Britney Spears to get Las Vegas key, "Britney Day"

Caesars Entertainment says pop star Britney Spears will get a key to the Las Vegas Strip and celebrate with her own dedicated day.

The Vegas-based casino giant announced Thursday that it would host "Britney Day" on Nov. 5.

Caesars says that starting at 8 a.m., the first 100 people who prove that they, too, are named Britney will get two tickets to Spears' "Piece of Me" show at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino and a ride aboard the High Roller observation wheel.

Britney excitedly tweeted about the event:

The star's Vegas residency has been quite a success so far. E! reported Spears now makes an estimated $1 million a week there.

The announcement follows reports that Caesars is talking with pop icon Jennifer Lopez to also perform at Planet Hollywood. A Caesars spokeswoman says it hasn't made any offer to Lopez.

Clark County has handed out 10 "keys" to the Strip so far.
