Where does our DeLorean take us this week? Since it still feels like summer, let's share one of our favorite summer movies, Vegas Vacation! As always, we give you an extra long episode. All this and more before heading Back to the Future! 88 Miles Per Hour Podcast: The Podcast that travels Back in Time to revisit the movies & music we grew up with.

```htmlHey everybody, welcome to Hit Rewind. This is Michael, and Jacob's on the other side. We are discussing the films of 1997. We're finally here! Yes! Look, I know- Action, baby! We had a game plan, and I got bored. I'm sorry, I'm a little erratic. We were going to go through the 60s and 70s and pick up stuff we missed in the 80s and 90s, and I said, I can't take any more westerns and war movies! Movies and other than that it seems like it's gonna be really hard to finish off the 60s and then hopefully we can burn through the 70s but for now i think for the rest of this year until you go on hiatus again we're just gonna do 97 probably 98 i seriously doubt we'll get through 99 but let's get started everybody what's the first movie of 1997 you want to discuss, well this one i wanted to get out of the way i hadn't seen this before and i didn't even know it was sort of like a follow-up to fish called wanda fierce creatures you know what's funny is you usually miss it you're like i'm gonna get this out of the way because this thing's a piece of fucking shit no i mean you have to start someone with these lists yeah to any of them well a lot of people do a lot of people do think this is a piece of shit it was a huge flop, critics hated it it got dumped like the second week of january no one gave a flying fart about it i don't think it's that bad is it is it because fish called one is probably considered at least bare minimum on every list a top 25 comedy of all time. Do you think those expectations are what ruined Fierce Creatures? Definitely have an impact. That would be a contributing factor. Yeah. You can't rule it out. The director did switch halfway through the movie and there was some reshoots to fix the entire ending. The last 20 minutes or so were completely reshot. So when his father shows up at the zoo, he died in a completely different way so before he gets shot in the head that whole thing was re-shot so that cost a lot of money and delayed release and stuff like that so that was a little bit. A little bit part of it's like flow is a little off. I think the only thing that really hurts this movie to me is I think some of the jokes don't work and they're not, they're not as macabre as they should be. It's so dark and weird in fish called one. I feel like they're pulling their punches a little bit in this one. Yeah. Oh, but for that, Oh God, that scene at the end, she did not expect that. Yeah. I mean, yeah, you get your supporting cast, like you got like Michael Palin coming back as well. Along with Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline playing two roles, you know, basically the owner of the company trying to buy the zoo and then his son, you know, trying to show that he can run things. Yeah, you know what's funny is in the original cut, he shows up as his mother. So he played three characters. Oh, no, Kevin Kline could pull that off. It's funny, I mean, especially after Wild Wild West. Yeah. It's so funny is after he won the Oscar, It seemed like he struggled in mainstream films that he had to go do smaller, more independent-minded movies. Life is a House and, oh, there's a teacher one that he did that was really good. But it's like whenever he does a big studio film, it seems like it's a struggle. Oh, In-N-Out, right? Is that what you're talking about? Well, yeah, In-N-Out's the one that won him the, I don't think he won, but he might have got the nomination. But it just seemed like he would jump from major movie and then just, like, it wouldn't do very well. then he would go do some independent smaller stuff and then that would, you know, rock the house. Because if you remember, the first entry in this, the whole Fish Called Wanda, was an independent movie that was picked up by MGM. Oh, wow. Oh, this was produced by Danny DeVito. See, that makes me even more depressed because it should have been more demented. Oh, absolutely. I mean, come on. I mean, after, what, War of the Roses, and The Law from the Train, and then later on Death of Smoochie, yeah, no, you'd think it would be a little bit more crazy. Yeah, I'm looking... Go ahead. but yeah that scene though like near the end to like you know open keep things up going yeah that did throw me for a loop I was like holy shit I did not expect that to happen of course Michael Palin's character you know being one of the loop keepers. You know, keep his area funded, you know, always talking about like deadliest animals. They have to be. And then, bam, the little piece shooter. Like, oh, my God. Well, that's if you haven't seen this movie, what it is, is this is a takedown of Fox News. This is a Kevin Kline is playing Rupert Murdoch. He flat out is. And his whole thing is consume. And it's still going