Does anyone know the status of tours happening at Wayne Newton's home? We have family that will be visiting and are interested in the tours they heard about a while back. For some reason I'm not sure they actually happened, but I cant seem to find any good information online. Anyone know the status of this?

I have not heard anything about an opening of Shenandoah for tours. There were grandiose plans at one time, but I don't know whether the downturn in the economy has put this on hold or mothballed it entirely.

Yes, that's what I'm trying to figure out. At one point he was doing interviews on the major networks, but then it seems like everything went quiet.

I have driven by it a few times but nothing on the outside advertising tours and all of the gates are locked and guarded. Looks like a great place to tour from the outside. The news info has gone quiet also.

The deal fell apart and the house is being sold due to bankruptcy. You could own it for a cool $51 million (maybe, that is only the estimated value).

Well that makes sense and his fan base has shrunk over the years. The ranch is not near the strip also so getting there would cost a average tourist some $$. This is similar to Liberace Museum though not that far from the strip that generation is mostly dying off or too old to come to Vegas. It is also for sale big sign in front of it. Too bad they both made Vegas famous in their day which we still reap the benefits from today.
