The 45-year-old singer was pictured arriving in the city in style just last week, but it seems like her hectic schedule could have already taken its toll on the star.
Taking to Instagram yesterday, she said: "Hey guys.. I've been fighting bronchitis for the past few days.. almost better but on mandatory vocal rest per doctor's orders.
"I'm so sorry to cancel tonight's show but I promise to make it up to you. Love you always, MC."
The Without You singer confirmed that she would be headlining the Colosseum at Caesar's Palace in Sin City back in January.

Mariah kicked off her Las Vegas shows last week
Speaking in a pre-recorded interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show she said: "I'm going to do my first ever residency in Vegas at Caesars. This is a special event for me.
"And again, I have to hope that the fans will enjoy this cause I’m gonna be performing, which was kind of inspired by my album 'Number 1’s', and this is now the updated version with 18 of them," the curvy singer added.
"I’ve never done this before. Some of these songs I’m like, 'Really, I’m gonna do this again, OK?'" she continued to tell Ellen.
Mariah hasn't revealed exactly how much money she's getting for the gigs, but it's been reported that she's going to receive more than the $30 million Britney Spears is earning for her two year residency at Planet Hollywood.