today. Consume whatever you can to make your corporation even bigger. But in order to turn a profit from what you just spent buying a thing, you have to do massive cuts. So they're they're they're firing people. They're adding tons and tons of stupid advertising, but they're also getting ready some of the animals. And Rallo, who's played by John Cleese, is in charge. He's ex-military and they think that he can be really hardcore, you know, cutting this place down to the bone to make a profit. Because it's not just a profit, though. Wasn't it 20 percent is what they had to have? Yes that's insane like especially in the beginning of owning something you kind of have to eat the the profits for a while until you get things up and running and exactly you gotta spend some money to make yeah but you saw this with rupert murdoch and stuff like that and other guys like ted turner who bought shit up and didn't really fucking care as long as it built his empire and made money so and what they just happened with disney disney buying up ironically fox but also Also, like shutting down Blue Sky, you know, trimming the fat on any independent movies, small stuff. They basically destroyed Fox Searchlight. It barely exists now. So this is nothing new. So 25, almost 30 years ago, this movie really had their finger on the pulse. Pretty much. Oh, gosh. It does make a whole lot of sense. Just like how they had to have like some of the zoo staff dressed up as animals. All these stupid little, you know, advertisement boards and posters. The fake panda. Oh god yes animatronics and all that you know i know that gorilla suit is fake but god that was convincing that was really really good make yes god i mean honestly as much as i enjoy congo yeah that looked a lot more accurate than congo yeah but yeah so he has to find ways of keeping the animals alive keeping the place open but there's this whole subplot of somehow rollo keeps getting in these like situations that make him look like the biggest swinger in all of england like the most fuckable man in the whole place and everybody's just kind of confused by it i mean jimmy curtis seems to be confused by him and also amused and turned on exactly that's why she's kind of seducing him in the end yeah and all the while like kevin klein the son when he's playing the son he's trying to get with earth they have something like no this is purely a partnership you know this is a workplace professional relationship but i think nothing intimate it works out for him because he is a fucking what do you call that sex pest yeah he's a sex pest his whole thing but they finally find a piece for his character in that you know you've, To be fair, it took him accidentally killing his father. But, you know, like, give him the zoo. Just let us run this. Or no, get him to run the corporation, whatever. Now, the whole thing about faking the death is one of the most ridiculously comical things I've ever. The whole, oh, I'm in my dark phases. I gotta go be by myself in the barn. Oh, yeah. Then the whole shtick, trying to find everything, put everything in the right place. Make sure there's no suspicion that it was actually a suicide. Yeah. Like, the space in the gun and everything. And then having to carry on and provide those lines. Yeah, I think it's a really fun movie. But, yeah, it tanked so hard. Originally meant to be $18 million. The reshoots cost another $7 million. And it only made about $8 million in America. Thankfully, it made some decent money overseas. But in comparison, this only made $40 million. Dollars fish kawada beat 198 million and it only cost half of this oh yeah that's a huge drop, all right so what is our next film this one okay this is a bit of a turn this is we're going a little we're going dramatic with this one and this is what you know mainstream audiences take johnny depp far more seriously yeah donnie brosco i'm trying to think was he he was in that nick of time movie a couple years before this that you and i both enjoyed but guess what nobody saw it was a huge flop yeah before this it's either his movies were very very small independent movies like dead man or it was him just being quirky and cute you know like benny what did bonnie and june benny and june benny and june right stuff like that you know where he played quirky eccentric this is the first one besides nick of time that people are like oh he can play a normal dude which he rarely did. And I still think Pirates of the Caribbean is the worst fucking thing that could have happened to him. I mean, at the time it seemed great, but who knew that all that money, all that excess, all those demands for him to play weirdo characters for the rest of his goddamn life until just recently would just undo him. Absolutely. That and, of course, his on-set behavior. Yeah. I'm not really going to get into it, but I just think both of them are kind of fucked up. I don't know. I'm not choosing a side. It's just sometimes you look at the parties and go, yeah, you guys should have never been together in the first place. This is just... Yeah. No, fuck both of