Wayne Newton

I m a fan so yes my review is skewed positively. He is still Mr Vegas. At 76 yrs old, you appreciate the legend. Voice is still there for the handful of songs he did, but a good portion of the show is interaction with the audience and question/answers. Enjoyed the stories reflecting his beginnings in show business and the people that assisted him. A true performer and obviously still an audience pleaser. Truly enjoyed the 2 hrs with Wayne.

Wayne Newton s show was excellent. I m 25 and have been a fan of his since I was a kid. I used to watch Vegas Vacation all the time growing up. The show he s doing is a storytellers show, we re he plays 6-8 songs and tells a lot of story s from his career. His wife is the commentator for the show and asks a lot of questions from the audience. I really enjoyed the show and afterwards got to meet him. I would highly recommend this show!!

An old school Vegas feel in the show room. Intimate setting with no bad seats. Wayne was incredible. You can tell he has been doing this his whole life. Loved the stories he told of performing through the years. We met him after and he took a long time with each person. He was amazing and can't wait to go back!

Was very enjoyable. This was my first time seeing him perform live/ Would go and see him again.. The only thing--too bad the floor wasn't elevated though. Had to keep looking at the screen because of having someone taller in front of me. this was my first time at a concert at San Manuel. now that I have an idea of the seating for an event like this, I know now for when I order tickets for another event. If and when Wayne Newton comes to San Manuel again. I will get tickets

We enjoyed the show, Wayne has lost it a little but it was still enjoyable. The only thing about the show that was terrible, were the big screen televisions, I had never seen big screen televisions that bad that were old and out of focus, I would think that San Manuel should replace them with new ones.

Wayne was great, awesome entertainer. Sound and Lighting crew had to have been a bunch of 8 year old kids, Vegas is professional. Highly recommend Wayne.

Wayne Newton was absolutely wonderful. The music, the lights, the stage, and the orchestra, were amazing. Everything was all you could ask for and did get. He was funny, entertaining, and a really good showman. He was courteous to all his band members and singers. He engaged the audience, kept us laughing and singing along. My sister and I enjoyed the experience. We both said if he ever comes back or we can make it to Branson or Las Vegas, he would definately be on our to see list. He was simply awesome for the two hours he performed.

Wayne is a fabuoous performer and entertaner with an awesome backup orchestra and singers. Exciting and funny. played multiple instruments incredibly.

Wayne Newton does not have the voice quality he once had, with his orchestra and backup singers they put on a great show. We really enjoyed the evening.

Every part of the show, muscians, singers and of course Wayne himself was absolutely supurb. I haven't seen Wayne since the late 60's or early 70's and that was at a theatre in the round in West Covina. He was on with Jack Benny who said Wayne was his prodigy. He left me with a great impression then. Now after 40 years he has grown to be a great entertainer. Loved every part of the show. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

The show was spectacular. He is a genius, a comedian and a master musician all in one. He captures an audience with his charm and love for his audience is expressed by his incredible performances. I would have loved to hear more of his oiginal music (Red Roses, Apple Blossom Time, etc) He only performed one of his originals ( Danke Shane). His tribute to our troops was sensational and heart felt by all. I first saw Wayne Newton in the mid 60's when my father purchased tickets for my mother for mothers day and there was 20+ of us. It was at the Melodyland Theatre in Anaheim. I was 16 and we had front row seats. He kissed by cheek and I wiped it with a napkin and still have that napkin in my scrap book. I have been raised on Wayne Newton since I was a child and continue to follow his music and his performances. Last night I attended with three of my sisters and my father as a gift for fathers day. He is 89 years old and enjoyed the show tremendously. My mother was a fanatic about Wayne Newton. When she passed in 2000 her video life tribute was all done with Wayne Newton song's as background. It was spectacular. I will continue attending Wayne's performances till the end.

I really like Wayne. He was funny and can play any instrument you put in front of him, that was just amazing. I was also, impressed that he used local talent. The only thing I would of liked better, was to take my own pictures. No one was aloud to take pictures.

