LAS VEGAS (AP) — Wayne Newton dropped out of high school his junior year to perform with his brother at a Las Vegas hotel. It was 1959, and he was too young to spend his breaks at the casino and too broke to eat dinner there.

Six decades later — with more than 30,000 live shows on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip alone — Newton is kicking off a new series of shows in the gambling mecca.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Nevada Press Association on Saturday inducted three new members into its Hall of Fame — veteran Associated Press sportswriter Tim Dahlberg and longtime Las Vegas Review-Journal journalists Don Ham and Lisa Kim Bach.

Dahlberg became one of only two national sports columnists for the AP in 2001 and was inducted into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame in 2016.

SALEM, Va. (AP) — Las Vegas entertainer Wayne Newton was probably the most famous student ever to pass through the doors of Ridenhour Music. But its owners say the countless numbers of children who came into the store over the years were the best part of the store.

Some visited the store to pick up an instrument for the first time. Some came to perfect their craft through music lessons. Others needed to get a beloved instrument repaired, to get their guitar strumming just right.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Feathers are flying in the neighborhood around Wayne Newton's estate, where residents are complaining that peafowl like the ones on the Las Vegas showman's 40-acre ranch have become roosting, roaming pests.

Residents who live near Casa de Shenandoah claim peafowl from the ranch wander the neighborhood — squawking, scratching family cars and creating a traffic hazard.
