The residency was confirmed on September 17, 2013, during an interview on ''Good Morning America''. For the announcement, an elaborate stunt was staged in the desert surrounding Las Vegas (costing over $100,000 to produce). Over 1,000 Spears look-a-likes were gathered to perform a card routine, that reportedly could be seen from space. Spears arrived via helicopter and gave an interview to ''Good Morning America''. Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, stated the show is not comparable to previous or current Las Vegas stints.

() I haven't made up my mind. I really love doing the show. It's a lot, a lot of fun but I'm kind of torn right now. I don't really know what I want to do."
