Mariah Carey announces Las Vegas residency

Mariah Carey has confirmed plans to host a Las Vegas residency.

The singer announced the news in an interview that will air today (January 15) on the Ellen Show.

The concerts will take place at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

She said: "I'm going to do my first ever residency in Vegas at Caesars. This is a special event for me.

"And again, I have to hope that the fans will enjoy this cause 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. Hopefully other people will enjoy this. I've never done this before."

The news meanwhile comes after reports suggested Celine Dion will be postponing her residency at Caesars Palace until the end of the year.

She was originally due to return to the show in March after taking time out to care for her ill husband.
