That historical occasion occurred on May 19, 1959, when Newton and his older brother, Jerry, played the Carnival Room <\/strong>at the Fremont Hotel<\/strong> downtown as the Newton Brothers.<\/strong> Wayne was 16 at the time.<\/p>\n

“I went to Vegas two weeks before my junior year was finished in Phoenix,” he told the Arizona Republic<\/em> recently. “And I thought the Flamingo, for example, would just be, like, a big flamingo standing there, and the elevators are going up the legs. I had no touch of reality of what Las Vegas was about.”<\/p>\n

Tickets, starting at $82, are available now at caesars.com\/shows.<\/p>\n
