Singer Wayne Newton purchased five acres of undevel-
oped land four miles from the Las Vegas Strip in 1966,
and he spent the next decades transforming that prop-
erty into a 52-acre estate, including eight homes, two
barns, 60 horses and many exotic animals.
Groups can tour the opulent estate, and packages
include access to the grounds, Newton’s collection of
luxury cars and the 13,800-square-foot Entertainment
Museum, and a seat on board the singer’s private
Fokker F-28 jet. Specialty tours include more in-depth
access to Newton’s mansion, art collection, horse barns
and animal sanctuary.