HIs voice is cracking and noticable. But he gave 110% in a professional performance. This is our first time, he was great in the different insterments he played (Orange Blossom Special - outstanding). He really connected with the audiance and made it fun. Liked the salute to the American Vets!

It was special to see him in person, we have always loved his music. Last time we saw him was 38 years ago in Las Vegas, when we got married. Great show then and now. We are all just a little older... I wrote him a note and he read it to the audience, he is really down to earth and it shows in his performance. He really is a great entertainer! Rancho Cucamonga, CA

I think he is super talented but his voice is shot and he strained to sing or talk it was embarassing, and he should not do the song by Kenny Rogers "Lady" it was terrrible! he needs to retire, I was glad to see him finally in concert but I would never go again. thanks for the great years of entertainment, he did give at least he used his God given gift for the world to hear.

Bravo to Mr. Las Vegas... He has passion and a love for entertaining! I could not go through this lifetime without attending one of his shows. Much respect to him! Wish today's entertaining had this charm and class! Thank you Wayne for taking me back to a time I wish I would have valued more!

Saw Wayne Newton's concert at San Manuel's casino in Highland, Ca. on July 16, 2009. He is quite an entertainer and a real showman. He looked very handsome. His voice, however, did faulter quite a bit throuout the performance. Jeff Brandt, his back up singer who was with Wayne for 13 years is no longer with him so Wayne was hitting all the high notes on his own. He sang for 1 1/2 hours. The back up girl singers are excellent. One dissappointment was that Wayne never left the stage. He use to spend like 30 minutes in the audience kissing the women and shaking hands. I would, definitely, recommend his show if you have an opportunity to see it and are a Wayne Newton fan.

This is the first time I've seen Wayne live. It's true what they say, that Wayne is Mr. Las Vegas and is the hardest working entertainer on any stage. He was totally awesome and his entire ensemble was amazing. I have become a Newtoner and am looking forward to seeing him again, and again, and again.

Oh my gosh. My family and I went and we all had such a wonderful time...the seats were fantastic! Wayne put on such a great, entertaining, fun show...with memories, an assortment of music and jokes! We will see him again when he's in the area. THANK YOU Wayne for a wonderful night! :)

I have seen Wayne Newton in Las Vegas several times and this show was as good as Vegas! His voice was a little scratchy, but still great. He is such a great entertainer and always plays to the audience. He interacts with them and allows you to get up close and personal. My husband and I had great seats and we really enjoyed his show. His band and back-up singers are wonderful, too. I will definitely go see him again if the chance comes along. Thanks for bringing him to Lake Charles.

The show was great, the showroom was perfect Well worth the ticket price

I USE TO GO ALOT TO LAS VAGAS AND I STILL DO .BUT BACK WENT WAYNE NEWTON USE TO PLAY THERE, HE WAS GREAT, SO I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HIM IN L'AUBERGE.IT HAD BEEN ABOUT 8 YEARS .I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED THAT WE LEFT THE SHOW 40 MIN AFTER WE GOT IN. WE JUST WALK OUT. I DIDN'T KNOW HE HAD SOME PROBLEM'S WITH HIS VOICE. THE HOTEL WAS GREAT. I WISH WAYNE NEWTON ALL THE BEST ,BUT IF WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE SAME SINGING HE IS GONE. THANKS ROSA

Although his voice was a little bit off he and his band put on a very entertaining show.

We had always wanted to see Wayne Newton in Las Vegas, but just never had the opportunity to get there or manage to get tickets when we were able to go. My husband sees that he's going to be in Lake Charles at the L'Auberge Du Lac Casino and Resort and he was able to coordinate our stay at the hotel with the Friday show. I had lots of folks tell me Wayne Newton wasn't any good any more because he'd lost his voice. I didn't care, I still wanted to go. I'm so glad we went! We arrived early for the show and waited on the doors to open. Yes, I agree Wayne Newton can't sing like he used to. His voice isn't what it used to be, but the show was well worth it. I'd always heard that his jokes and stories were really good and they were. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Wayne Newton and we are very glad we went. The sound wasn't so great in that room because it was probably just a meeting room of some kind, but we are very glad we went. It was very enjoyable and entertaining and we can say we got to see Mr. Las Vegas in person.

