Singer Mariah Carey, the most successful female recording artist in history with more than 175 million albums sold worldwide, will perform four shows at The Pearl in the Palms. Hotel mogul George Maloof pulled off the incredible coup as Beyonce arrives in town for four shows starting tonight, and the official news of Mariah’s concert dates was confirmed within the past hour.

Mariah will appear in the up close and personal, once-in-a-lifetime concerts Sept. 11-12 and Oct. 9-10. Tickets are $129 to $254 and will go on sale Aug. 8. Mariah’s shows will be the first of its kind and surround the highly anticipated release of her new album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which features the current single “Obsessed” written and produced by Mariah, The Dream and Tricky Stewart, who are responsible for the majority of tracks on the new album.

Memoirs is set for a Sept. 15 release, so we’ll get an advance listen here in Las Vegas with her two September shows! Memoirs is the 12th studio album of Mariah’s career and is the follow-up to her platinum-selling album E=MC² released in April last year.

From Mariah’s last album, “Touch My Body” made history when it became her 18th #1 Hot 100 hit, surpassing Elvis Presley’s record. She is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 51 years of the Hot 100 with the potential to surpass The Beatles’ all-time high of 20 No. 1 hits.
