Donny and Marie Invade Our Hotel Room Views in Vegas

View from Vdara.

We’re not above cheesy entertainment in Vegas. We would have happily gone to see foreign pop idols Matt Goss or Human Nature—and we did enjoy Cirque’s Viva Elvis on The King’s 75th birthday. But we’re not so hot on The Osmonds. Especially when the supposedly wholesome Donny and Marie mess with our hotel-room views of the Strip.

Our first stop was at the Flamingo, where we had upgraded from a regular GO room to a GO room with a view prior to arrival. (We received an email offering the upgrade for just 15 bucks, which the reservation agent assured us was a great deal.) Psyched for the view, we hit that big ol’ button for the blackout shades and sheer curtain … only to be greeted with this gauzy view of Caesar’s across the street.

Live From Vegas: We Answer Your Questions and Then Some

As we said yesterday, we're in Las Vegas for a few days searching for in-room stripper poles and other signs of life on the Strip. What we found instead? Donny and Marie who have a regular gig going on at The Flamingo.

In fact, they have just extended their gig for two more years. And if you weren't following our honest-to-goodness sober Twitter tweets last night, then we'll tell you what you missed. Donny Osmond is a foxy man. We don't care if he's a Mormon or a grandpa. He can wear jeans and a leather blazer like no other dude we've met before. (Sorry, David Hasselhoff.)

As for long-time Marie Osmond fans, we'd like you to know that she is a skinny phase again. She also wears fabulous hair weaves and killer stilettos and yes, she can dance. And they both can sing. We were surprised at just how fun this show was, given that D&M are so not our generation.

But enough of us prattling on about these All-American aging pop stars. We've looked at some of your questions and are answering them after the jump.
