LAS VEGAS, NV (Jan. 15, 2015) – Mariah Carey, the iconic chanteuse and
best-selling female artist of all time with over 200 million records sold,
is coming to Las Vegas with a headlining residency at The Colosseum at
Caesars Palace. For the first time ever, she will perform all 18 of her timeless
and beloved Number One Hits together in one concert. Designed exclusively
for The Colosseum, the production will also feature fan-favorite
album cuts, never-before-performed selections and many more musical
surprises.
Mariah announced the exciting news today on The Ellen DeGeneres
Show, where she surprised the entire studio audience with tickets to her
Las Vegas show and a hotel stay at Caesars Palace.
“I have so many ideas for the show that I’m currently working on and
am excited to perform all of my #1 singles together for the first time
and others that are very close to my heart,” said Mariah. “My songs are
the soundtrack of my life and I can’t wait to share them with my fans on
stage!”
“Vision of Love,” “Hero,” “Fantasy,” “We Belong Together” and “Touch
My Body” to name a few, are among Mariah’s 18 songs to reach #1 on
the Billboard Hot 100, a feat that has not been achieved by any other
solo artist in music history.
In celebration of Mariah’s groundbreaking record, and in tandem with
the concert series, Mariah is working on a new edition of her worldwide
best-selling album “#1’s.” Set to include all 18 of her number one hits,
along with newly recorded music, the album will be released later this
year.
“Revisiting these songs for the show, working on the updated compilation
and creating new music has really let me reconnect with my songs
and I hope my fans will enjoy the experience,” said Mariah.
“As a consummate songwriter, producer and internationally-renowned
performer with a remarkable string of number one hits, Mariah brings
a unique presence to Las Vegas that speaks to so many fans across the
globe,” said John Nelson, Sr. Vice President of AEG Live, Las Vegas. “AEG
Live and Caesars Palace are honored to be part of this collaboration and
proudly welcome Mariah to
her new residence at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, home of the
greatest entertainers in the world.”
“Over the past nearly 50 years, Caesars Palace has served as home to the
most celebrated entertainers in history. With the addition of one of the
world’s most iconic artists, Mariah Carey, The Colosseum now offers more
variety than ever before with its lineup of resident headliners,” said Gary
Selesner, Caesars Palace regional president. “We look forward to welcoming
Mariah and continuing our rich tradition of shining the spotlight on
