Donny & Marie opened at Flamingo Las Vegas on Sept. 9, 2008 and the worldwide response was so immediate and overwhelming that their original six-week contract was extended soon after the show opened. Now, nearly six years later, they are one of only a few entertainers in Las Vegas to accomplish the monumental milestone of performing 1,000 shows.

Throughout their time at the Flamingo, Donny & Marie have been the recipients of accolades from critics and fans alike. They have been voted by readers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal as the Best Overall Show, Best Performers and Best Singers in Las Vegas, and in Oct. 2013, the Flamingo extended their contract until the end of 2014 and renamed its iconic showroom the “Donny & Marie Showroom.”

“Donny and I are incredibly blessed to have had such success with our show here at the Flamingo,” said Marie. “I never would have imagined that we would be celebrating our 1,000th performance when we first signed our original six-week engagement back in 2008.”