you. Yeah. So, yeah, Donnie Brasco is actually the only dramatic one in this bunch because it's weird how I make my list. And this just happens sometimes where we get predominant copies. I think the next one is predominantly thrillers. But yeah, this one is based on a true story. Undercover officer in the 1970s who had to infiltrate the mob. And it's really interesting is having Robert De Niro or Al Pacino play mobster gangster kind of guys was nothing new at this point. Both of them had done at least three or four movies in this vein by this point. But what's interesting is Al Pacino had the guts to accept a role where he was a fucking loser. Pretty much. Yeah, I know. know he was just a wise guy street hustler you know yeah just real low level bottom never gonna be running his own crew this is the closest he's gonna get to success and he gets there with the help of donnie brasco and just just the fucking tension throughout this movie it's not like like suspense movie dread you know like where you think it's gonna be big jumps there's just this This never-ending, oh God, at some point they're going to figure it out. What is going to happen? Is Al Pacino going to sell him down the river? Is Johnny Depp going to have to kill Al Pacino? You just don't know. Exactly. And then there's supporting characters. You've got other wise guys. Michael Madsen did a great job. And in one particular scene, yeah, he kind of screws over Al Pacino. Yeah, there was a point where Michael Madsen, he was never like a big star. But he was always getting quality work and supporting parts. And then he would go off and do like little independent stuff, sometimes trash, sometimes not. And now you look the last 20 years of his career since Kill Bill has been fucking embarrassing. Because he, like Eric Roberts, have this thing where they will literally accept any role for a certain amount of pay a day. And I shit you not, I looked it up. He gets $8,000 a day. He'll do any giant piece of fucking garbage they'll shoot everything in a day or two slap his name at the top of the the post or whatever and that's it he did have a part in sin city yeah so long ago man yeah and then of course there was the the hateful eight, Yeah, if Tarantino or Rodriguez are not involved, it's going to be garbage. I don't know what it is, if he's difficult to work with or he's lazy and tired. I don't know. But it's always a shame when you see actors just do this. I know. It sucks, especially when they had such prominent careers. Yeah. And then there's James Russo, who's another one of those that guy kind of. He's like Michael Madsen's right hand man. It's one of those works filled with guys who just did lots of gangster monster movies. This kind of seems almost like not a goodbye to the whole thing because I feel like Casino was kind of saying goodbye for a while. But this is because it's based on a true story. There's something just slightly different than trying to be a Goodfellas clone. Almost somewhat, yeah. Whoa, Donnie Brasco was a massive hit. I had no fucking clue. It made $125 million worldwide. That's wild to me. Yeah, absolutely. So, yeah, this is what definitely catapulted Johnny Depp to success. And he needed it because it'd been a while since he had a hit, I think. Yeah, I mean, especially if, like, Tim Burton's name wasn't attached to it. Yeah, because Don Juan DeMarco and Benny and June were probably his biggest, but they weren't, like, you're talking like $30 million. That's not a big hit. So this is kind of that next level. And I don't know what's next that really breaks big. Sleepy Hollow, maybe? No, I'm pretty sure there was something else. Yeah. No, Blow is after Sleepy Hollow. But yeah, he's just interesting watching his career go. I wonder if the director, Mike Newell, had seen him on 21 Jump Street where he plays more of a character like this. And that's why he cast him. Because he was an undercover cop. Yeah. So I wonder if that's why he cast him. Oh, man. I will tell you one thing. Like the intensity in that Japanese restaurant. Yeah, exactly what I was going to say. But he couldn't because he had the wire there and off. He also ended up giving the group some balls yeah the uh they're disrespectful as hell it's incredibly underrated i think kind of been forgotten in his oeuvre i think the most tense scene though is the one where there's a rat in the group and they're talking about when they're arrested and and and al pacino is kind of saying it and you know oh fuck they're gonna come after him but then you also start remembering bruno kirby was pulling some side deals with selling inhaling cocaine it's funny is that yeah neither one of them ratted each other out but all of it had here's the thing is the rap part had nothing to do with anybody in the group except that one guy who was going to run the bar and forgot to pay off the cops that's it and if he had just told him like i fuck up i i forgot to pay the cops i don't think he would have been shot but he would have been kicked out of the group and probably had his ass beat and then they wouldn't have