Newton has performed for more than 40 million people and done more than 25,000 shows in Las Vegas alone. Without reading a note of music, he plays 13 instruments. 

Born in rural Virginia, Newton knew from a young age he wanted to entertain. At age six, he had his first radio show and at age nine he had his first television show in Phoenix where his family had moved due to his asthma. Starting at the young age of 15, Newton performed six shows a night, six nights a week, at the Fremont Hotel.

Newton has entertained troops in every major confrontation the United States has been in since Vietnam, and he was there twice. One of Newton’s highest honors was announced in October 2000, when Bob Hope and the USO passed the torch naming him the “Chairman of the USO Celebrity Circle.” From 2001 through 2004, Newton took 16 USO tours overseas and was the first performer to entertain U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. President George W. Bush honored Newton at a private White House reception in 2001, thanking him for his patriotism.

The people of Las Vegas and Nevada have given him their highest honors. He is one of only two people in Las Vegas history to receive the city’s Medal of Honor and was named the state’s “Ambassador of Goodwill.” Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport’s main thoroughfare was also renamed “Wayne Newton Boulevard.” Additionally, he was named one of the “Top Three Entertainers of the Century, in Nevada and Around the World,” along with Frank Sinatra and Elvis.

Newton has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he was bestowed the very first star on the Las Vegas Walk of Fame.
