Britney Spears has been all up in our business letting us know know that if we want a Bugatti (or a Maserati), we're going to have to work. And then she calls us a name. However, it seems to be her producers and background dancers that are doing the work when it comes to the video for "Work B**ch!" And, it seems that based on locale, the video might serve as a preview for the pop songstress's forthcoming Las Vegas residency.

"Work" opens in the desert with Spears and a coterie of dancers wearing black leather one-sies and matching knee-high boots. We hesitated to refer to them as "S&M outfits," but then the star of the show busts out a whip and starts giving it to them, so...yeah. S&M outfits. Spears and company carry out a dance routine in the middle of the desert while the third car brand mentioned during the single (a Lamborghini) drives donuts around the stage.

The crew then moves to Las Vegas, where we get to see what may be a hint as to what to expect from Britney's stage show: Spears reveling in a nightclub setting, surrounded by loosely dressed men and women (a scenario that was definitely predicted by advanced press for the residency), Spears dancing on a Vegas rooftop (probably not going to happen during the show), and Spears singing from a pedestal in a swimming pool full of hammerhead sharks (something that would be totally awesome if it were to happen).

The irony in referencing her soon-to-be move to Vegas during the "Work B**ch!" video is that a source has indicated that Spears may in fact lip sync her medley of hits during Vegas performances. Seems like she'd be setting a bad example if she didn't actually work for her guaranteed $15 million paycheck from the shows.