At one time he could play several instruments very well .......since he tried to sing most of the night .we had to walk out.I felt sorry for him......guess his voice is gone for good.We enjoyed the band,but could'nt wait any longer so see if he was going to play any tunes.Disappointed.

Wayne's voice has gone. It's not as strong as it was once was. Very shaky! However, he did put on a great show. The show is much like an Elvis show. Songs and showmanship. The only complaint I have is that he talked too much and didn't sing enough. Of course, he was compensating for his voice. Nevertheless, if you have a chance to go and see Wayne, do it. It's worth the trip. He puts on a good show. And he s still rocks to be in his 60s.

One of the last GREAT entertainers left. The best performance I have seen in years. Not many STARS talk to the audience members like he does. Bring him to Houston and I will see him in the front row!

Wayne put on a great show, played all his instruments, and really related to the crowd. We really enjoyed his show. Will go and see him again, when he's in the area

Loved the whole show. Would love to someday experience the full show in Vegas.

Wayne Newton's material is not something I usually listen to. In fact, I don't think I have heard anything of his that wasn't in Vegas Vacation. I just took my Mom to the show since she loves him. Ok, with that said, he did an amazing show. I didn't know that he played guitar--in fact, he is quite good at it. Unfortunately, it was not a sold-out show--and it should have been. He is that good! Amazing voice, great rapport with the audience. Quite the entertainer!!

Even though it seemed like Mr Newton was having trouble talking (maybe a cold) he could still belt it out. When it comes to his performance, he is still the consumate performer! I wish I had 1/10 of his musical talent. I have seen him in Las Vegas where he is more able to interact with the crowd. Because of the stage situation, he could not do that at the Adler, but he did his best to make the crowd feel like part of the show.

The live music & backup singers were so loud they drowned out Wayne's singing. The accoustics in the theatre were not right for this kind of concert. He could have cut back on the jokes (bad) & sung more. I was glad I got to see him live; but very disappointed in the concert.

Wayne's scratchy voice filled the Adler Theater. His singing did not bring back memories of long ago. I hardly recognized his signature song Dankeshein. As we left the building they played a recording of Dankeshein from long ago. The recording was much better than his show. We were very disappointed.

Wayne put on amazing show! He s so talented and shares many interesting pieces of his long Great career! He s such a part of the history of Vegas...it s definitely a must see!!!

An excellent show from beginning to end. Wayne Newton continues to be personable, entertaining, and tremendously talented. He does not disappoint his audience. We were impressed with his fantastic stage presence, his boundless energy and enthusiasm, and his sincere interactions with people. He sang quite a few songs which were interspersed with short stories and video clips. It was well worth the ticket price! A small and intimate venue added to the performance. An evening to remember. This is a must if you go to Vegas!

Not at all what expected. As a previous fan of his music, disappointed in his performance. The few songs he sang where off key. The majority of show is old videos of his career and past interactions with other entertainers. He does answer many questions and does interact with audience. Best part of show for me was a few occasions when he played different instruments, his talent still shines on that front.

If you expect to hear Wayne Newton actually sing, you will be extremely disappointed DO NOT ATTEND. The show is supposed to last for 90 minutes. My father and I got up and left after 70 minutes because we spent roughly $125.00 per ticket (including all the taxes and extra fees that were added on to the original price) and we did not hear him sing one full song. If we wanted to hear Wayne Newton talk about himself and take the audience down memory lane we wouldn t have gone. It basically was a Q & A, but all the questions were pre-written and asked by an \u2018assistant he had up on stage with him. However, if you re a die-hard Wayne Newton fan and just want to see him and do not care if he actually puts on a show and sings then by all means see the show. Otherwise it s a complete waste of money and time.

