The residency is scheduled to begin in December 2018 and Gaga can hardly contain her excitement.
"It has been a life-long dream of mine to play Las Vegas," she said in a statement announcing the shows.
"It's the land of Elvis, Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra, the Rat Pack, Elton John, Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli."
"I am humbled to be a part of a historical lineup of performers, and to have the honour of creating a new show unlike anything Vegas has ever seen before."
According to Variety, the star looks set to earn over $75m during the 74-day residency.
The 31-one-year has spent most of 2017 touring her latest album, Joanne, though she had to postpone some dates after experiencing "severe physical pain" arising from the medical condition fibromyalgia.
