Sources familiar with the situation tell us ... Britney and her people are talking about establishing residency for the singer in Sin City and are also in talks with one of the hotels to do a "big, nightly show."

We're told the negotiations are with one of the CAESARS group properties, and they have "been wooing her for awhile."

As we first reported ... Britney has cleared the decks by quitting "X Factor" and is in the studio recording her 8th album.

Our sources say there is "a lot of interest" in Britney's camp over a Vegas move, and -- obviously -- a lot of interest on the Vegas side of headlining a show.

Celine Dion scored nearly $100 mil a year for her gig. Our sources think Britney could do even better.

Been saying all along she's an Elvis reincarnate

Britney's "quitting" X-Factor? Sounds more like she's jumping ship before being thrown overboard.

And if she is planning a Vegas show, will this be a music show or a theatre show? Considering the number of backing vocals and lip synching she did on prior tours, it may as well be a theatre production.
