New York - Jennifer Lopez, a pop sensation starting in the late 1990s whose career has since matured, will turn her repertoire into a Las Vegas show.

The New York-born star of Puerto Rican heritage announced on Tuesday night that she will start a residency in Las Vegas in January next year, running with breaks through June.

Speaking on talent show American Idol, where she serves as a judge, Lopez said she would be "mixing all aspects of what my fans and I love - dance, hip-hop, Latin.

"It's going to be the show I've always dreamt of creating," she said.

The show - backed by a live band, dancers and special effects - will take place at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, owned by struggling Caesars Entertainment Corp.
