The Wayne Newton show was incredible. Didn't know he could play so many instruments. We did the meet and greet. He still got it and could belt out the songs. Very enjoyable evening. He even recognized the veterans, as myself being one. I thought that was great 👍
This is a must while visiting, your trip shouldn't and wouldn't be complete without seeing Mr. LAS VEGAS. Wayne Newton has been entertaining for a long time . We appreciate his talent and commitment to entertaining so many. My wife and I are in our late 40's and had a fantastic time . The show hits all the history and stories of his career and what a career it is. We were happy to give our Time to such an icon .
Saw Wayne Newton. Great performance and cool atmosphere. The showroom is very small. You can't really go wrong with the seats for the Wayne Newton show but more towards the middle/ middle back is ideal! My photos are from stage right with two seats empty to the left of me. I wouldn't have wanted to be any further towards the outer edge.
My wife and I seen X Burlesque. We have never been to anything like this before, so we figured why not. It was amazing. The performers are extremely talented and entertaining. It was way more in depth and high budget than we anticipated. We were blown away. Also you can bring in your own drinks which is nice, it’s very personal seating, doesn’t feel like you’re stuffed in a stadium.
My dad was a huge Wayne Newton fan. He had a great voice and would often sing Red Roses or another of Wayne's great songs. It's been on our bucket list for years and we're SO GLAD that we finally got to see Wayne's show last night...and it was AWESOME 👍😎. I can't recommend this show highly enough! If you want an evening of superb nostalgia, go see this show.
