Danke schoen! Mr. Las Vegas to glitz up Swift Current
The quintessential lounge performer Wayne Newton has been booked to perform at the grand opening of Swift Current’s Living Sky Casino.
The entertainer, who has been a staple of the Las Vegas gambling strip for decades, will perform one show on Feb. 24.
Newton, 66, is best known for a string of pop hits in the 1960s, including his signature song, Danke Schoen.
Leah Bragg, marketing manager for the casino, told CBC News that the concert was expected to sell out.
Tickets, which go on sale Feb. 9, cost $100 each.
Newton will be the first act to perform at the casino’s new Sky Centre, a 560-seat auditorium attached to the gaming floor.
Bragg said that while the casino has been open since December 2008, Newton’s performance will kick off the formal grand opening, which will include a Mardi Gras theme.
The Swift Current casino is part of a chain of venues operated by the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority.