had to kill someone else oh yeah exactly yeah oh god. Especially after that big execution scene where they took out rival gangsters. Yeah, yeah. I really thought that, oh, they're going to bring him in and they're going to at least bare minimum beat the fucking shit out of him. But no, they were just setting Bruno Kirby up. So they knew about the coke deal. Yeah, it's hard when you're undercover, you're not supposed to break the law. And while he doesn't take part of the shooting, he does take part of hacking somebody up, and that's a crime. Exactly. Yeah, I know. Yeah, and again, this being based on a true story, he's been in hiding ever since because there's a big, there's like a bounty on his head. Yeah, there's apparently another movie with his character that another mission that he went on where it's called Wise Gal. I think it was a TV movie with, I think, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jason Gedrick, and James Caan. Huh, never knew about that. Yeah, I have to look it up, but I feel like his character, Joe Pistone, there's another case that got turned into a movie. What is our next one oh god sorry right one more thing about that ending though al pacino as soon as he like got that call and he was leaving telling his girlfriend you know i'll be back later if not don't wait up he knew it was going to be oh yeah everything just got revealed and he let someone into the organization who was an undercover cop that's why he left all his jewelry and everything yeah that was a really good scene because it's so quiet and he doesn't really do much besides you see the the the resignment i guess in his eyes just finishing it up going accepting his fate instead of going on the run because you know why they probably would have killed her if he ran exactly and it's like doesn't have much doesn't have much longer it's like you know that's pretty much where his life would be did you want to get any lower than where he is oh you know what i'm sorry i said i must have got confused on the way it was turned into a tv TV series with Jason Gedrick in the year 2000 called Falcone, which is just another play on it's still Joe Pistone's story is just they changed the character because it's a different mission. There is a really, really good TV show that came out the same exact time as 20 on Jump Street from the same creator. And it's called Wise Guy. It was only on for four years and really just watched the first year and it's about a guy who goes deep undercover with the mob and so every 13 episodes there's a new arc where he goes on a new mission you should watch that first season it's really fucking good yeah. What is our next for sure next will okay definitely part of a classic part of a classic franchise for Warner Brothers starring Chevy Chase called Vegas Vacation not the final entry I think a lot of people don't know that Christmas Vacation 2 even exists it was a TNT movie where it's cousin Eddie and the family and I think the very first Audrey goes with them to an island they They get kind of like, what is it, Robin Crusoe kind of thing, where they just trap the island trying to survive during Christmas. It's a comedy, but it's not very good. But for most people, this is it. And look, I know there's a lot that doesn't work in this. There's a lot of jokes that seem to kind

If Filmjitsu is the podcast that wields movies like deadly weapons, Mike pulls out a cinematic neutron bomb when he forces Jay to watch and review, "Jaws The Revenge," the final sequel of the "Jaws" franchise that somehow manages to be simultaneously forgotten and a notorious flop. "Jaws 4" lives as a perfect example of this episode's Bottom 5 Fourth Installments list where the guys tally their least-favorite fourth movies in a variety of series. After debating the merits (and mere existence?) of the likes of "Alien: Resurrection" and "Vegas Vacation," Jay and Mike play a Summer Blockbuster-themed game of Kick Two, Pick Two wherein Jay immediately calls a much-loved 80's comic-book movie "trash." Make sure you're lathered up with plenty of sunscreen and check twice before getting into the water because when it comes to this episode of Hot Filmjitsu Summer: "This time it's personal."

Random Vegas Nick Mazzolo.  You may not know the name but you certainly know his work.  Nick was cast as a table games dealer in 3 blockbuster titles.  Rain Man in 1988, Casino in 1995 and Vegas Vacation in 1997. TwitPic of the week In a picture that looks like it was taking on the pool deck of the Plaza years before it existed, this picture, shared by @FSELV definitely captures the best the Las Vegas Club ever looked, years before her transformation into a faux baseball stadium on the roof.  All of Fremont strip was sexy as hell during the 60s, before Golden Nugget absorbed the entire city block they occupy today.  Back when the Lucky Club and California Club shared the space.  But you can't see any of that here so lets just wrap this up by saying here we also have the Golden Gate with its signage looking as dapper as ever, still sporting the Hotel Sal Sagev signage.

