Mariah Carey has officially kicked off the holiday season in Las Vegas with her new residency, Mariah Carey’s Christmastime in Las Vegas, at Dolby Live at Park MGM. The residency, which began on December 1, marks Carey’s first-ever Christmas residency on the Strip. Announced in mid-September, this limited-run production follows several years of nationwide holiday tours and her previous non-seasonal show, The Celebration of Mimi Live in Las Vegas.
Carey’s residency is a festive celebration of her unparalleled holiday legacy, with a show that promises to deliver a glittering, joy-filled spectacle. The residency is running through December 13, with several more performances scheduled in the coming days.
Opening night was a stunning success, transforming the venue into a winter wonderland. Carey wowed the crowd with a setlist that blends classic Christmas standards, modern holiday hits, and some of her most beloved tracks. Fans were treated to iconic moments, including a smooth rendition of “Fantasy” and a high-energy medley of hits like “Honey,” “Heartbreaker,” “Emotions,” and “Hero.” Of course, the night closed with her holiday anthem, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
