Mariah Carey returns to Caesars Palace

Look for the couple to reunite while they are both in town for family time with their twin children. It’s the last opportunity for Mariah Carey fans to catch her before she sets out on a fall tour with Planet Hollywood’s resident entertainer, Lionel Ritchie.

The Planet Hollywood is teaming up with Nick for an eight-weekend run of his Wild ‘N Out summer pool party series with live musical performances and guest appearances. Starting Sunday (July 9), this summer-long party is guaranteed to be hotter than the 22 consecutive days of 105-plus degree Vegas heat officially recorded at McCarran International Airport we’ve experienced to date.

Nick Cannon, executive producer and host of MTV’s wildly popular “Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ‘N Out,” hits Planet Hollywood pools to host and DJ a one-of-a-kind poolside party. Live music, drink specials and summer vibes will keep the laughs coming and the party going all daylong. DJ Samtrakk, winner of “Your Shot,” DJ Tiesto’s inaugural six-week DJ competition, will kick things off at 11 a.m. Partygoers also will have the opportunity to experience a meet-and-greet with Nick Cannon. The Wild ‘N Out girls and other special guests will host the Sunday parties alongside Nick throughout the summer.

The eight dates of Nick’s summer pool party series at Planet Hollywood Resort are: July: 9, 23, 30; Aug. 6, 13, 20, 27; Sept. 10

The summer nights, which are packed with DJ parties to rival Ibezia, aren’t stopping the arrival of new experiences to Las Vegas audiences:

• Tonight (July 7) the new “Miss Behave Gameshow” begins its wacky residency at Bally’s where audiences use their rival cellphones to compete against each other in madcap merriment. CLICK HERE for Miss Behave’s guest column a week ago where she reveals all the details.

• It’s also the premiere of the Blackout Dining experience where guests enjoy a four-course gourmet meal without the benefit of the sense of sight. Waiters use night-vision radar glasses in order not to stumble over diners or drop food and drinks but guests are completely in the dark relying on their other senses of sound and smell.

• We may be on the verge of getting our first professional sports teams with the pending arrival of football’s Raiders and ice hockey’s Golden Knights but while we wait for the months to tick by on the calendar we can enjoy NBA basketball with the 2017 Summer League which has 11 days of three-pointers, half-court shots starting today (July 6) through July 17.
