Wayne: Up Close & Personal

Wayne Newton has always been Mr. Las Vegas and will remain so. The classic crooner and entertainer even bears his name on a road at Las Vegas' international airport. A consummate performer, he has captivated audiences since childhood, singing alongside his older brother Jerry. After the young siblings moved to Las Vegas, where they began performing six shows nightly for six nights weekly, Wayne was destined to become a legend. Over the following decades, Newton cemented his VIP status, evolving from the boyish singer of the 1960s into the debonair Mr. Entertainer of Las Vegas. He came to dominate Sin City, at one point becoming its highest-paid performer. In total, he has delivered over 30,000 live shows and continues to do so.
