About

Wayne Newton in Concert

The always suave Wayne Newton is — and will always be — Mr. Las Vegas. The classic crooner and entertainer even has a road named after him at Vegas' international airport. A consummate performer, Newton has been charming audiences since he was a kid, singing alongside his older brother Jerry. Once the young siblings made their way to Vegas — where they began performing six shows a night, six nights a week — Wayne was on his way to becoming a legend. Over the next several decades, Newton would solidify his VIP status, transforming from the boyish singer of the ‘60s to the debonair Mr. Entertainer of Vegas. He came to dominate Sin City, at one point becoming its highest paid performer. In total, he's logged over 30,000 live shows and counting. The King of Vegas continues his rule, presiding over Cleopatra's Barge at Caesars Palace with his intimate show, Wayne Newton: Up Close and Personal, in which he sings his biggest hits, shares his favorite stories and invites the audience to ask him anything.

Wayne Newton Background

Wayne Newton has been a star nearly all his life. Born Carson Wayne Newton in 1942 in Norfolk, Virginia, the young singer took to music early, learning how to play piano and guitar starting at age six. As his family moved around the country, from Ohio to Arizona, Wayne and his older brother Jerry honed their stage skills at local clubs and fairs. Their show eventually caught the eye of a booking agent, who invited the brothers to perform in Vegas in 1958. There, the sibling duo impressed crowds night after night for five years. Newton also made waves on the national level, performing on The Jackie Gleason Show and acting on the western TV hit Bonanza. In his early twenties, he was landing singles on the charts, including his signature version of "Danke Schoen" and "Red Roses for a Blue Lady" (still favorites at his performances). He was prolific throughout the 1960s and 1970s, releasing multiple albums nearly every year and scoring another big hit with 1972's "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast." By the mid '70s, Newton was already shedding his baby-faced image and fast becoming Vegas' must-see event. Decades later, he still reigns as Mr. Vegas, bringing in fans — young and old — to see the living legend do what he was born to do: entertain.

    He's the ultimate performer! Time and overwork are affecting his voice, but he makes up for it with his musical talent and humor!

    I love this performer, show was fantastic as usual! My third time seeing him and my seats this time were only 7 rows from the stage. He looks great, moves great on stage, truly a class act!

    Wayne is great ... for the elderly!

    by Biffoliscious on 2/4/10Tropicana Hotel and Casino - Las Vegas

    I have always been a fan on the cheesy Vegas lounge scene, and jumped at the chance to see Wayne Newton. Sadly, I was unaware that he'd lost his voice. The man looked good and played a whole host of instruments. However, when it came to singing, his pipes were just shot. That being said, I enjoyed meeting him and thoroughly enjoyed the show. The best part was watching all the old, blue-haired ladies swooning for him. The parts where he sings with tapes of other dead Vegas performers like Sammy and Dean was a little odd, but strangley touching. Definitely for the older, more forgiving crowds. Would I recommend it? Only if you are a die-hard Wayne fan. I feel I spent more money to see it than I should have. About $150 per person including the meet and greet.

    Should've retired years ago.

    by Anonymous on 12/28/09Tropicana Hotel and Casino - Las Vegas

    It was sad. He's a wonderful man, great entertainer and show business is clearly his life. Unfortunately, he's lost his voice. Can't carry a tune nor hit a note anymore. The venue is a dump, the theatre and show's sets are dated and timeworn. I'd rather remember him as he was 15 years ago.

    Wayne is one of my favorites!

    by Kenitito on 11/29/09Tropicana Hotel and Casino - Las Vegas

    The show was a combination of singing, playing instruments, and video representing Wayne's 50 years in Las Vegas. I'd forgotten how wonderfully Wayne plays so many instruments. Watching Wayne perform with so many of music's entertainments greats left me a little jealous of the wonderful and special experiences he has had that we only dream of experiencing.

    Wayne Newton

    by Evana on 11/16/09Casino Rama - Orillia

    The voice is gone. He sounded like he may have had a cold and he was coughing off the mike. He should not have sung a note. His instrumental solos were great, did not know he could play so many instruments. The orchestra and the backup singers were absolutely wonderful. Overall, it was a good time but i felt embarrseded for him when he was singing.

    Wayne Is Incredible Now and Always!!!!!!!

    by Mjayster on 11/13/09Tropicana Hotel and Casino - Las Vegas

    Wayne is as innovative now as he was the first time I saw him back in the 70's. He is an incredible performer and such a geniune person. His love and caring for others has made him a phenomenal star. His career has spanned for 50 years. He is an amazing man and a talented performer that will live in history as an icon..

    A Night with Wayne Newton at the Beau Rivage

    by Katea9tails on 10/17/09Beau Rivage Theatre - Biloxi

    It was a great night - Wayne was very personable - he took time to do request, speak to those that walked up to the stage and read notes left there for him. He made you feel like you were just a bunch of friends sitting in his den and sharing some songs with. His voice when he spoke often sounded like it was a bit stranded but when he sang it never showed. He joked with his instrumentalist - some who travel with him and some that were local and he thanked each group - he also shared his stage with his back up singers allowing them to sing duets with him or a song of their own. Some would say that because he has been playing Vegas for 50 years he is no longer the same performer he once was and needs to have someone help him fill the time. I think by telling us about the folks in his group and sharing their talent one on one makes it more like family - instead of saying I liked that lady in the sequins dress you knew her name and what all she had accomplished and that she wasn't just someone bought cheap to sing harmony. It is a family and we were able to be part of it. His family is also helping to sell the memorbilia that everyone wanted to take home to remember the night by. It is part of their life they are sharing and not just another sale. It was an experience long awaited and so worth it - the only thing that could have made it better was to have been one of the lucky ones to go back stage for pictures and to have been closer to the stage to see the twinkle in his eye without aid of side monitors. Also to have had some pictures taken at the show to remember it by but pictures were not permitted.

