[16:49 PDT]

Another less busy day today. We started off with an ordered breakfast which was delivered to our room. We finished that up and got ready to go out. First on out list was a re-visit to the Flamingo Hotel to pick up (once again) a set of tickets for the Donny & Marie show that is for tonight. Apparently, the concert did go ahead last night, so fingers crossed it'll also run tonight.Once we had that, we drove down to one of the Outlet Parks that surround Vegas. There wasn't much there in the end, we bought a couple of bits, but nothing special.Drove back to the hotel (did a self park as it took a fair time to collect the valet park this morning) and got ready to head out to the show.[06:47 PDT+1]

We arrived at the Flamingo to see a long long queue snaking its way along the side of the casino. The doors had only just opened as we arrived. Thankfully, it didn't take too long to get inside. The show area was mostly tables or booths downstairs with a second floor of what I assume was the same. We were seated on the start of the second tier, about half way back, but still closer than you'd get in most shows. As for the show itself? Well, I have to say it was very enjoyable. A mixture of song genres, good performances from both singers (although Marie edged it for both of us), some quite comedic moments - it certainly seemed like they were enjoying themselves. They even had one poor guy up on stage to do a bit of impromptu singing. Overall a very good show!We walked back in the cool air of the night sky and returned to the Palazzo. There we stopped for some dinner and had a great meal (thanks, Jason, for the tip!).Once back in our room we even caught the last moments of the Pirate show opposite at the Treasure Island Casino.
