Wayne: Up Close & Personal

Wayne Newton remains the definitive Las Vegas star. The legendary crooner and entertainer even bears his own road at the international airport in Sin City. A master of stagecraft, he has captivated audiences since childhood, performing alongside his senior brother Jerry. When the siblings relocated to Vegas, they launched into six nightly performances across six evenings weekly, launching Wayne toward stardom. Over many decades, Newton cemented his elite position, evolving from a youthful singer in 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 perform.
