Britney Spears in Vegas bidding war

Two rival Las Vegas hotels have offered Britney Spears a residency, following news that she was close to agreeing to a $100 million deal with the Caesars chain.

By agreeing to a deal, Britney would perform a complete live show several times a week for hotel guests, much like fellow songstress Celine Dion, whose Vegas residency is worth $100 million.

However, it's reported that the former 'X Factor' USA judge could be potentially asking for an even bigger fee than Celine, expecting to be a bigger draw.

Meanwhile, friends of the 31-year-old pop superstar have expressed concern about how Britney - who last week announced she had split from fiancé Jason Trawick - would cope with the demanding schedule of a residency.

A source said: "I'm not sure just how good an idea Vegas is for Britney right now. If she can't handle 'The X Factor' - how will she be able to perform five days a week in Vegas? She's a homebody, she loves her sons and has her daily routine. At this time, she may need to concentrate on her health and happiness - not rebuilding her career.

"At ['X Factor'] auditions, Jason would calmly escort Britney by the hand back and forth to her seat during breaks. He was there for her."
