Donny Osmond headlines DONNY at the Harrah's Showroom five nights a week, Tuesday through Saturday, and the residency is booked through June 2027. It is a 90-minute career retrospective with a full band and dancers, and it has won the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Best Resident Performer and Best Production Show awards every year since it opened in 2021. Six decades of hits. One very fast rap.
The show: DONNY at Harrah's
DONNY opened in August 2021, and it was built like a big production rather than a lounge set. Director Raj Kapoor has staged Las Vegas residencies for Shania Twain, Mariah Carey and the Backstreet Boys, and the choreography comes from NAPPYTABS, the Emmy-winning duo. The set runs from the Osmonds years through the solo hits to the stage musicals.
Where: Harrah's Showroom, Harrah's Las Vegas, center Strip. Run time: about 90 minutes. Schedule: Tuesday through Saturday, through June 2027. Best for: lifelong fans, families with grandparents along and anyone who likes a polished Las Vegas production.
The moments people talk about
Three segments make the night. In the Auto-rap-ography, Osmond raps his own biography at speed, over photos and video from six decades in show business. For Puppy Love, his 1972 hit, a 3D version of himself at 14, built with AI from the original multitrack recordings and 1970s footage, joins him for a duet. And in the request segment, the audience can shout out any song he has ever recorded. He also sings I'll Make a Man Out of You, the Mulan song he recorded for Disney in 1998, as a full Broadway-style number. Phones stay away during the show; photos and video are not allowed.
Six decades, and most of them in Las Vegas
Osmond started as a small child singing with his brothers on The Andy Williams Show, went solo as a teen idol in the early 1970s, and spent much of the 1990s starring in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He has 33 gold records and more than 100 million records sold. Las Vegas came long before this residency: he played the Sahara and Caesars Palace in the early years, met Elvis at the International, and then spent 11 years at the Flamingo with his sister in Donny and Marie. Counting Harrah's, that makes 16 years on the Strip.
The Pre-Show VIP Experience
Fans who want time with him can add the DONNY Pre-Show VIP Experience, a 45-minute session before the show in a private lounge on the showroom's second level. It includes a meet-and-greet with photos, personal stories, a Q&A and a short musical moment, plus a laminated VIP pass to keep. It does not include a seat for the show, so book both. The lounge sits across from WALK-ON'S Sports Bistreaux, reachable from the self-parking walkway on level 2 or the escalators by the Fulton Street Food Hall.

Planning the night
Harrah's sits on the east side of the center Strip, next door to The LINQ, so it is an easy walk from most center Strip hotels. During National Finals Rodeo week, the December 5 show gets a one-night country-themed pre-show. For more Las Vegas headliners from the same era, our Las Vegas legends guide puts him next to Wayne Newton and Barry Manilow, and our Barry Manilow guide covers the Westgate.
