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.
