Mariah Carey is bringing her Holiday Bar pop-up to the Las Vegas Strip this season, taking over On The Record at Park MGM for a limited run starting Nov. 28. The ticketed experience will deck the venue in Mariah-themed decorations, offer photo ops and Black Irish–spiked cocktails, and sell exclusive merch and vinyl. Fans can join waitlists now as organizers prepare for a month-long residency on the Strip.
Where And When
As reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Las Vegas outpost is slated to open Nov. 28 at On The Record inside Park MGM. The Neon piece frames the pop-up as part of a national rollout and notes local organizers are planning timed-ticket entries to manage demand.
National Rollout
According to People, the Holiday Bar will also open in Los Angeles (Nov. 13), New York (Nov. 14) and Miami (Nov. 20) as part of a multi-city series produced with Bucket Listers. That story says the experience includes photo ops, a "Letters to Mariah" station and cocktails built around Carey's Black Irish cream.
Tickets And Waitlist
As per Bucket Listers, Las Vegas tickets aren't on sale yet but a city-specific waitlist is open; the listing confirms the event will be held at On The Record at Park MGM and is 21+. The page invites fans to join the waitlist for early-bird presale notifications ahead of the timed-ticket drop.
Why On The Record
On The Record is a music‑themed speakeasy inside Park MGM with a hidden record-store entrance and multiple rooms that lend themselves to immersive experiences, according to Park MGM's venue listing. Its retro, music‑first layout and history of after-show parties make it a logical home for a Mariah-branded pop-up intended to be as much an Instagram setpiece as a bar.
Expect The Mariah Touch
Expect wall-to-wall glitter, Santa's sleigh photo ops, an awards wall and timed plays of Carey's holiday hits while bartenders serve cocktails featuring Black Irish cream, organizers say. As detailed by People, the pop-up will also sell exclusive merchandise and limited-edition vinyl to complete the experience.
What It Means For The Strip
Celebrity pop-ups like this have become a reliable seasonal draw that pushes midweek traffic and creates shareable nights out for hotels and bars. BizBash's coverage of last year's Virgin Hotels/Black Irish pop-ups shows how artist-branded activations can drive short-term revenue boosts and social buzz during the holiday window.
For locals and visitors planning a trip, the Las Vegas pop-up is expected to run through late December with timed entries; check the venue and waitlist pages for updates on ticket drops and session times. As the Review-Journal and event listings note, details are still being finalized—join the waitlist for presale alerts and watch venue pages for confirmations.