Random Vegas Silver Sevens deals live roulette again. That makes 67 casinos in the Las Vegas market that offer the game. There are 71 with table games. Of the four that don't deal roulette, three are small locals that only have blackjack. The other is Main Street Station. (@John_Mehaffey) Twitpic of the week Whenever we start talking about “locations” for 360 Vegas Vacations, think of this picture from @JustWonOne when we refer to center strip.  From the Horseshoe to Aria.  Just disregard that MGM marquee as it doesn't serve our narrative and as we all know, it's all about the narrative.  Or maybe you don't know that but just go with it.  For the record, we consider South Strip to be Mandalay to Park MGM and north is Cromwell to Palazzo.  We expanded it beyond Mirage thanks to Flight Club Social Darts Experience, as I'm calling it.  All seriousness, this is a great photo of center strip.

My heart just got all achey-breaky. This next review is one that I've been hanging on to for some time.  Listeners with excellent memories might recall that back in spring of 2022, when I submitted my first review to be read on the show, we figured out that my wife and I were at a show the previous week that Mark was also at. I'm kind of in awe at how much has changed since then. I started as a regular contributor, then I attended my first Vegas Vacation, then we all started hanging out together on the many trips I've taken to Vegas since, and then Keren got tired of reading my reviews on the show, and so now here we are recording together. So today, let's talk about the first time Mark and I hung out in the same room, even though we didn't know it at the time. Let's talk about X-Country. Okay, so let's get this out of the way. I like women. If women choose to be naked in front of me, I like that, too. As I type these words out onto the screen, it occurs to me that I probably cannot review this show without coming across like a dirty old man. But in the words of Popeye the Sailor, “I yam what I yam.”  So if you share or even merely tolerate my indulgences, then keep listening. I'm rooting for your team, miss. I've said before that for me, going to see shows in Vegas is more for my wife than me. However, since I'm the one who plans the trips, I'm often the one who chooses the shows. As a result we occasionally see a topless revue because I want to, damn it. My wife does not object to this.  There's some tradition here. Vegas is where we let our freak flags fly.  Going back a few years to our first trip to Vegas as a couple, the first show we saw was “Fantasy” at the Luxor. (Note: It technically was “Brilliant!” at the Neon Museum earlier the same evening, but that kind of depends on how you define “show.”) So yeah, as a red-blooded straight male who loves Las Vegas, I'm kind of a connoisseur of these shows, or at least I'd love to be.  Since then, we've seen Fantasy three times, X Burlesque, BurlesQ (you have to pronounce the letter “Q” in their name because who the fuck knows?), Rouge, and now X Country. Some words here about the change, the nature of Vegas, and regret: Like Mark, I consider myself a Vegas history buff. I never got to see any of the classic “showgirl” type shows; Mrs. Jaydubs and I kind of discovered Vegas as a couple just a little too late and Jubilee, the last true showgirl style show, had already closed.  Now Crazy Girls is gone (they say it will return with a new home, but that's a song we've all heard before) along with X Rocks and Sexxy at Westgate. This has created a sense of urgency in me that has me treating topless shows like Pokemon: “Gotta See Em All!” So if you're still listening, and have never seen a topless show in Vegas and would like to, let me share more about the overall experience. First, just do it. I think most are reluctant to see a topless show because they're worried about how they will be perceived. The audience is full of all kinds of people. Men, women, couples. Young people. Older people.  There's more women and more couples in the audience than one might think at first, and the women cheer louder. It's a hell of a lot of fun. Fantasy at the Luxor is probably my favorite. It has the nicest venue, the largest number of performers, and the most advanced choreography (which isn't really that advanced, but hey, boobs!) I think it's the longest running topless revue currently playing. We've seen it three times, and you can expect a review for Fantasy soon. If it seems like I'm providing a lot of context and haven't yet really reviewed X Country, you're absolutely right. Because how much can you say about a show whose entire premise is young women dancing in nothing but boots and g-strings? And that is basically what you get with X-Country. It's a fun, sexy show that got the Mrs and I warmed up for the evening. It served its purpose. We laughed, we cried, we got turned on, and we all learned a little something about ourselves along the way. Just in case you're starting to think I'm incapable of actually providing a critical review of this show:  There was a time that I thought there could be no such thing as a bad topless show, because hey boobs!  