It's basically the same profit margins as a tour with a fraction of the work

She'd be crazy not to

Exactly! Her and michael are both now billionaire venture capitalists so why would anyone be surprised at all??? Of course she will

Idk, It's britney who is considered to have changed the whole stigma that was around having a Vegas residency for artists and brought younger crowds to vegas, most of the artists before her were considered to be nostalgia acts from the 60s and 70s with dwindling fanbases.

She constantly said she wanted to go back to Vegas, she really loves it there. Especially if she plans to have a kid soon, it makes total sense. I’m just glad that she proved having a residency doesn’t mean she stops releasing new smash albums and going on ambitious tours. TCB already proved she can sell out stadiums after a Vegas gig. Her going back to Vegas after a huge new era and new tour won’t do anything negative to her reputation. I’m not currently planning on going the US right now but when I can go back I would totally see her in Vegas again she was amazing.

I would be thrilled to see J&P return to Vegas, but I’d love even more to see her do an intimate show/event in New York (jazz or otherwise) in New York on Broadway like Bruce Springsteen did.

I disagree. Britney helped bring in younger crowds, but didn't change the perception of Vegas Residencies being something you did as an artist when you had career issues or were an older act like you said. 

Gaga doing it off the back of Shallow & ASIB's success changed the narrative and perception that Vegas residencies weren't for currently successful artists. 

Britney made the crowds younger. Gaga made the concept "cool". 

IDKKKK, almost every mainstream artist was doing a residency after britney made it cool to have one.

Between Britney's first residency in 2013 and Gaga's Enigma in 2019 the only big name who started a residency was Bruno Mars in 2016. 

Otherwise in that period we had the choice of: 
Celine (2011-2019)
Elton (2011-2018)
(Britney in 2013 onwards)
Reba (2015-2017)
Pitbull (2015-2019)
JLO (2017-2019)
Backstreet Boys (2017-2019)
Gwen Stefani (2018-2021)
Ricky Martin (2017-2018)
Cher (2017-2020)

All mainstream acts - that isn't whats being debated - but literally none of these acts were doing Vegas residencies while being at a particularly strong moment in their career.
Celine/Elton/Reba/Cher were all there for the typically older Vegas crowds and are all legacy acts.
Pitbull/JLO/Backstreet Boys/Gwen Stefani/Ricky Martin were all trying to capture millenial crowds and none of them were doing particularly strongly with their careers at that moment in time. 

So as per my point - you can see from Britney's successful start in 2013 that Vegas shifted to try and bring in more millenials as the generation was fully of age at that point to be a financial target for Vegas. 
But the image of residencies being lesser products for acts who were struggling didn't really shift. They didn't become "cool". They didn't become something the industry saw as good PR for viable acts. It was after Gaga turned up with her ability to give anything an artistic and forward thinking spin that artists started going to Vegas and talking about putting on bigger & better shows than they could possibly tour.
