Mariah Carey: Christmastime in Las Vegas at Park MGM 12/2025
Event Category: Concerts
There is no sound more synonymous with the festive season than the unmistakable five-octave voice of Mariah Carey. She is the undisputed Queen of Christmas, and her spectacular Las Vegas residency, Christmastime in Las Vegas, is the ultimate way to usher in the magic of the holidays. This limited-engagement run at Dolby Live transforms the heart of the Strip into a sparkling, theatrical winter wonderland, a lavish, breathtaking production that has become a global holiday tradition.
Mariah Carey – Christmastime Mariah Carey
This is more than just a concert; it is a meticulously crafted, three-act holiday spectacular. From the moment the lights dim and the first notes of the “Sugar Plum Fairy” echo through the unparalleled Dolby Atmos sound system, you are transported into a world of pure Christmas fantasy. Prepare for a dazzling showcase of theatrical staging, multiple extravagant costume changes (each one more glamorous than the last), and a full-scale band and choir that elevate the festive spirit to stratospheric levels.
At the heart of the show is Mariah Carey’s peerless catalog of holiday music. Experience the joyful energy of festive favorites like “Oh Santa!” and “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home),” the timeless gospel power of “Joy to the World,” and the deep, soulful reverence of classics like “Silent Night” and “O Holy Night.” Every note is a reminder of her vocal mastery and her innate ability to infuse every song, new or traditional, with a profound emotional connection.
And, of course, no Christmastime celebration is complete without the song that changed the holidays forever: “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” The anticipation in the theater is palpable as the moment approaches, and the subsequent explosion of sound and light when the iconic song begins is an unforgettable, unifying experience, a moment of pure, collective joy that solidifies her reign as the holiday icon. As this beloved song celebrates a major milestone, seeing it performed live by Mariah Carey, who created the modern Christmas soundtrack, is a legendary musical moment you will cherish forever.
Beyond the holiday classics, Mariah treats her devoted fans (the “Lambs”) to a powerful medley of her career-defining pop and R&B smashes. The performance weaves together hits like the anthemic “Hero,” the classic dance-pop energy of “Fantasy,” and the soulful, chart-topping brilliance of “We Belong Together.” This duality, the dazzling festive showmanship combined with the profound impact of her pop legacy, makes Christmastime in Las Vegas an incredibly rich and satisfying event for every type of music lover.
This residency is a chance to feel the true spirit of the season through the lens of one of music history’s greatest voices. It’s a night of glamour, heartfelt music, and dazzling visuals that perfectly captures the celebratory essence of Las Vegas and the magic of Christmas. To sweeten the experience, Mariah Carey and Live Nation Las Vegas are donating $1 from every ticket purchased to The Fresh Air Fund’s Camp Mariah, making your evening of entertainment a gift that gives back to children in need.
Mariah Carey requires a stage and sound system that can handle her extraordinary vocal range and the massive scale of her production, and there is no better venue on the Strip than Dolby Live at Park MGM. This intimate, 5,200-seat amphitheater is a revolutionary performance space designed to deliver an unparalleled sensory experience.
The defining feature of the venue is its custom-designed, fully integrated Dolby Atmos sound system. With over 400 speakers strategically placed throughout the space, the audio is calibrated to deliver stunning, 360-degree sound. This is a sound you don’t just hear, it’s a sound you feel. For a voice as layered and nuanced as Mariah Carey’s, the technology ensures that every whistle tone, every vocal run, and every soaring crescendo is delivered with crystal clarity, transforming the concert into a truly immersive sonic journey.

This close proximity ensures that whether you’re in the Orchestra section or the Balcony, you remain connected to the stage, making every performance feel like a personal command from the Queen herself. The venue further enhances the experience with a massive 4K LED video wall and cutting-edge projection-mapping capabilities, turning the stage into a dynamic, shifting backdrop that perfectly complements the “winter wonderland” theme.
