  • My most recent Vegas getaway was for NYE 2016 and now that my sister and I are now fully contributing working members of society the vacation budget suddenly got quite bigger. We decided to do our first Vegas concert as a family - and for my sister, it was an opportunity to check out that hugely hyped Britney concert. Though I enjoy a few pieces of Britney's earlier hits that were recorded before her public meltdown it was never a priority for me to see Britney whenever I was in Vegas. The No1DP could care less about her music (he has a preference for Cirque shows) and personally I would rather see Celine over her. So it was not surprising that when I purchased three tickets my credit card got declined. The Ticketmaster website is easy to navigate and purchase tickets. However they have a roundabout way of obtaining tickets electronically. You have your confirmation, which asks how you want the tickets delivered. I got a text message directing me to obtain my tickets then I had to create a Ticketmaster account so that it would load me another window in which I was *finally* able to obtain my tickets. Luckily I prepped everything when I initially purchased the tickets but if you don't have everything prepared before getting to the gate it can be quite the hassle. Around the venue there's places to get various Britney paraphernalia. Of course everything is marked up really high, especially the drinks, which are as expensive as some of the cocktail bars in Vegas. But hey, who says that Vegas is cheap? To fully enjoy the concert let's just get one thing straight: Piece of Me is not really a Britney concert. It's mostly a performance divided up into seven acts. Let's also clear the air and expect to see lip-synching the entire time. I came into the performance fully knowing this and I still enjoyed watching with the major annoyance was with the people in front of me standing like HALF THE TIME, forcing all of us to stand just so we could see Britney perform. As for the song list, the tracks covered evenly span Britney's career. Comparing her later songs to her earlier songs is quite a juxtaposition, as the songs that span the latter half of her career require a lot less singing effort from her. I also felt that the songs mesh in well in the overall seven-act performance, which each act can cover 2-4 songs. For a 90 minute performance she only sings snippets from each of the songs. The highlight of the performance as well as my favorite part are the set pieces. Without going into spoilers my favorite sets are from the "Toxic" act and the "Everytime" act. Those sets are very beautiful and I love how the dancing revolves around the sets. It reminds me of the qualities that are present in a good Cirque show. Though I'm very much a Cirque gal I enjoyed the Britney spectacle for what it is. I can definitely recommend this to Britney fans and for the repeat Vegas visitor who wants to see a newer show.
