AP, Apr 21, 2005 3:02 pm PDTWayne Newton is taking his act — again — to the Las Vegas Hilton.
Hotel officials say Newton, known as "Mr. Las Vegas," will perform a limited six-week engagement beginning June 14.
Newton, 63, headlined at the Hilton from 1987 to 1993. He had been singing at the Stardust hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip since 1999.
Newton's last show at the Stardust was Wednesday night.
Newton will join another famous crooner, Barry Manilow, who is booked at the Hilton into 2006.
"The Entertainer," Newton's reality show on E! Television Network, was filmed at the Hilton.
A hotel spokesman said the reality show's winner, Delisco, will headline after Newton's engagement ends in August.
