Soon it will be welcome to Wayne's world
Wayne Newton's Las Vegas estate, Casa de Shenandoah, is a lavish wonderland, complete with South African penguins, sweeping crystal staircases and a memorabilia collection to make a celebrity junkie salivate: a Frank Sinatra champagne glass, Nat King Cole's watch, Steve McQueen's Rolls-Royce and a Johnny Cash guitar.
In a project some have dubbed "Graceland West," Newton plans to open his gated home to the public and turn it into a tourist attraction in late 2011. The won initial approval from a local government board.
In Newton's vision, visitors will tour select parts of his 10,000-square-foot home. A theater would show a documentary about Newton's public life, and, on some nights, Newton himself would take the stage to belt out the songs that made his high-pitched voice famous, including - "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast,""Red Roses for a Blue Lady" and his signature hit, "Danke Schoen."
