Oct 22, 2014 4:40 PM UTC Jenny from the Block may soon be Jenny on the Strip. TMZ [reports](http://www.tmz.com/2014/10/22/jennifer-lopez-britney-spears-las-vegas-planet-hollywood-contract-money/) that the flygirl-cum-actress-cum-diva was spotted over the weekend with her manager at Britney Spears’ _Piece of Me_ show and Shania Twain’s _Still the One_ performance — possibly doing research for her own iteration of the Vegas residency. Though there’s no word yet from J.Lo herself, a stint in Sin City wouldn’t be an altogether surprising move at this stage in her career. Where a Las Vegas residency once spelled doom for fading musicians’ careers, today it’s a normal — not to mention enormously lucrative — gig in the rotation for megastars like Madonna, Elton John, and the ever-in-love Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. And while performers certainly skew middle-aged and older, Vegas dealmakers appear to be consciously appealing to younger crowds, opening up residencies to DJs like Deadmau5 and Tiesto. (Though Lopez is middle-aged herself at 45, her fan base tends to skew younger than that of the Dions and the Meatloafs and the Chers.) A sojourn in Las Vegas spells a few things for an artist like J.Lo: stability, breathing room, and major cash. Residencies are essentially like a tour, minus the grueling travel schedule. They often consist of a handful of shows each week for four or five months, which would leave time for the other projects in Lopez’s multi-hyphenate career: judging _American Idol_, managing her lifestyle brand, and overseeing the foundation she started with her sister Lydia to improve health care access in under-served communities. It would also allow Lopez some time to regroup from her 2014 album _A.K.A.,_ which disappointed with the lowest sales of her eight studio albums, selling just 60,000 copies in the U.S. She could — and likely _would_ — return to some of the more crowd-pleasing hits from her earlier career as she mulls over where to go next. And if none of these reasons is enough, then the six-figure nightly intake stands a solid chance at sealing the deal. Even after a tumultuous decade for Britney Spears and a rough run with her most recent album, _Britney Jean_, the onetime chart-topper is now raking in more than $300,000 per show, on track to gross more than $30 million over two years. Her love may not cost a thing, but J. Lo’s turn on the Vegas stage most certainly would. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3531677/jennifer-lopez-las-vegas-residency/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3531677/jennifer-lopez-las-vegas-residency/"},"headline":"Yes, Jennifer Lopez Should Do a Las Vegas Residency","datePublished":"2014-10-22T16:40:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:56:48.545Z","description":"The American Idol judge could rake in millions with a steady gig in Vegas","url":"https://time.com/3531677/jennifer-lopez-las-vegas-residency/","keywords":["celebrities","Music","Las Vegas","Jennifer Lopez"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt865ba8afb5f1b2e7/69876241e20a87a9b5a829da/jennifer-lopez1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt865ba8afb5f1b2e7/69876241e20a87a9b5a829da/jennifer-lopez1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Variety's 2014 Power Of Women Event In LA Presented By Lifetime","caption":"Variety's 2014 Power Of Women Event In LA Presented By Lifetime","creditText":"Jon Kopaloff—FilmMagic/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3531677/jennifer-lopez-las-vegas-residency/","name":"Yes, Jennifer Lopez Should Do a Las Vegas Residency"}}]}] ```
