Kanye West Could Easily Beat Celine J-Lo & Brit in Vegas ... But

Kanye West turned down an offer that could have made him the highest paid entertainer on the Las Vegas Strip ... making Celine, Britney and J-Lo look like CASINO LOUNGE acts.


we learned the offer would have lined his pocket to the tune of $4.5 MILLION ... for just 9 days of work.  Yet we're told he walked away from it!

According to the written offer -- obtained by TMZ -- Yeezus would have performed 3 shows a week for 3 weeks at the Axis at Planet Hollywood.  For that he would have scored a whopping $500,000 per show.

At that rate, he could have made more per show than J-Lo, who has an offer for $350K per show ... Britney, who all told makes around $475K/show ... and Celine Dion, who currently earns the most at $476K per concert.

Beats the dollar slots.