    Mr. Entertainment

    by GiGi7 on 10/13/09Beau Rivage Theatre - Biloxi

    Enjoyed the Vegas style show. Wayne Newton is definitely Mr. Entertainment. His back up singers are truly gifted vocalists.

    Wayne had a chest cold.

    by fabboy61 on 10/12/09Beau Rivage Theatre - Biloxi

    Wayne must have had a chest cold and was hoarse for the show. None of his singing was good. His voice broke and wavered continuously. He seldom finished a song, did a lot of intros to his famous recordings and stopped after a few lines. There was a lot of time taken introducing and thanking members of the band. The female vocalist did a solo that was a cross between a yodeling contest and starsearch. HIs stage presence was good and his talent with several instruments was excellent. But overall, the show was a disappointment.

    wayne newton was amazing!!!

    by gypsyrowes on 10/11/09Beau Rivage Theatre - Biloxi

    I waited so long to see his show-missed him in Vegas- and then had back problems the whole week prior. I was in tears that I wouldn't enjoy the show (not going wasn't an option!) but saw the Dr. that morning and he gave me a shot in my back. It was such a wonderful show. I laughed and cried and enjoyed it more than I ever expected. My husband had a great time and he didn't really care to go. I know some of Wayne's jokes will make the rounds at my husband's office on Tuesday. He has a class act and I'd recommend it to anyone. The only drawback was there was no encore. But the show was long and well worth the money.

    Great Show

    by Glolita on 10/11/09Beau Rivage Theatre - Biloxi

    Wayne Newton is a real showman. He put on a really great show! He doesn't have the vocals as he did when he was younger, but he can still put on a great show. His inner action with audience was great.

    Good show, but not up to par

    by henryms on 10/10/09Beau Rivage Theatre - Biloxi

    Did no think this rated up to par with his Las Vegas shows, which we have seen 4 times. Seats were not good, way too far from stage, Had to look at monitors all the time.. Felt his female singer murdered Amaziong Grace and he did like wise with his rendition of Dixie.

    He was unforgettable!!!!!!

    by Sann on 8/13/09L'AUBERGE DU LAC CASINO AND RESORT - Lake Charles

    I loved the show, but in the past I have purchased tickets to meet Wayne. This was a let down for me. I look forward to meeting Wayne Newton. Your area can be a little more event friendly. I like being closer. He always puts on a great show.

    wayne newton

    by shagnasty on 7/24/09San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino - Highland

    I think Mr Newton needs to retire and take care of his horses. I have seen him entertain over yje years and he still has his charm but his voice is gone. His band and backup singers were great but Wayne needs to retire.

    Newton show sub-standard, but effort/energy A-1

    by justvinny on 7/21/09San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino - Highland

    After a few days of seeing Wayne Newton at San Manuel Casino's Showroom, not much has changed the level of disapointment I have that night. I have seen Mr. Newton's shows over 30+ years, and at many different showrooms,clubs, arenas,and venues. I have always walked away, throughly entertained, as well as other crowds that expressed nothing but possitive and memorable comments about that evenings show. Thursday's show , I feel, with so many others, missed the target, he seemed he could hit, even blindfolded. I must admit, even before he appeared, this was not the venue, I was accustomed to enjoy his show. A poorly lit stage, seating that was from over crowded seminar or buffet, and when the band started, I truly did't know what to expect. The sound and "mix" ,and especially when WN started, was something I would expect from a traveling side show or a once a week garage band. Throughout the years, I recognized all his band members, and I'm sure every one knew this show. It appeared Mr. Newton was also not in his top voice. A cold or virus did affect his his sound. I know, because the material was music he had taken from past shows.Even his Vegas jokes/one liners were muddled, not easy to clearly understand, because of the bad sound. From his timely "stich", to his medleys, featuring his talent on many instruments, he whethered on, like the true professional he IS. His effort and energy,( and bands ), was always there from the begining, to some difficult spots in the show. I was really impressed the WN and band, smiled and went on as if it was the best they ever did. i'm lucky to have seen many of remarkable shows, even though this, had a few negitives, WN and his band, still remain among the top/best in the entertainment industry.

    Great entertainer, has seen better days

    by Janiemarie on 7/21/09L'AUBERGE DU LAC CASINO AND RESORT - Lake Charles

    I was excited to see the Las Vegas legend. But was very disappointed by the "cracking" vocals. He made a great effort to give a good show. Maybe there was a voice probem, I don't know. Another fan who sat next to me, that had seen him in Vegas years before, said that he needed to "hang it up, and retire." I hope that either his voice recovers or that he go ahead and retire.

    Wayne Newton was great!

    by WayneFan on 7/19/09L'AUBERGE DU LAC CASINO AND RESORT - Lake Charles

    Wayne gives over 100% to entertain. He has a great group of musicians to back him up. He also has 3 wonderful singers. It's really a REAL Las Vegas show setup!

    Wayne Newton was Awesome........

    by bonniejack on 7/19/09Dreamcatcher at Viejas Casino - Alpine

    Great show...........I know why they call him Mr. Las Vegas.............what an entertainer. My husband and I enjoyed every minute of it and even tho" Wayne doesn't sing as well as in his youth he still has an amazing talent for putting on a great show. He has musical instrument talents we never knew about as well---it was a great event and I'd go see him again anyday. I do wish he had sung "I Want Some Red Roses for a Blue Lady" as it was my mom's favorite song and she always listened to Wayne sing it.
