Three Performers. Decades of History. Regular Showtimes.
Las Vegas has always run on performers who stayed. Not one-night stops on a tour, but residents -- names that became part of the city's identity through sheer repetition and consistency. Three of the most decorated examples are performing on regular schedules right now: Barry Manilow, the top-ranked Adult Contemporary artist of all time, at Westgate. Donny Osmond, six decades into a career that began before most of his current audience was born, at Harrah's. And Wayne Newton -- Mr. Las Vegas, more than 30,000 shows deep -- at the Flamingo. Three completely different evenings, all built around performers with genuinely historic catalogs.
Barry Manilow: The Hits Come Home at Westgate
Barry Manilow: The Hits Come Home plays the International Theater inside Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino at 7:00 PM, running approximately 90 minutes. The title is not an exaggeration -- 51 Top 40 hits, 13 of them number ones, more than 28 Top 10 singles, and over 85 million albums sold worldwide. Mandy, Copacabana (At the Copa), Can't Smile Without You, I Write the Songs, Looks Like We Made It -- songs that have been part of the cultural soundtrack for five decades, performed by the person who wrote and originally recorded them. There is a detail about Manilow that even longtime fans often do not know: before any of those hits, he was a working jingle writer, and in 1971 he composed both "Like a Good Neighbor, State Farm is There" and "I am stuck on Band-Aid" -- two of the most recognizable advertising jingles ever written, both still in use decades later. The International Theater itself carries history that matches the performer -- this is the room where Elvis Presley held his legendary 1970s residency.
When: 7:00 PM | Venue: International Theater, Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino | Length: 90 minutes
DONNY at Harrah's Showroom
DONNY at Harrah's Showroom runs Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 PM, approximately 90 minutes, and has won Best Resident Performer and Best Production Show at the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Best of Las Vegas Awards every year since it debuted in 2021. The show is a genuine career retrospective -- the Osmond Brothers years, the Donny & Marie era (an 11-year Las Vegas run with his sister that set records of its own), and his solo catalog, anchored by a fan-favorite segment called "Auto-rap-ography" set against milestone photos and video from his career. The production includes a full Broadway-style performance of "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Disney's Mulan, and -- in a genuinely unusual touch -- an AI-powered segment where Osmond performs a live duet with a 3D recreation of his 14-year-old self singing "Puppy Love," built from original 1970s multi-track recordings. Audience members can request any song he has ever recorded.
When: Tuesday-Saturday at 7:30 PM | Venue: Harrah's Showroom, Harrah's Las Vegas | Length: 90 minutes
Extend the Night: The DONNY Pre-Show VIP Experience
The DONNY Pre-Show VIP Experience is a 45-minute add-on at 6:00 PM, ahead of the main show, hosted in the DONNY Pre-Show VIP Lounge on the second level of Harrah's Showroom. It is an optional extension for guests who want more than the standard 90 minutes -- a more intimate lead-in to the night before the full production begins at 7:30 PM. Booked separately from the main show.
Wayne Newton: Up Close and Personal at the Flamingo
Wayne Newton: Up Close and Personal plays the X Burlesque Theater inside the Flamingo at 7:00 PM, running approximately 80 minutes. There is no other story quite like Wayne Newton's in Las Vegas, because there is no other performer whose career and the city's history are as genuinely intertwined. Newton started performing in Las Vegas at age 15, and more than 50 years and over 30,000 shows later, he is still here -- a record no other entertainer in the city's history has come close to matching. The show centers on Danke Schoen, the 1963 hit that launched his solo career under the mentorship of Bobby Darin and remains his signature song, alongside other hits like Red Roses for a Blue Lady and Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast. Newton is also a genuine multi-instrumentalist who plays 13 instruments, and the show weaves his musicianship directly into the performance. What sets it apart is exactly what the title promises -- this is as much a storytelling show as a concert, built around a performer who has watched Las Vegas become what it is and has the firsthand history to prove it.
When: 7:00 PM | Venue: X Burlesque Theater, Flamingo Las Vegas | Length: 80 minutes
The Practical Truth
Three performers, three rooms, three completely different versions of what "legendary" means in Las Vegas. Manilow for the songwriting, Osmond for the production and the multi-generational reach, Newton for the history and the stories. All three run on regular schedules -- check the booking section below for current available dates across all three shows.
