| Olivia addresses the crowd at the welcome event as she begins her concert residency at the Flamingo Las Vegas |
The Flamingo Las Vegas officially welcomed international superstar Olivia Newton-John as the newest headliner on the fabulous Las Vegas Strip.
Olivia made a grand entrance in a car from her hit movie "Grease" flanked, in Las Vegas style, by the iconic Chippendales and the Jubilee showgirls dressed as "T-Birds" and "Pink Ladies."
Former Mayor (and current Las Vegas First Gentleman) Oscar Goodman, County Commissioner Tom Collins and Flamingo Las Vegas hotel president Eileen Moore formally welcomed the superstar at the event today.
Las Vegas has waited a long time for the "Grease" star to begin her long-term residency. And Olivia seems very happy to be putting down roots in one place.
"I have traveled so much in my career and being all over the world and being on planes and buses and trains and cars for so long that the idea of a residency was actually really nice to be in one place and one bed. I actually unpacked my bag last night and I thought, 'I have never done this,'" she said.
Olivia begins a long-term concert residency at the Flamingo Las Vegas beginning April 8, 2014.

ReplyDeleteAs much as I love Olivia, I was distracted by the male entourage on the driver's side of the car.
