declared bankruptcy in 1992 because
of being $20 million in debt.
Today, his more than a-million-dol-
lars-a-month act generates more
money than either Frank Sinatra or
Elvis Presley ever did ... and besides
being one of Las Vegas' highest-paid
acts, was once listed in the Guinness
Book of World Records as the planet's
highest-paid entertainer.
"I don't see myself retiring — ever,"
Newton said. "I really don't. I love
entertaining. I love producing and
directing, but the real joy for me is to
walk out on the stage and do what I
love to do most."
Wayne Newton is a wonderful
entertainer that is truly loved by
many, and has a strong and loyal fol-
lowing ... with the persona and
charisma to always fill the room and
entertain his audience.
When he comes here to Andiamo
Celebrity Showroom, try not to miss
him ... It's a tip you'll be glad you
didn't ignore ... The Wayne Newton
show is a pleasurable experience.

IT NEVER SEEMS to run out of
novel ideas ... and the well gives the
impression of being far from going
dry.
