Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey, the best-selling female artist of all time, is once again bringing her dazzling holiday magic to the Las Vegas Strip. From November 28 to December 13 Mariah Carey will headline a festive 10-show residency titled “Mariah Carey’s Christmastime in Las Vegas” at Dolby Live at Park MGM, transforming the venue into a glittering winter wonderland filled with timeless hits, sparkle, and her legendary vocals.

A Career of Record-Breaking Firsts

Born in Huntington, New York, in 1969, Mariah Carey burst onto the music scene in 1990 with her self-titled debut album, which produced four consecutive No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 – a feat never before achieved by a debut artist. Her five-octave vocal range, whistle register, and melismatic style quickly set her apart, earning her the nickname “Songbird Supreme.”

Throughout the 1990s, Mariah Carey dominated the charts with albums like Music Box (1993), Daydream (1995), and Butterfly (1997), blending pop, R&B, and hip-hop influences. Her collaborations with artists like Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Jay-Z helped redefine the sound of mainstream pop and paved the way for genre-blending hits. Mariah Carey holds the record for the most Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles by a solo artist with 19 in total, 18 of which she wrote herself.

Her 2005 comeback album, The Emancipation of Mimi, was a cultural reset, spawning hits like “We Belong Together,” which Billboard named the Song of the Decade. Mariah Carey’s influence spans generations, and her music continues to resonate with fans worldwide.

Mariah Carey – The Queen of Christmas

While Mariah Carey’s catalog is packed with chart-toppers, her holiday music has become a cultural phenomenon. Her 1994 album Merry Christmas features the now-iconic “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” a perennial favorite that reclaims the No. 1 spot on charts every December. The song has become one of the best-selling singles in history and earned Mariah Carey the unofficial title of “Queen of Christmas.”

Mariah Carey’s holiday concerts are more than performances, they’re immersive experiences. With elaborate staging, festive costumes, and a setlist that blends Christmas classics with her biggest hits, Mariah Carey’s holiday shows are a celebration of joy, nostalgia, and vocal brilliance.

Christmastime in Las Vegas: What to Expect

Mariah Carey’s upcoming residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM marks her return to the venue following her critically acclaimed Celebration of Mimi shows in 2024 and 2025. This new run will feature 10 performances from November 28 through December 13.

Fans can expect a setlist that includes holiday staples like “O Holy Night,” “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” and of course, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Mariah Carey also weaves in fan favorites like “Fantasy,” “Hero,” and “Vision of Love,” offering a career-spanning showcase wrapped in seasonal sparkle.

Giving Back with Camp Mariah

In true holiday spirit, Mariah Carey and Live Nation Las Vegas will donate $1 from every ticket sold to The Fresh Air Fund’s Camp Mariah, a summer program for children ages 11–15. Campers explore career interests through classes in film, photography, fashion, culinary arts, and more. Mariah Carey has supported the program for decades, and it remains a cornerstone of her philanthropic efforts.

A New Era: “Here for It All”

In addition to her Vegas residency, Mariah Carey is gearing up for the release of her 16th studio album, Here for It All, dropping September 26, 2025. The album marks Mariah Carey’s first full-length project in seven years and features singles like “Type Dangerous” and “Sugar Sweet,” both of which she performed during her show-stopping medley at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards.

The new album promises collaborations with artists like Anderson .Paak, Kehlani, and the Clark Sisters, blending gospel, R&B, and pop in a way only Mariah Carey can. It’s a testament to her continued evolution as an artist and her ability to stay relevant in a constantly shifting musical landscape.

A Timeless Icon

Mariah Carey’s impact on music is immeasurable. With over 200 million records sold, five GRAMMY Awards, and countless other accolades, she remains one of the most decorated and influential artists of all time. Her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, became a No. 1 New York Times bestseller, offering fans a candid look at her life, artistry, and resilience.

Whether she’s belting out a ballad, dazzling in sequins, or spreading holiday cheer, Mariah Carey continues to captivate audiences with her voice, charisma, and authenticity. Mariah Carey’s upcoming Vegas residency is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of a legacy that continues to shine brighter than ever.

So this holiday season, if you’re looking for magic, music, and a little bit of glitter, Mariah Carey at Park MGM is the place to be.