It was a really good show...had a great time! Re commend for all those who enjoy Vegas style entertaining!!

We saw Wayne Newton last year on 9.18.17. We had front row seats and I tell you he is amazing. Also we are related, I am his cousin. It was the very first time that I meet him and he hugged me and when we went to meet and greet him he is just so amazing that I did not want to leave. Love him lots. I would love to see him this coming September when we are there.

Wayne Newton Up Close & Personal is a show not to be missed! Wayne tells his story with songs, film clips and interviews while at the same time, engaging and talking with audience members. His show appeals to people of all ages since he ties in the past with the present. His warm and wonderful personality shine through while talking with audience members and taking questions (ahead of the show). His staff that work the show are also equally amazing. Kind, warm and informative - you will get a small glimpse of the show before it even starts. While there are many shows to see in Vegas, don't miss this one. It will be a truly memorable night in a small and intimate setting. Five stars!

No matter your age, this is a show not to be missed. Wayne Newton is truly a legend and his show is also a lesson in how he got his start, the legends that he played with, mixed with songs, memories and true entertainment. It was my son's 14th birthday and not only did Wayne recognize him with a song, he gave him his guitar pic after the song was done. He is a true patriot - having all military and first responders stand so that he could recognize them with a hand of applause. Not only is Wayne wonderful but all the staff working the show couldn't be more friendly, informative and generally nice people. If you do the "Meet and Greet" Wayne will answer questions and is truly a humble and sincere man. Don't miss this legend. There are few like him.

It was a very entertaining show " Up Close And Personal" I learned a lot about Wayne's life old Vegas and his friends along the way and one other thing Wayne Newton is a very gracious person I would go next time I'm in Vegas if he's there

Wayne s voice was definitely not what it used to be but his show did not disappoint. My husband and I were so glad we got to see him and listen as he shared so many of his memories throughout his career. Thank you Wayne Newton. You are an absolute Vegas icon. Loved your show!

I am frankly not a big fan of Newtons. But, I know he is a Vegas legend, and wanted to be able to hear his stories. It was well worth it. Sadly, his voice is shot, and he looks unnatural, but he is unquestionably a unique talent that should be seen at least once if you're a fan of things Vegas.If you can overlook the faults, this show is informative and LOL funny, too. See it!

Loved hearing the stories. Wayne is very nice and genuine

Wayne Newton preformed a great show as always ! We where celebrating our 49th anniversary and he took the time to congratulate us during the show ! That was great !

We had a wonderful time hearing Wayne Newton talk about his life and sharing experiences he had. It was so much more than just hearing someone sing. Up close and personal is the perfect title. Buying VIP seats you get a photo with Wayne Newton which made the experience much more memorable!

It's an intimate venue, so you can see him up close( hence the name of the show). He answers questions from the audience, shows clips from past shows, and sings a few songs. His voice is not what it used to be, but the clips show how good he was. Overall it is a good show for people who already know his music. He's very personable.

I learned so much as Wayne shared his stories with us. I am so proud of all he has done for the troops over so many years. Just loved everything. Only wish is he would have sang a couple more of his oldies. Thank you Wayne!

Great show in a very intimate room. This is not just a pure music concert, but a fascinating set of Wayne's personal stories with interesting multimedia. It's worth splurging on the VIP package for the opportunity of a personal meet-and-greet - he was very gracious and personable.

Mr. Newton may be in an intimate venue but he still puts on a show as if he was in front of the troops at a USO concert. He's still the charming, funny, class act he's always been and takes time to share his stories of coming up in the entertainment industry and who helped him and stayed with him the whole way. Spend a classic Las Vegas night with Mr. Las Vegas himself!

If you come to Las Vegas, this is a must see ! Wayne knocks it out of the park with his talent for engaging the crowd amongst all his other gifts he brings to the stage. My wife and I will be back to see him again soon.

Great show. My wife and I both thought the show was truly entertaining.

