One of the best-known entertainers in Las Vegas, Nevada, he is known by the nicknames The Midnight Idol, Mr. Las Vegas and Mr. Entertainment. His well-known songs include 1972's “Daddy, Don't You Walk So Fast” (his biggest hit, peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard chart), “Years" (1980), and his vocal version of “Red Roses for a Blue Lady” (1965). He is best known for his signature song, “Danke Schoen” (1963), which was notably used in the score for Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.



Wayne Newton has recorded and released 165 albums to date. The people of Las Vegas and Nevada, whom he so dearly loves, have given him their highest honors as well. He is one of only two people in Las Vegas history to receive the city’s Medal of Honor, he has been named Ambassador of Goodwill for the state and he has seen Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport’s main thoroughfare renamed “Wayne Newton Boulevard.” Wayne was also named one of the “top 3 entertainers of the century in Nevada and around the world” (along with Frank Sinatra and Elvis). There is a Wayne Newton star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and he was bestowed the first star on the Las Vegas Walk of Fame. To quote Merv Griffin “Las Vegas without Wayne Newton is like Disneyland without Mickey Mouse."
