The pop star has arrived in Las Vegas for her much anticipated opening performance on Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards and has already checked in to the Palms Casino Resort.

Clad in jeans, a white shirt, floppy hat and sunglasses, Spears touched down in Las Vegas on Saturday afternoon with pal Alli Sims and another girlfriend and went straight to the Palms Sky Villa, a luxury suite equipped with pop-up plasma TVs, a rotating bed and views of the Strip. (Sons Sean Preston and Jayden James were spending the weekend in dad Kevin Federline’s care.)

But her arrival didn’t come off without a hitch ? after her flight was forced to circle the Las Vegas airport a few times and her pit stop at the hotel, she was a couple of hours late for rehearsal with illusionist Criss Angel.

Meanwhile, the rest of Vegas is gearing up for the blowout weekend. Friday night Diddy is hosting a pre-awards party at PURE nightclub in Caesars Palace, and Saturday night will bring out the likes of Christina Aguilera, Kanye West, Panic! at the Disco and more.

The showdown has come to Rolling Stone magazine?s cover. Kanye West and 50 Cent are featured on the latest cover of the magazine highlighting the fact that their albums would be dropping on the same date of September 11th in less than a week.

There?s an accompanying article entitled ?Who Will Be the King of Hip Hop?? where 50 pretty much talks Kanye down. 50 says that he had the highest-selling LB of 2003 and his 2005 released was the second-highest-selling album of that year. He goes on to compare Jay-Z?s recent sales to segue into saying that Kanye is merely a worker bee for Jay-Z and that Kanye can never generate as much interest.

Burn!
