Hero hitmaker Mariah Carey is the next huge pop star to secure a residency on the popular Las Vegas strip.
The 44-year-old singer made the announcement in an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday, saying "Well, I'm going to do my first-ever residency in Vegas at Caesars [Caesars Palace]. This is a special event for me. And again, I have to hope that the fans will enjoy this cause I'm going to be performing, which was kind of inspired by my album 'Number 1's,' and this is now the updated version with 18 of them."
Carey is following in the footsteps of Britney Spears, Elton John, Celine Dion and Rod Stewart, who all had long term deals in Sin City.
