About Wayne: Up Close & Personal

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 Bugsy's Cabaret at Flamingo 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
