Wayne Newton is a singer and entertainer from Norfolk, Virginia. Over the course of his decades-long career, Newton has become synonymous with the glitz and glamor of the Strip, earning the nickname “Mr. Las Vegas.” Getting his start in the 1950s, the then-teen singer was mentored by superstars like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Bobby Darin. Some of his best-known songs include “Danke Schoen,” “Red Roses for a Blue Lady” and “Daddy, Don’t You Walk So Fast.” By 1963, he had become a headliner at the Flamingo in Las Vegas and worked his way to being named the highest-grossing act in Sin City history. Through the 1990s, Newton headlined shows at Caesars Palace, MGM Grand Las Vegas and Bally’s before signing a 10-year contract in 1999 as the first-ever headliner-in-residence at the Stardust Resort and Casino — though the deal was cut short in 2005 as a result of the venue’s demolition. In 2016, Newton performed his lounge show Up Close & Personal at Bally’s, followed by his 2019 stint at Caesars Palace to celebrate his 60th year on stage. In 2024, Newton will embark on his Up Close and Personal Tour.

This was the first time I saw Wayne Newton and I thought it would be nostalgic after seeing him guest star in many shows during the 70''s when I was a teenager. Unfortunately he wasn't well, a cold, flu something else. i didn't enjoy the show as i went for his singing talent mostly. I think he should have at least told the audience what he was going through, everyone would have been understanding. T
There is past your prime and then there is Wayne Newton. He may have had a cold but his singing was awful. He only sang about 10 songs if that. He introduced the orchestra four times as a filler and rest of time used his back up singers or played instruments. Jokes were old and corny also. If he did not have a cold then definitely should not be brought back to Rama.
Wayne's voice is done. Both talking and singing it was hard to understand him. Great musical presentation, but he should retire.
Did he have a COLD was he maybe Tipsy or just tired? But we must say..his string performance was out of this world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
