Wayne Newton is a legendary entertainer who is celebrating his 60th year of performing in Las Vegas with a new show!

After more than 30,000 shows in the Nevada city, Newton is returning to the Caesars Palace casino-resort for an anniversary show that starts on Monday and will run through May.

“It’s hard for me to articulate, much less think about it,” Newton said. “I was here when Caesars (Palace) was built. This hotel for me has always represented the flagship of the Strip.”

In “Wayne Newton: Up Close and Personal,” the man who is often called “Mr. Las Vegas” will perform his favorite songs as he also shares personal stories about his life and career. He has even asked the casino operator to lift the venue’s age restriction to allow young people to attend.

“I promised myself when I left the lounges that I would never be in a room again that had those kinds of restrictions. There’s nothing in our show that would offend anyone, even the youngsters,” he said. “That doesn’t mean that the show is geared to particularly that group, but it is geared not to exclude that group demographically.”

Newton has been performing in Las Vegas since 1959, and he said he misses the city’s personal approach with the public. He has made sure that his show brings this personal approach back.

“Part of what I do, and I’ve always done, is I want to feel what they are feeling. I want to think what they are thinking,” Newton said.”I don’t want to walk on here and say, ‘OK, ladies and gentlemen, I’m glad you’re here to hear the songs that are my favorite songs that I picked for you.’ I want to hear if they have a favorite song, they’ll let me know, and if I know it, we’ll do it. For me, that keeps it personal and up close.”

We wish Wayne Newton the best of luck with his new show!