This show may have been the best! It was our 3rd wedding anniversary celebration and Wayne not only mentioned me & my husband during his show, but dedicated a special song to us. We had seen Wayne's show the day before and had a chance to mention it was our 3rd anniversary during the meet and greet. He was so sweet to remember the next day when he dedicated a song to us. When Wayne comes out on stage, you can feel the charisma, warmth and his affection to his audience. He is so entertaining by story telling, answering questions from the audience as well as telling a few jokes and singing (of course). In this small venue, you feel so up close and personal to Wayne. I have seen his show about a dozen times and it is different every time. If you have never seen him, you are in for a real treat!!! Love Wayne Forever!!!

From the moment Mr. Newton comes out on stage, you can feel the charisma, warmth and his affection to his audience. He is entertaining by story telling, answering questions from the audience as well as telling a few jokes and singing (of course). In this small venue, you feel so up close and personal to Wayne. I have seen his show about a dozen times and it is different every time. I love to see him every time I am in Vegas. I always buy the VIP so I can get to speak to Wayne during the meet and greet. A plus that I am so glad they offer. Everyone should make the effort to see Wayne at least once during their Las Vegas visit. If you have never seen him, you are in for a real treat!!! Love Wayne Forever!!!

The sound was terrible on Wayne's mic. The band, backup singers and audio from videos was understandable, but not the star of the show. Don't know if it was intentional to mask the aging voice of the star or not. Would have been better to have left it alone. Sinatra's voice faltered late in his career but he never tried to hide it.

This is the third time we've seen his show, first time at the Stardust in Las Vegas. My daughter has seen him twice (she's 41 years old) and loves him SO much. This show was particularly good because we loved the old clips of his performances. And he's as funny as he ever was. We LOVE you, Wayne!!!!!!

Mr. Newton certainly delivered. He is a sweet man totally concerned with his audience which was instantly endearing. Thoroughly enjoyed his many talents. HE is deserving of 5 stars. However, we sat on the side and he shared many video clips with his audience which would have been great had we been able to see them. The venue itself was at fault, not the performer. You needed to be seated in the center to see the videos as the screen was set way back on the stage. In order to get full enjoyment of his performance, I will go see him in Las Vegas. Be aware, any show at River City will have the same problems, so don't sit in the side seats.

Wayne only sang about 5 songs, which was just as well since his singing voice is pretty much gone. This show was less of a concert than it was an autobiographical "This is You Life" of Wayne Newton. I was hoping to see what the number one show in Vegas was like, but instead I just watched a likeable old man showing videos of back when he still had talent. I guess he needed the money.

Enjoyed the show thoroughly. He sang, he answered questions from the audience and he showed pictures and videos of when he was younger. I would go back and see it again.

You won't find another show like this anywhere. It is truly unique and personal. If you want an insider's view on the life and career of Wayne Newton, you won't be disappointed. Wayne Newton himself shares how his career got started from his early days as a child through his iconic years in Las Vegas via film clips and personal testimony. He talks about his relationships with other popular and iconic Las Vegas performers as well as other famous entertainers like Jack Benny, Bob Hope and Jackie Gleason. Performing some of his most famous songs and entertaining the crowd with his musical talents, he does not disappoint. I've seen this show multiple times and continue to be entertained. If you get the opportunity, see this show, whether in Las Vegas at Bally's or on tour in a location near you.

Wayne still can make you laugh, his musical genius is still there I loved remembering the old days Glenn Campbell etc.

Don't forget to see Wayne Newton while you're in town! Great show. And visit his home for a wonderful tour!

I've seen Wayne in a large auditorium before and that show was great, but this was BEYOND! It was so intimate, I felt like he was talking to me. You really got to hear a lot about his history in show business and the people who had a hand in his success. I smiled so much my face hurt after. A must-see!

A 90-minute show that was more autobiography than concert, Wayne Newton is head of the "establishment" of Las Vegas. This show, "Up Close and Personal", lives up to its name. Wayne with two musicians (joined occasionally by himself) uses video and live performances to tell the story of his life and career. No costume changes, no backup dancers, no complicated choreography; This show is like finding yourself sitting in a bar alongside Wayne Newton and him reminiscing about life.

