Flamingo headliners Donny & Marie Osmond have completed a video shoot for two public service announcements for Earth Hour, the March 28 blackout on the Strip. They recorded the spots last week, which can now be viewed on YouTube, as well.
Strip casinos, downtown hotels and celebrity chef restaurants will all turn off the power to join with businesses across the valley. It’s for the World Wildlife Fund’s global initiative to draw attention to the deteriorating environment and the need for conservation.
