Planning a meeting in Las Vegas or attending a convention in Las Vegas and having to organize satellite events?
It's Showtime!
Donny and Marie Osmond can be found performing their eponymous act at the Flamingo Showroom. A true variety show in the spirit of their 1970s television program, “Donny & Marie” highlights the pair’s humorous sibling rivalry and early duets that made them famous. The evening progresses with solo pieces from each of the Osmonds’ respective careers, showcasing each of the performer’s individual musical flairs. “Donny & Marie” is a fun throwback to the entertainment of previous decades that is sure to please audiences of all ages.

Broadway Comes to the Strip
It was only a matter of time before the grand productions of musical theater became a fixture in the location that defines big, elaborate and sensational entertainment. Musicals as a form of theater provide audiences with engaging storylines that are told through song and dance, which makes for a great choice for visitors looking for a complete entertainment experience.

The newest Broadway to Las Vegas transfer is Disney’s beloved stage adaptation of their animated classic “The Lion King” at the Mandalay Bay Theatre. Even though it’s been 11 years since the show’s original New York opening, it still manages to enthrall audiences with its innovative costumes and breathtaking production design. The famous story of a lion cub’s ascendency to leader of his pride is set to the Oscar-winning score by Elton John and Tim Rice. “The Lion King” is a perfect show for an audience wanting to be dazzled by enjoyable, family-friendly fare.

At the Palazzo, pop culture fans can enjoy the classic recordings of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in the 2005 Tony winner for Best Musical, “Jersey Boys.” This instant hit is one of the finest examples of the jukebox musical (a production that integrates already popular and established songs into its storyline), making “Jersey Boys” a strong choice for those not wanting to buy a high-dollar ticket for a performance without already being familiar with the content. The story of the group’s rise to fame is marked by some of the most iconic recordings of the 60’s, including “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.”

The longest-running musical in Broadway history arrived on the Strip in 2006 in the form of “Phantom – The Las Vegas Spectacular.” Housed in a custom-built, $40 million theater at the Venetian, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s epic-sized production retains all of the original’s most memorable melodies and famous set pieces, including the dropping of the opera house chandelier that closes the first act. The theater’s design replicates the Paris Opera House in the early 20th century, the setting for the musical’s action, creating the perfect atmosphere for enjoying the mystery, romance and drama of one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most enduring creations.
