Legendary entertainer Wayne Newtown, who first appeared at the Las Vegas Flamingo in 1963, will mark the 58th anniversary of that debut with a series of shows inside the new Wayne Newton Theater at Bugsy’s Cabaret.
Newton’s “Up Close and Personal” show will run from October 23 to October 30.
“I am just really looking forward to being back onstage, in front of fans, and performing again,” Newton told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “I’m on a stage that is about three times bigger than I was before (at Cleopatra’s Barge at Caesars Palace), which avails me the opportunity to play more instruments, have more musicians onstage and change things up more often.”
Newton is also onstage through November and December, finishing the residency on January 1.
“Wayne Newton is a true Las Vegas icon and treasured member of the Caesars Entertainment family,” Caesars Entertainment President of Entertainment Jason Gastwirth said. “The embodiment of showmanship, Wayne gifts each audience with his love of music and stories of his remarkable career. We are proud that ‘Mr. Las Vegas’ will continue entertaining our guests, now calling Flamingo home.”