A great entertainer! Fun fun show! Even performed a Christmas song!

My husband and I attended the show at Bally's and we were totally entertained. The setting of the small intimate room was wonderful. Wayne made the entire audience feel as if we were all old friends. Some of them actually were part of his fan club calling themselves "Wayneiacts". We had traveled to Vegas a few times but this show was never an option and we had commented in the past how sad it was that we would never see "Mr Las Vegas" so as I studied the list of shows available during our stay we were delighted to see this was an option. We really did not know a lot about Wayne Newton except he was part of the old Vegas style and he sang Danke Schoen, two words we have playfully said to each other for 33 years. One of us says Danke and the other finishes with Schoen, I know silly. So in this respect Wayne Newton has always been a part of our lives. And this was our anniversary trip so it was meant to be. I cannot tell you how very much we enjoyed the evening. We learned so much about this wonderful talented man and his life. If anyone gets the chance to go please do so. You will leave feeling light in your heart and blessed for the time you spent with this icon of Vegas and the entertainment world.

From the moment we walked into the ticket line until we LITERALLY got to the parking garage this was an incredible experience. Mr. Newton was a blast to see live. My husband wanted to see a "Vegas show", and even though he could not make it (fighting California wildfires), it was exactly what he was looking for. Me. Newton's performance is most definitely a show worth seeing when you visit Las Vegas. In fact it is my desire to bring my husband to experience it for himself once life returns to normal. Mr. Newton is surrounded by a great staff as well. *****I know you will read this so, this part of the review is a personal message to Mr. Newton's assistant. I am sorry that I do not remember your name but I just want you to know that YOU are phenomenal! You know your job and you do it extremely well. Thank you for making this experience unforgettable.*****

Was the best show I have ever been to in Las Vegas.

If you like wayne after this up close & personal so you will Love him again... This was a great memory walk to all the entertainers that touch his life & ours. the storys & videos were fantastic and funny. get the vip section you will be surprised...! best of all there is and was not a bad seat in the house.

His voice is not quite there anymore but really enjoyed his show. The title up close and personal is very accurate. Talked a lot about how he got started and the legends that helped him along the way. Showed lots of old clips from past performances. it was so obvious the man loves what he does. He puts his heart and soul in it!

The show was very entertaining and most unusual. I liked the fact that Wane not only sang wonderful songs but also gave us a bio of his life with other stars that we grew up on that he performed with. He added that personal touch by involving his audience. My husband worked in the gaming industry and was a nurse also. He took care of Wayne Newton's godfather, Walter Kane until the day he passed. He used to go back stage with Walter for most openings Wayne had and would then sit in the audience where Wayne would always dedicate and sing his first song for his godfather Walter. The man is still The Midnight Idol and Mr. Entertainment.

We were very impressed with Wayne Newton's new style show. It brought back wonderful memories of the past and how great those times were and how great the people were. Our values in life have changed, but Mr. Newton holds on to the very best of times by showing how beautiful and caring people were in that era. He reaches out to his audience with his personal explanation of events throughout his life. His singing is still at its finest and performs those memorable hits of the past.

The show was amazing. I felt the whole show was like a visit with Wayne in his living room and talking about old times in his career up to the present. Wayne is such a personable man, so loving and appreciative of his fans. I had ever been to Vegas or a show and I'm so happy my first show was with Mr. Newton. I remember watching him perform on the Lucille Ball show when he was about 15 years old and have loved his singing since. He is a real asset to the performing arts.

I have seen Wayne Newton many times, but this one was one of his best. He is still sexy and has a great stage presence. Shows are very entertaining with jokes, clips from the past, and songs that bring back so many memories. He features his backup singers in numbers of their own and these girls are first class. He is backed by a full orchestra which is something almost unheard of today. All music is performed live, there are no recordings. It was truly a top notch Las Vegas type show.

