In case you missed it, the best-selling female artist of all time has performed three completely different recurring concerts at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in recent years. The Butterfly Returns, returning to the Strip in February, finds Mariah Carey performing the songs she and her fans love most. It's a successor to her original #1 to Infinity concerts at the same property, in which she reeled off all 18 of her iconic No. 1 hits.

The third—All I Want for Christmas Is You—is part of Carey's annual holiday tour, which touches down at Caesars this week. That musical celebration typically includes Christmas classics and several of Carey's own holiday hits. Elaborate decorations and special events always turn the Las Vegas Strip into a winter wonderland, but it's not really Christmas in Vegas until Mariah hits the stage.
"It's really coming from the place of a kid, just loving Christmas so much. There's just no greater feeling or emotion than having that day," she recently told Variety, explaining the festive spirit behind the show and the inspiration for its record-breaking eponymous single. "Everybody asks me what the secret behind [my song is] and ... it's because I truly love Christmas. I might as well work in the North Pole. I legitimately have that much Christmas spirit."
MARIAH CAREY: ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU November 29 & 30, 8 p.m., $56-$251. The Colosseum, 855-234-7469.
