209 We Go To Casa de Shenandoah (Wayne Newton Ranch)

When you say the words “Las Vegas” people will mention the mob, maybe Frank Sinatra or The Rat Pack. Liberace also comes to people’s minds about our town.  Wayne Newton is often mentioned in the same breath as all those other legendary entertainment icons that have made Las Vegas what it is today.  He is the living connection we have to our past and has earned the moniker “Mr Las Vegas”. Yes, I know.  A couple of podcasts ago, I made some snarky remarks about Mr Wayne Newton.  But honestly, who in Las Vegas hasn’t??   Not anymore, I have repented!  I have seen the errors of my ways! What changed??  Debbie and I had an opportunity to tour his famed ranch, the Casa de Shenandoah. If you didn’t know, it’s now open for tours and no matter what your impression is of the man, this tour will change your mind.  He is more than just “Mr Las Vegas”.  So you really should go see it.
