
In a recent article in Forbes magazine, Dre ranked as the second wealthiest rapper, behind Puff Daddy, whose estimated worth is $700million, but the new deal would put him ahead of the star, who has earned money from his Revolt TV business as well as music.
Dre prematurely described himself as "the first billionaire in hip hop" in a video posted on Instagram, which has since been taken down, as the Forbes.com claims he would only cash in on his 20 to 25 per cent stake in the business, meaning his net worth increase from $550million to about $800million.
The 49 year old transformed into a business mogul in 2008 when he launched Beats by Dr Dre with music producer and friend Jimmy Lovine and the pair will soon make a huge investment if they decide to sell the business.
Third on the rich list of hip-hop stars in Jay Z, who is worth an impressive $520million, thanks to his Rocawear clothing line, tours, and Roc Nation record label.

Kim Kardashian wore white for her bridal shower today (10.05.14).
The reality TV star, who is set to marry rapper Kanye West later this month, chose an elegant white strapless dress and pearls for the celebration this afternoon in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
The 33-year-old beauty was seen decked out in white and wearing a pair of silver stilettos for the occasion as she met with friends and family ahead of her big day at a hotel.
Kim's mother, Kris Jenner, also opted for white and sister Khloe posted a number of photobooth images on her Instagram account of the gathering, which was filmed for their E! reality show 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians'.
Kim and Kanye's gold wedding invite has also reportedly leaked on the internet, which have been sent to guests.
The invite reads: "The honour of your presence is requested at the marriage of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West."
The date is spelt out: "Saturday, the twenty-fourth of May, two thousand and fourteen. Details upon arrival. Black tie."
The card doesn't give many details away about where the nuptials will take place, apart from giving the location as "Paris, France."
Guests have also been told to wear a different outfit for a dinner on the Friday night before the pair's big day.
The invite reads: "On the eve of our marriage please join us for a dinner. Friday, the twenty-third of May at six o'clock in the evening. Paris, France. Cocktail attire."
Kim, who has 10-month-old daughter North with Kanye, 36, recently rubbished claimed the pair had already married and revealed that the wedding - unlike her marriage to Kris Humphries which lasted just 72 days in 2011 - will not be shown on her reality show 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians.'

Selena Gomez reportedly "doesn't care" who Justin Bieber dates.
The 21-year-old pop star and her on/off boyfriend have called time on their relationship once again and the 'Baby' hitmaker has posted a number of photographs on Instagram with model Yovanna Ventura, who is rumoured to be his new girlfriend, but Selena isn't bothered about their romance.
A source told HollywoodLife: "Selena doesn't care who Justin is dating. All she knows is she's done with him and his immature behaviour. He's all talk and no action."
Eyewitnesses apparently saw Justin and Yovanna together looking cosy in Vegas at the recent Floyd Mayweather fight and later on Venice Beach and Justin has previously been linked to Selena's former friend Kylie Jenner.
The source added: "If he wants to date [a] teenager like Kylie or a wannabe model, then let him. She's done and moving on from the broken promises and drama."
Meanwhile, sources also say Justin is not over Selena and his new 18-year-old love is "just a rebound".
An insider said: "Selena treated him like a regular person but all of these other girls treat him like a God and let him do whatever. I think they make Justin feel like he's in control and calling the shots."
Selena and Justin, 20, were spotted together at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival last month in California but have since had a "huge fight" and have called it quits.

Ellen Page has called the sexual abuse allegations against 'X-Men' director Bryan Singer "super disturbing."
The actress, who stars in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past', has spoken out about Bryan's ordeal, after two men accused him of abuse when they were teenagers.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the star called the claims "super, super disturbing" and said: "I guess the truth will come out in the way that it does, but it's hard to hear about someone being in that situation, someone you like working with."
But whatever happens in the case, she said: "I do think that there's a systematic issue of people in places of power manipulating and abusing young people."
Bryan, 48, was hit with a second sexual abuse lawsuit this month after a man accused him of allegedly abusing him at a London hotel with Broadway producer Gary Goddard when he was just 17.
The unnamed man's lawyer, Jeff Herman, claims that his client, now in his 20s, had decided to take legal action after reading Michael F. Egan's similar claims last month.
The 31 year old recently alleged he had been made to perform sex acts on the filmmaker at the age of 15 during a Californian house party after being plied with drugs and alcohol.
Bryan and his attorney, Marty Singer, who is no relation to him, vehemently deny the accusations and say they have proof the Hollywood star wasn't present when Egan claims he was abused.
Gary's legal representatives also strenuously deny the claims, insisting they are "totally untrue".
