Wayne Newton

What a wonderful and entertaining show!! We loved this show so much the first time we saw it that we decided to see Wayne Newton's show once again. If you want an extraordinary experience that is very unique to Las Vegas, we highly recommend that you come see this show.

I love Vegas. So much so that I've been here a couple dozen times. I'm fascinated with the glitz, and I'm fascinated with the history. Wayne Newton is a Vegas icon, and I've thought about getting tickets for a long time. It just so happens that he had shows scheduled this week, so I decided to go. Newton is an outstanding performer. He knows how to captivate the crowd and engage them. That is especially true in this intimate, up close and personal venue. While his singing voice has diminished with age, he can still belt out a tune. But the real gem is in his storytelling.Through a simulated Q&A the audience is taken on a journey of his career as a singer, musician, and actor. He tells stories and augments them with clips from performances. You also learn interesting facts about his career. It appears that he was always where he needed to be at the right time and that the legendary performers he encountered early in his career nurtured him and protected him from the industry. There is a reason Newton is known as Mr. Las Vegas. It is not a self indulgent title but one he has earned through hard work and artistic showmanship. Want to know more about this legend? Then treat yourself to his show and enjoy his enthusiasm for his craft which carries over to his audience. He mentioned that you can take people's money without having an impact but when you take their time you are taking a part of their lives. The time spent with Wayne Newton was well worth it, and I highly recommend his show whether you are a die hard or just a casual fan.

Let's just start by saying it was worth the money. Wayne is an icon and has had a long career. This show was a very intimate look into his career from Wayne himself. The theater is nice and small and allows you to be up close and personal with him. He interacts with the crowd and also plays instruments in his act. I loved going over the history of his career and the many fun facts about those he worked with in the show biz industry. I especially loved the fun facts about the Vegas Vacation movie he was in. Absolutely hilarious. They allow you to bring in drinks and there is a bar right next to the entrance for you to buy some. Please have enough respect to silence your phones, turn off the flash and do NOT take FaceTime phone calls while he's performing, so rude.

Mr. Las Vegas still has it! What a fun walk down memory lane with Wayne. All the hits, the one-liners and behind the scenes stories of his legendary career.Touching moments remembering friends Glenn Campbell, Elvis, Bobby Darin, Jack Benny, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin and others.Great intimate theater setting. Not a bad seat in the house. He seemed genuinely appreciative of the laughs, applause and ovations. Danka Shoen, Wayne.

The fact that Wayne Newton is 80 years old and still performing is pretty amazing. While he can't hit the notes he used to, he can still sell a song and knows his audience. You have to respect that. Without giving too much away, there's more talking and video clips than singing. Watching some videos on YouTube, the show continues to evolve but I enjoyed his live duet with Sammie Davis Jr. He also plays a few different instruments which was fun. The theater is great. Honestly, there isn't a bad seat in the house. The sound wasn't overly loud like some shows, but the sound mix was sometimes off. If you want a possible interaction with Wayne, you will want to sit in the front. If you are celebrating anything, let them know when you are seated and he'll mention you in the show, and depending on your reaction, you might get a little more attention. I'm bummed I never saw Wayne Newton live in his prime, but the stories of a bygone era are priceless.

What a fantastic show. I've been to plenty of Vegas shows, to be wowed by feats of acrobatic skill, magic, strength, mind reading, so on and so forth. All of those are like watching an online video; great, you got to see it in person, but there's no soul to it at the end of the day.My wife and I got married in Vegas and have been visiting for decades; we love the city, its history, the gambling, the shows, food, etc. I've of course been familiar with Wayne Newton for quite some time, and yes I've seen Vegas Vacation like everyone else, where he easily steals the show from Chevy Chase's dated comedy bits. I thought you know, maybe we should go see what is really the last piece of living Vegas history spanning several of the past eras, given he's the only person who's both performed consistently in Vegas across the past six decades, is still alive, and is still performing.Did I go in expecting to hear him perfectly reprise a bunch of his musical hits? Of course not, he's 80. Honestly I don't really care much for his music. After reading reviews about this show and learning that it's much more about interacting with the limited audience, offering stories and history, showing photos and videos from back in those days, and just going on a tour of his life in Vegas, I thought this is something I have to see.We absolutely loved it, even as probably one of the youngest couples in the room. Seriously, there were people there who'd come as part of 40, 50, and even 60 year wedding anniversary celebrations. He just came across as such a genuine person enjoying what he does, and who will likely do it until the day he dies. He still has his wits and charm even if not all of his singing voice. His wife, and some band members who've been with him for decades, are also part of the show. It was just a really pleasant experience that we'll remember fondly in ways you don't remember other Vegas shows.

