Pop princess Britney Spears will kick off her two-year residency in Las Vegas on Friday, December 27, but a young and hip group of casino industry workers got a sneak peek last night.

The 32-year-old entertainer debuted her 85-minute Britney: Piece of Me show at Planet Hollywood’s The Axis theater Thursday night as a crowd of appreciative Sin City employees showed their appreciation during her final full run-through.

She reportedly flew 30 feet over the stage, thanks to wires, and blasted through nearly two-dozen songs on the 100-foot stage. Sixty video projectors are used to bombard the set with graphic effects during the stage extravaganza that includes lots of costume changes.

Tonight’s opening promises to be a star-studded event as Brit begins the latest chapter in her successful career that began more than two decades ago.

Vegas veteran Holly Madison of Peep Show fame made an interesting observation about Britney’s new Vegas theater act. She said, “Vegas audiences are different from anywhere else. People come in, they’re drunk, they’ve been walking around in the heat all day.” She cautions those planning to take in Piece of Me, “Because of the bottle service, don’t let it get out of control. Pace yourself. It’s a great experience.”
