LAS VEGAS, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- U.S. film actress and pop singer Cher has signed on to headline at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years starting May 6.

The performance agreement, which is in partnership with AEG Live, includes approximately 200 shows.

AEG Live described "Cher at The Colosseum" as a spectacle designed exclusively for the 4,300-seat venue.

The show will feature choreography from Doriana Sanchez, state-of-the-art lighting and special effects, and costumes created by famed fashion designer Bob Mackie.

"I started in Vegas at Caesars, so I've come full circle," Cher, 61, said in a statement. "I'm back and I plan to give my fans the best experience yet. I think everybody knows I only do things in a big way."

The Oscar and Emmy Award-winning performer has released more than 25 albums and sold more than 100 million records worldwide in her Grammy-winning solo recording career.

"The fan anticipation leading up to this announcement has been unprecedented," said John Meglen, co-CEO and president of AEG Live/Concerts West. "Cher's talent is legendary around the globe and there is simply no one like her."
