Mariah Carey is parking it in Vegas this yuletide. Instead of the 20-city tours she staged in 2023 and 2024, she’ll only be rocking around Christmas trees on the Dolby Live stage at Park MGM.
The Queen of Christmas announced 10 performances of “Mariah Carey’s Christmastime in Las Vegas” on Monday on Instagram: November 28 and 29, and December 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12 and 13.
“Excited to bring Christmastime to the Dolby Live at Park MGM in Vegas!” she wrote. (Who are we kidding? Her social media person wrote that.)
Carey — the best-selling female artist of all time with more than 200 million records sold — most recently performed in Las Vegas during her “Celebration of Mimi” residency from April 2024 to February 2025.
Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. PT Saturday, Sept. 20 via Ticketmaster. Ticket presales for MGM Rewards members and Live Nation and Ticketmaster customers begin 10 a.m. Wednesday, September 17.
Orchestral Jeezy
Rapper Jeezy will perform his first Las Vegas residency, “TM:101 Live,” in two parts at PH Live at Planet Hollywood. “The Masquerade” will take place on October 31 and November 1 to celebrate Halloween, while “The Nutcracker” goes down December 19 and 21 and features snow and other Christmas effects.
Both halves will feature a 101-piece orchestra. (That’s nearly four times the size of the orchestra he just finished lugging around 23 cities!) The musicians impart the songs from Jeezy’s “Thug Motivation 101” album, celebrating its 20th anniversary, with symphonic arrangements.
Also joining him will be DJ Drama and DJ Ace. (Just how big is that stage?)
Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. PT Friday September 19 via Ticketmaster with presales starting 10 a.m. Wednesday, September 17.
Sammy Not Finished What He Started
Sammy Hagar will return to Dolby Live at the Park MGM for 11 dates spread out over March and September.
The 77-year-old was just at the same theater from April 30 to May 17.
“Those last nine shows were some of the best shows I’ve done in my life,” Hagar said in a statement. “I love this band like no other and can’t wait to do it again.”
That band features fellow former Van Halen alum Michael Anthony on bass, Joe Satriani doing his best Eddie Van Halen, and former John Mellencamp drummer Kenny Aronoff.
The new dates are March 11-12 and Sept. 18-26.
Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. PT Friday, September 19 at Ticketmaster.com — the night before he performs at the iHeartRadio Music Festival at T-Mobile Arena.
