I know that every "new" star plays here as well...but they only offer the residency gigs to stars who have a big enough fan base to pull a crowd every night.
I think that's why Britney only does 48 nights a YEAR.

She doesn't have the kind of multi-generational fan base that Celine, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Cher, and some of the other older singers do.
They are able to pack the house every night because they get fans from over the decades. Whereas the newer stars would only have the young demographic (which means that unless they are 21 or over they can't drink and spend money in the casino...and even the ones who are over 21 but still not very old don't usually have much money to spend as the middle age people do).
Anyway, that's my theory.
