Wayne Newton is a singer and entertainer from Norfolk, Virginia. Over the course of his decades-long career, Newton has become synonymous with the glitz and glamor of the Strip, earning the nickname “Mr. Las Vegas.” Getting his start in the 1950s, the then-teen singer was mentored by superstars like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Bobby Darin. Some of his best-known songs include “Danke Schoen,” “Red Roses for a Blue Lady” and “Daddy, Don’t You Walk So Fast.” By 1963, he had become a headliner at the Flamingo in Las Vegas and worked his way to being named the highest-grossing act in Sin City history. Through the 1990s, Newton headlined shows at Caesars Palace, MGM Grand Las Vegas and Bally’s before signing a 10-year contract in 1999 as the first-ever headliner-in-residence at the Stardust Resort and Casino — though the deal was cut short in 2005 as a result of the venue’s demolition. In 2016, Newton performed his lounge show Up Close & Personal at Bally’s, followed by his 2019 stint at Caesars Palace to celebrate his 60th year on stage. In 2024, Newton will embark on his Up Close and Personal Tour.?

I am so impressed with this man and his story. I paid extra for a meet and greet afterwards because I was awestruck by his history. I will recommend this event highly!! Platinum stars Wayne
Wayne Newton's show was wonderful!! Chronological review of his Amazing Musical Career!! He was very personable & kind. ??
I loved the wayne newton show! It brought back a nostalgia that I feel isn't around as much anymore! Wayne was Fun interactive and his stories were REMARKABLE! I am 27 and LOVED the show! So even if you're young... it's still so fun! I didn't know a lot of his songs but I LOVED hearing his stories and wisdom. Thank you wayne for such a great evening!
I would recommend seeing Wayne Newton. From the moment the band started to play and Wayne Newton took the stage, it was all the music that we remember, the iconic voice that we remember! He connects with the audience as friends who he has known all our lives. His respect to the military veterans was very touching. And did I mention that he just puts on a great show?! He had so many amazing stories and memories that he shared … He brought the Vegas magic! I would definitely go again.
Truly a wonderful experience. Wayne is a legend and his retrospective show highlights his illustrious career. Meeting him after the show was an amazing privilege. He is a gentleman, showman and genuinely good soul. Go see his show!!!
Wayne and company were quite entertaining. He told stories about his rise to the top and the many celebrities he met along the way.
This was an interesting experience listening to him speak about the breaks and events of his life. He shows gratitude for the steps along the way to everyone he met and for anyone who has either helped him or worked with him. He never said a cross word about anyone, and was so positive and mixed it with humor. He is still talented as a performer as well. It was a fun evening. I frequently go to Vegas and he’s been sold out when I am there. Now I know why.
The attendance was fairly low, but Mr. Newton treated us like we were the best audience of his illustrious career. This attitude is likely one of the reasons that he is one of the most successful entertainers in show business history and earned the title King of Las Vegas. I suspect at age 82 that his voice and body aren't what they were in his heyday, but his joy and exuberance are as strong as ever. Other than being aware of his status, I would not have identified myself as a Wayne Newton "fan"before seeing him perform, but I am one now. I drove two hours to see the show, and I would gladly do it again. Along with the expected singing, the show features many photos and video clips of Newton's career, and he tells many interesting stories of the legendary performers that he befriended over the years. He is also quite funny. I would recommend this show to anyone, and based on the number of empty seats, I can assure the citizens of Montgomery Alabama that many of them missed out on a real treat.
He maybe old, but he is still a great showman. He is funny and talented and an exciting entertainer. His voice isn't as strong, but his stories are interesting and bring the glorydays of Vegas to life.
Great show! Terrific entertainer! Show was 2 hours and very entertaining
