Gossip: Madonna to sign with Vegas casino
British tabloids are reporting that Madonna has been contacted by an unnamed, Las Vegas casino for a five year, $1 billion agreement.
Why a British tabloid is keeping up with Sin City’s entertainment, I have no idea. But I’m not the only one who’s skeptical. The Las Vegas Review-Journal met with a local entertainment agent that said even if the offer was legit, that the “number is double inflated.”
According to pollstar.com’s math, “if Madonna made a deal with say, the 4,298-capacity Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace, she could eke out $750 million over five years if she averaged $200 per ticket and performed four or five nights per week, 50 weeks out of the year.”
Not only does the agent not think she’d agree to work for 50 weeks (two weeks short of a year), but the $200 ticket average is also way more than competing Vegas acts Celine Dion and Garth Brooks.
