Wayne: Up Close & Personal

Wayne Newton has always been the man of Las Vegas and will remain so. The classic crooner and entertainer even bears his name on a road at Vegas' international airport. A consummate performer, Newton has delighted audiences since childhood, singing alongside his older brother Jerry. After the young siblings moved to Vegas, where they began performing six shows nightly for six nights weekly, Wayne was destined to become a legend. Over subsequent 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 time becoming its highest paid performer. In total, he has logged over 30,000 live performances and counting.
