Mariah Carey Announces Las Vegas Residency Deal With Caesars Palace
Posted on Thu Jan 15th, 2015 10:10am PDT By X17 Staff
Mariah Carey appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this morning and revealed that she's the latest artist to sign a residency deal at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace!
"This is a special event for me," Mariah told Ellen. "I have to hope that the fans will enjoy this because I’m gonna be performing, which was kind of inspired by my album Number 1’s, and this is now the updated version with 18 of them. I’ve never done this before. Some of these songs I’m like 'Really, I’m gonna do this again, okay?'"
No one knows just how much the 44-year-old pop diva is getting paid for her gig, but you can bet it's a small fortune. Britney Spears has been one of the resident artists at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino for over a year now, and she was reportedly paid $30 million to extend her show through 2017. In August of 2014, Celine Dion postponed her residency at Caesars to care for her husband, who has been battling cancer, but until that point she was earning a whopping $476,000 per show.
"Mariah Carey #1s" will launch on May 6 and run May 9, 10, 13, 16, 17, 20, 23 and 24, and July 8, 11, 12, 15, 18, 19, 22, 25, and 26. Tickets cost anywhere from $55 to $250. Will YOU go to her show?
