LAS VEGAS -- Caesars Entertainment Corp. officials say pop star Jennifer Lopez will perform one night only -- New Year's Eve night -- at The Colosseum on the Las Vegas Strip.

The company's Monday announcement said the musical star will perform her greatest hits and feature 25 musicians on stage.

Tickets to the 10:30 p.m. New Year's Eve show dubbed "The Best is Yet to Come" go on sale Tuesday and cost $175.

The news follows reports in October that Lopez was in talks behind-the-scenes to perform at Planet Hollywood, another Caesars Entertainment Corp. casino-hotel. A Caesars spokeswoman said at the time that the company hadn't made an offer to Lopez despite reports to the contrary.
