If you were planning on taking a trip to Las Vegas sometime in 2018 - and more importantly, if you're a Lady Gaga fan - you might want to put it off until around December.

Gaga is the latest high-profile act to announce a residency in Sin City, which will last for an initial two years and will be held at the city's 5,300-seater MGM Park Theater.

Other acts who have undertaken Vegas residencies in recent years have been Britney Spears, Celine Dion and Elton John.

"It’s the land of Elvis, Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra, the Rat Pack, Elton John, Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli," she said in a press release. "It has been a life-long dream of mine to play Las Vegas. I am humbled to be a part of a historical line-up of performers, and to have the honor of creating a new show unlike anything Vegas has ever seen before.

"I’ll tell you exactly what I told my MGM and Park Theater partners - you can count on this performer always for one thing…I’ll leave my heart on the stage every single night. Thank you to my fans for always believing in me. Meet me in Las Vegas baby, we did it!”

The residency is set to begin in December 2018.