Wayne Newton put on a show that was awesome, he brought with him the memories of the old days of Vegas, Sinatra, Martin, Davis. He was playing every instrument he had the band and backup singers were great. At his age he shows he still has it. The show was 2 hours of pure entertainment.

As always, Wayne is the consummate showman. Although billed as a Christmas show, he only sang 3 Christmas songs, which was OK with me since he also sang many of his most remembered hits. Also this time he brought along clips from some of his memorable TV appearances. All in all, an evening to remember!!

I feel honored to have attended one of Wayne's last shows at the Tropicana. I have been attending his shows since 1975 and he is, and always will be, one of the greatest entertainers of all times. He gives 110% of himself while on stage, or if lucky enough, meeting him before the show is a wonderful, heartfelt, experience. He is one of the kindest and most grateful people you could ever meet.. I loved the flashbacks of Wayne with some of the other famous entertainers he has performed with. This show brought back many great memories. I hope I will be lucky enough to see him perform again someday.

It was an honor just to see this man. I love him and he was a great entertainer. I saw him a few years ago in Wheeling and he was great!! This concert was just painful to watch. As someone who loves and respects this man, I must say it's time to step down. Each note he tried to sing sounded like someone with pneumonia trying to sing a song. They tried to cover him up with a loud orchestra (the orchestra was great by the way). He may have made it through 2 complete songs, but sounded like he was in pain the whole time. The rest of the songs were him singing little parts and then playing an instument or letting his 2 backup singers take over. It was actually a pretty sad evening. I took my mom and she agreed. Wayne you were fantastic in your day, but it's the end of the road.

After a few days of seeing Wayne Newton at San Manuel Casino's Showroom, not much has changed the level of disapointment I have that night. I have seen Mr. Newton's shows over 30+ years, and at many different showrooms,clubs, arenas,and venues. I have always walked away, throughly entertained, as well as other crowds that expressed nothing but possitive and memorable comments about that evenings show. Thursday's show , I feel, with so many others, missed the target, he seemed he could hit, even blindfolded. I must admit, even before he appeared, this was not the venue, I was accustomed to enjoy his show. A poorly lit stage, seating that was from over crowded seminar or buffet, and when the band started, I truly did't know what to expect. The sound and "mix" ,and especially when WN started, was something I would expect from a traveling side show or a once a week garage band. Throughout the years, I recognized all his band members, and I'm sure every one knew this show. It appeared Mr. Newton was also not in his top voice. A cold or virus did affect his his sound. I know, because the material was music he had taken from past shows.Even his Vegas jokes/one liners were muddled, not easy to clearly understand, because of the bad sound. From his timely "stich", to his medleys, featuring his talent on many instruments, he whethered on, like the true professional he IS. His effort and energy,( and bands ), was always there from the begining, to some difficult spots in the show. I was really impressed the WN and band, smiled and went on as if it was the best they ever did. i'm lucky to have seen many of remarkable shows, even though this, had a few negitives, WN and his band, still remain among the top/best in the entertainment industry.

So truth be told there are only 3 or 4 songs performed live at this show. The 'Up Close and Personal' delves into Wayne's career and longevity as a performer. You get to view pictures and a number of videos from years past as well as learn a lot about Wayne's life. He is apparently quite the prankster and enjoys a good laugh in the daily existence we call life. I honestly had no idea he was the megastar that is Wayne Newton. His success was evident but the long list of performers that he interacted with and befriended. After more than 60 years of singing and performing his vocal chords aren't quite what you may remember but it was a privilege to see the show. If you are a Wayne Newton fan at all, see the show.

This show was to die for!!! WOW!!! what an incredible show I will see again!! He is one hell of an entertainer very very special. Yes he shook my hand and I've yet to wash it!!! Stop laughing all!!! I love the showroom so cozy and great!! I met them at Caesars 50th Anniversary and it was pure joy to enjoy his show!! A must go see!!!!

