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.

81 years old - playing several instruments - Wayne Newton shows he's still Mr. Las Vegas. I really enjoyed the show - I forgive Wayne for trying to hit notes he can't hit. He had video clips interwoven with live music in some instances. Wayne played the pedal steel, the guitar and the fiddle. All top notch. My only complaint - Wayne may have fudged the dates when he talked about recording the duet with Glen Campbell.
Wayne is provably one of the Best Entertainers we have had the privilege to see and enjoy. Yes we would go again. WE are telling any that will listen to see him sing, play so many instruments and so well done. Yes Wayne Newton still has it. A must see.
Wayne and his crew did a great job on this show. It is definitely a Must See while one is visiting Las Vegas and the Flamingo.
We’re huge Wayniacs now. His show was perfect. Small venue, lots of history of his career. He played a lot of instruments and sang the hits. Great show.
It’s a terrific show and to hear about Wayne’s career first hand. His showmanship and talent with playing instruments is amazing!
Wayne Newton was exceptional, I think he enjoyed the show as much as everyone else. He has had an amazing life so glad he shares it with the audience
Awesome concert, his vocals are not very good anymore, but his humbleness and his stage presence are worthy of a stadium tour. He is good people and if the world had half his heart, then we’d all be in a better place. This is a must see show and you will leave with a new found respect for this man of many talents
Even though he has lost his singing voice, his show was still very entertaining! He is an excellent entertainer and I really loved his show! In his "heyday"he was known as "Mr. Las Vegas". He should now be known as "Mr. Entertainer"! Please bring him back to Cleveland!
We really enjoyed the show. It was a wonderful history of Wayne Newton's career. Wayne is also a talented musician. He was very personable, kind and humble.
I wasn’t sure how it was going to be, but I was so entertained the whole time!! I could listen to his stories all day!! He has had an amazing career and even with age he is still charismatic! You can still see his younger self in him. I loved all the stories of his relationships with so many famous people and so many different opportunities in so many years since 15!! He is funny too! He also is the sweetest person and made the day of a 90 year old in the audience for her bday! I truly loved every minute of it! The video footage was so fun to watch as well! The lounge is small so you can see him so close! General seating is first come first serve , but honestly had a better view than my reserved seat! I would not pass up this opportunity to see Mr. Vegas himself ! Side note : The very side seats are very hard to see the screens.
An absolute wonderful performance. Wayne, as always, did not disappoint.
Wayne Newton was amazing! He radiates happiness and the show was so fun to see. Would definitely love to see him again next time we are in Vegas.
We saw him 50 years ago and really enjoyed his show. I think we appreciated this show because we had seen him before. Time has taken away from his voice but his sincere personality and showmanship are very good.
Mr. Las Vegas indeed! I absolutely loved this show - Wayne Newton was charming, funny, genuine and told some fantastic stories. His voice is not what it used to be, but it doesn't matter. If you love old Hollywood / Old Vegas and the tales that go along with it, this is the show. Entertainer extraordinaire!!
Wayne Newton is a fantastic show! Wayne performs songs and plays several instruments. He says that he can play 25 different instruments. Wayne takes you on a journey of his life and when he started performing with his brother in Las Vegas in 1959. He shows old footage of some of his performances with people like Glenn Campbell and Sammie Davis Jr. He tells stories and shows footage of Jack Benny, Elvis, Sinatra, Martin and many others. Wayne is a great entertainer and storyteller. This is a great show!
This was my fourth time seeing Wayne in the past 40 years. He is still the great showman he always was. He sings less and is of course older but he is so well spoken and entertaining he is well worth the money if you want to experience Classic Las Vegas. Strangely the does look and sound better than any YouTube clips posted recently - don’t know why this is. Met him after the show. He is so gracious and appreciative of his fans. As long as there is Wayne in Vegas I will be coming down to spend my money.
My wife and I loved the show. From the opening song, we told each other that Mr. Newton still has it together and that we would recommend the show to everyone. The only disappointment was that when he recognized members of the armed forces, he did not acknowledge veterans. Active and retired military, police, firefighters, and any first responders but not veterans. As a disabled Vietnam-era veteran, I was a little taken aback. Maybe it was just an oversight.
Wayne did a great job and interacting with the crowd, singing and showing his amazing nostalgic videos of himself and super stars friends.
He is an amazing entertainer. Been doing this for so many years he has perfected his craft. The best part was when i got to meet and greet with him was totally enjoyable. We chatted and took a few pics. and i started walking away. he called me back to take more pics while hugging me was totally floored. Cant wait to see him again. Hopefully he will still be in Vegas this year in October. had an amazing time.
A really good retrospective of his long career, and the amazing talent he has still