Yes, I recommend getting tix and seeing this show! WAYNE NEWTON: Up Close and Personal, at Bugsy's Cabaret, at THE FLAMINGO HOTEL, in Las Vegas. I saw the show Wednesday, May 4, 2022, and LOVED IT!! What a treat!! To see a true show business LEGEND in a small, intimate, cabaret setting is truly a ROYAL TREAT!! Any seat will be fine. Just get there!! Wayne Newton is a man of many talents. He is a singer, (hit songs-yes!) actor, musician--he plays many different musical instruments. You may have seen him on The Lucy Show, Bonanza, The Dean Martin Show, The Jack Benny Show, And, he played himself in an episode of the TV Show "Las Vegas", with James Caan and Josh Duhamel...a fun episode!! One of my favs. And to give you an idea of how beloved this entertainer is, when the writers/directors of the HBO MAX SHOW "HACKS", starring Jean Smart, heard that Wayne Newton is a fan of the show, they wrote him into an episode! Legendary!! The Flamingo Hotel has Bugsy's Cabaret, and that is the place to be for WAYNE NEWTON: UP CLOSE AND PERSONALIn case you are not familiar with WAYNE NEWTON, he has performed with so many SHOW BUSINESS LEGENDS, like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jack Benny, Sammy Davis, Jr., Glen Campbell, Cher!!!

I recall seeing him on The Lucy Show, and many other shows. And, you will enjoy the DEAN MARTIN behind-the-scenes story, complete with VERY COOL black and white video---I LOVED THIS STORY!! If you're someone trying to break into show business, then you should see this show. The behind-the-scenes stories will give you an idea of real life in show biz, from one of the LEGENDS in the business. And Wayne Newton's stunningly gorgeous wife appears on stage, too! I love the way they met. And in the show, you'll see a beautiful wedding photo of both of them cutting their wedding cake, and the beautiful big smiles, just wonderful to see. I'll post a photo of it, so look closely at the photos here, because it is a photo within a photo. I will post a lot of photos, so take a look.YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THERE WAS A STANDING OVATION FROM THE AUDIENCE!!! See this show, for sure. BOTTOM LINE--SEE THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMER, TRULY A LEGEND IN SHOW BIZ. BRAVO!! A SHOW WORTH SEEING.

I had the absolute honor and pleasure to attend this show with my wife last week. I must say that Wayne was someone that I didn't know a lot about. I knew he was a child prodigy and remembered him from the Jerry Lewis Telethon and of course, Vegas Vacation.Wayne came out and sang many more songs than I expected and although his voice isn't what it once was, it was perfect for who he is today. He was personable, funny and his stories and videos were top-notch. I laughed often and even shed a few tears during the performance. It was honestly one of the best shows I've seen in over 40 trips to Vegas. You can take photos and video during the show and I'm thrilled to come away with memories that we can re-live. I only regret that we won't be back until March, but if he is still playing, we'll be there again, 100% certain.We bought just the general admission tickets, but we were so close, as it is a very small theater. Even if you don't know Wayne well, like me, give this show a shot. I promise you'll be glad you did.Thank you Wayne (and your wife!). You were the highlight of our trip.

Absolutely the best show in Vegas!Mr. Newton goes above & beyond w/ every performance! Making sure to make each person in attendance feel as though he knows them & is performing his show solely for them!Such a class act, icon & wonderful role model!We've seen this show numerous times & it's better every time!

The show was amazing. I'm 36 and went with my mother and we both had a great time. It was nostalgic and fun to see a Las Vegas icon. I smiled the whole time and even had some happy tears! The theater is so intimate, you can't go wrong with any seat. I would definitely go again!