Definitely recommend Wayne Newton Up Close and personal. Everything I expected it to be. It was \u2018Up Close and Personal. Glad he came back to the stage.had the best evening sharing his life. A living legend and top Las Vegas performer. Truly Mr. Las Vegas.

I saw Wayne Newton about 18 years ago and he is still fabulous. I was very disappointed in the venue they have Mr. Las Vegas performing in. The chairs are just hard back "kitchen" type chairs. I paid the extra money for the VIP tickets, but all the seats are the same. I did love the stories he told and the experiences he shared.

My husband took his mother and brother to see Wayne's show. He said it was really good and Wayne was so nice to his mother. He even dedicated the show to her. She is 81 and was thrilled at the amount of attention he gave to her at the performance and at the meet and greet!

Wayne Newton delivers a great look at the history or his career but I don't think he sang more than 5/6 songs in the 90 minute show. That was disappointing. The lady on stage with him was s fun surprise!

Wayne was awesome! I would definitely see him again!

He shares so much inside information and delivers an incredible performance!

We bought this show and the home tour, tour was canceled, sadly. We were by the stage left and it was great. Wish she had given him the notes she took about us while we were in line. It would have been great to actually have Wayne sing more but the did sound a bit horse, no pun intended. If the AC's were actually out at Casa de Shenandoah I can see why his throat seemed a bit horse, he was probably staying in the Bally and had to walk through the smoke filled casino to get to the showroom. We hope the tours resume and we will definitely rebook a trip just for that. Thank you Wayne for the inspiration to play the drums and for the Up Close and Personal show... Loved it. May God grant you the health to sing and entertain well into your 90's.

Had great seats, had a meet and greet after, which I didn t expect. It was just a great experience and is something I can mark off my bucket list!!

Wayne Newton's show was outstanding. He played the violin, the piano, and the guitar. And, of course he sang his hit songs. He was very personable and attentive to the audience. He told stories about his life and included some video of past performances with celebrities. This is a must stop for all who followed his career. You will love it.

With a trip planned to Vegas just thought we should see "Mr. Las Vegas" one time...The show far exceeded our expectations.... Wayne still sounds great and the one on one with the audience....what a treat. A fan or not go see this show!!!!

Show started with a two song medley, then it turned into a talk show. Which with the title you could expect talk, but it also said you would here the favorites. After 35 minutes I didn't want to wait for the songs and left.

Took my wife to this as a Birthday present. She has wanted to see Wayne Newton for a long time. Wayne did not disappoint. There's a reason he's been so successful in show business. He knows how to entertain a crowd. Some people just have that talent. This show is a retrospect on his career, complete with video clips of past performances and moments from his life. The stories he told were very interesting and very funny. His live performance was great too. One of the great showman of our age. A great evening overall. The Saban Theatre is very beautiful and quite comfortable. And decent restrooms. I wouldn't hesitate to go there again for a show.

He exceeded our expectations. It was an evening we won't soon forget. He is Mr. Vegas and to hear his stories just made the night more intimate than we could have imagined. We are now Wayne--iacs.

While Wayne's voice is not what it used to be (who doesn't sound different after 30,000+ shows) the show was fantastic. It was very different than the big band shows he did years ago. We were thoroughly entertained and left knowing much more about Wayne than we used to. He still does the staples that made him famous and also provides insight into the Rat Pack era and shares personal stories of interest. Give it a shot! I don't think you will be disappointed.

Wayne Newton has lost some on his vocals but he is ever the showman

We enjoyed looking back to the past and how his career started and how he got where he is now. We would see it again

Wayne Newton's performance was an insult to all paying attendees. Trust me on this. We paid $65 for each ticket but as the show neared prices fell to $25. The moral being if you're tempted to go, wait it out before buying. This review isn't about the money. From what I've heard about Newton's Las Vegas show, it's fun. This show wasn't.

If you like talk shows, this is for you, if your going to hear him perform his songs, stay home and watch them on YouTube. That is what he did, set up a screen and played old videos of him singing. We left after 3 hours of talk and 2 live songs sung. Very disappointing! I gave him 1 star for showing up!
