It's official. Mr. Las Vegas is back with an all-new show on the Las Vegas Strip.
The legendary Wayne Newton will return to the stage after more than five years with his all-new and original production, “Wayne Newton: Up Close and Personal,” at the Windows Showroom at Bally’s Las Vegas beginning April 21, 2016.
Newton took the time off to spend with his family and to prepare his estate, Casa de Shenandoah, for tours.
The new show will feature crowd favorites including platinum record hit, “Danke Schoen,” as well as engage with the audience by answering questions. Newton will also play an assortment of musical instruments in the show.
“I can't tell you how thrilled I am to return home to the Las Vegas stage, especially to perform such a personal and unique show. This will be very different and a more intimate show than I’ve done in the past and I’m looking forward to interacting with each audience and sharing stories from my life in Las Vegas, some of which I've never told before," Newton said.
