Brother-Sister Duo Will Continue Headlining Show until October 2012





LAS VEGAS, July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Flamingo Las Vegas announces that America's
favorite brother-sister duo, Donny & Marie, have extended their contract as
the resort's headliners for an additional two years, through Oct. 2012. This
marks the second time in less than a year that their run has been extended -
Donny & Marie opened at the legendary center-Strip property on Sept. 9, 2008
and the worldwide response was so immediate and overwhelming that after only
six weeks their original six-month contract was extended through 2010.

"Donny & Marie are amazing professionals who come to work every night and
really leave it all on stage, which is why they continue to be the hottest
ticket in town a year after opening," said Don Marrandino, President of
Flamingo Las Vegas. "They have recreated the magic of legendary performers on
the Strip with their incredible talent and we are thrilled to have them as our
headliners for at least the next three years."

"I guess this is a 'lease to own' situation," joked Marie Osmond from
backstage. "It's great that the Flamingo is so happy with our show that they
want us to 'park it' for another two years. We love the Vegas audiences, so
it's all good."

"You mean I have to work with my sister for another two years?" laughed Donny
Osmond. "All kidding aside, we love it at the Flamingo and we're excited to
continue to entertain the audiences here in Las Vegas for the next few years."

Presented by Chip Lightman Entertainment, Donny & Marie is an energetic,
90-minute variety show that incorporates singing, dancing, comedy and the
