Mr. Las Vegas presents classic Vegas in his shows at the Flamingo.

“We have had a lot more younger people, and especially a lot more younger guys, come to the show lately,” Wayne Newton once said during a chat in his green room. “They want to experience what Las Vegas used to be like.”

Referring to his shows as a “bucket list” event, Newton has met demand with a full 2025 schedule at Wayne Newton Theater inside Bugsy’s Cabaret. Newton is performing what is close to an old-school Strip residency, Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays through December ’25.

By the end of the run, Newton will have performed in Las Vegas for 68 years.
