Mariah Carey kicked off her brand new Las Vegas residency, ‘The Celebration of Mimi,’ in seismic style last night (April 12).
Housed at Dolby Live at Park MGM, the spectacular show toasts the anniversary of the legend’s blockbuster 2005 album, ‘The Emancipation of Mimi.’
Fittingly then, the diva delivered dynamite showings of beloved anthems from the LP such as ‘We Belong Together,’ ‘Fly Like a Bird,’ and ‘It’s Like That,’ as well as rarer gems like ‘Circles’ and ‘Your Girl.’
With a catalog as colossal as Carey’s, it was a given that additional classics would be sprinkled into the set. As such, revelers were also treated to showings of ‘Emotions,’ ‘Honey,’ ‘Heartbreaker,’ and ‘Vision of Love.’
As reported, the residency has been extended into the summer due to huge demand.
Check out highlights from launch night after the jump…

Gorgeous just like Diva 💅🏻 ain’t no other woman can compare with her. Not even her lesser Crackney hoeston
Whoever Crackney hoeston is I hope she haunt you for the rest of your miserable life.
N****
Even as a hologram Whitney looks better than Mariah crackney b****.
MC sings better when she’s skinny / healthier. Obviously not as well as in her prime, but this will do. She definitely could have another successful era with the right material. And no, not anymore Christmas stuff please
When it comes to ADELE, It is totally opposite. She sings better when she was FAT and BIG.
Did she do the whole TEOM album ?
Mine Again, Joy Ride… curious to hear these live.
OMG the setlist is incredible!
Circles, your girl, baby doll, breakdown, LOOKING IN!!!
MC is bringing it big time, it’s any R&B lovers dream come true & just right on time, you go Mariah!!
I C O N I C L E G E N D 🔥🔥🔥🔥
She will forever be an icon, a legend ❤️❤️🔥
I see the setlist is from an era to other era. Queen Taylor’s Era Tour impact.
Mimisha sounds great! She lost the vocals for a minute, but it seems like they are back on deck. I’m here for it. Go, girl!
bet she lip sync like new year;s eve. I hope she didn’t dodge singing the words while performancing fantasy this time.
Love that she’s singing some Emancipation material for the first time, including the HARD songs!!! I love that she’s showing the fans and haters (which sometimes include her own fans) that the voice REMAINS when it’s rested and ready to show out.
If Whitney Houston had. a hologram tour in Vegas right now. She would out sell Mariah Las Vegas show. She not going no mutha fukin where.
Whitney’s hologram is worth more $$$$$$$$$$$$$ than Beyonce and Mariah.
It would have been the only time Whitney showed up on time, was not high, and her voice didnt sound dreadful
Whitney was always on time! Her professionalism is notable. Please stop the lies.
Your a f****** liar.

IF there was such a tour. 😂 i wonder why there isn’t one… 😂
There’s a scrapped hologram performance of Christina A and hologram Whitney on The Voice. It’s full leaked footage is on YouTube. Really good actually but still nothing compared to the real queen at the height of her fame.
Great to hear some more MC news outside her Christmas stuff. I do hope she releases another new album. Caution was a bop. If her residency gets extended, it would be good promo to promote her new album too!
