Mariah Carey heads to Vegas with Caesars Palace residency

Mariah Carey is headed to Vegas.
The 44-year-old songstress announced on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday that she'll kick off a residency at the Caesar Palace's Colosseum on May 6.
"I have to hope that the fans will enjoy this, because I'm going to be performing -- which was kind of inspired by -- my album Number 1's," Carey told the host. "Hopefully, other people will enjoy this. I've never done this before."
Carey's performance will include all 18 of her No. 1 singles form her 14 studio albums.
"Some of this songs are like 'really I'm going to do that one again?'" said the singer, who will be performing tracks from her very first album like "Vision of Love" to "Touch My Body," her most recent No. 1.
Carey will be joining the likes of Britney Spears and Celine Dion, who have also held residencies in Las Vegas hotels.
Tickets for the show are on sale now.