Check out episode 409, “Jennifer Grey Nose Job” formy review of BurlesQ (Why the FUCK do you pronounce the “Q” in their stupid ass name?!) to find out why that's not necessarily true. The good: I have to admit, I'm not a fan of country music. I know the lyrics to “Friends in Low Places” and I know that the Chattahoochie is a river in the south and not a nickname for my ex, but that's about as far as my interest and knowledge of the country music scene goes. So I was a little worried that this show would be country-trashy, in a straw-chewing, cousin-fucking kind of way, rather than just Vegas-trashy in a paying-to-see-tits kind of way.  There are A LOT of different numbers in this show, and they quickly switch between the sub-genres of country songs to keep the energy going.  (What's that line from The Blues Brothers? “We got both kinds, we got country and western.”)  I thought I might get bored after 80 minutes of country music, but the show managed to keep it fresh, and the boobs probably didn't hurt either.  Still not a country music fan, though. The good news is that you don't have to be one to enjoy the show.   Something for everyone: tits and ass! There are five different performers, with a good mix between solo numbers, duos, and ensemble bits.  There was a variety of body-types between the performers, but zero variety in skin color, which I guess is consistent with the theme.  My wife is a dancer, (no, not that kind of dancer) and she informed me that at least three of the girls demonstrated that they have had some formal dance training. There's an aerialist number that uses a silk web; it was pretty impressive how much she could do in such a small venue. Comedian John Bizarre provides some laughs between numbers. We were seated right by the stage on stage right, and there was an occasional moment of terror when he looked our way as he was scanning for audience members to interact with.  Fortunately, he ended up picking on the four young guys opposite us who were legit farmers from Iowa. By the way, while our seats were close, I don't recommend sitting to the side of the stage. There was a number in which I had a better view of the crew member holding up a set piece rather than the two girls writhing on the set piece.  Seats were decently comfortable, and ours had a small table between them for drinks. X-Country performs nightly at Harrah's at 10:00, and is dark Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  Tickets start at $60, and you should click through the vegas.com link on the website or the show notes to get your tickets.

So before I get into this review, a few disclaimers:  If you told me a few years ago that I would actually make an effort and spend my own money to see Wayne Newton perform, I would have laughed at you. A lot. If you told me even a few months ago that I would not only see Wayne Newton perform, but also (spoiler alert!) enjoy it enough that I would recommend that others go see it, I would wonder what you were on.       Now, to be fair, I like crooners. But when I say that, I mean that I like the Rat Pack. To me, a pleasant evening is cooking dinner with Sinatra and Martin on the stereo and a glass of bourbon within reach. If I could see any concert ever in history, it would be Sinatra and the rest of the Rat Pack performing one of the Summit shows in the Copa Room at the Sands while they filmed the original Ocean's 11. But I have never considered myself a Wayne Newton fan. What brought me to see Wayne Newton recently was what the kids call the FOMO, the Fear Of Missing Out. Like it or not, Vegas is synonymous with change, and like it or not, the legacy of Wayne Newton is inextricably woven into Vegas forever. So even if I did not consider myself a fan of Wayne Newton, I had to admit that he was a living Las Vegas legend, and someday (maybe sooner than we would like) the chance to see that legend perform in the flesh might be gone. As a fan of Vegas and a frequent patron of Vegas entertainment, I almost felt what can best be described as an obligation to see Wayne Newton perform.     "To my left is where we keep the TV."       If you've been living under a proverbial Las Vegas rock and don't know who Wayne Newton is, he is also known as Mr. Las Vegas, and has been performing on Las Vegas stages and throughout the rest of the world for more that 60 years, beginning in the late 50s at the Fremont Hotel. He's the guy that tried to woo Helen Griswold away from Clark in Vegas Vacation. When I first started making regular trips to Vegas, Newton was performing at the Cleopatra's Barge theater at Caesars Palace. When El Dorado took over Caesars Entertainment, they closed several shows and moved Wayne over to Bugsy's Cabaret at the Flamingo. As shows began to open up post-pandemic, Wayne Newton's production was delayed; first due to back surgery last year, and again due to a positive COVID diagnosis later on. Since the man is now 80 years old, I was really beginning to feel like I needed to make an effort to see him as soon as possible.          As I mentioned before, Wayne Newton, Up Close and Personal is now performing at Bugsy's Cabernet, which is a small venue located in the center of the Flamingo gaming floor. The venue is also used for X-Burlesque, but you enter the theater through different doors for the different productions, making it seem like they are different venues and that the tuxedo-wearing, living legend isn't sharing a performance space with a titty show. The size of the theater was a plus for me, because the small room ensured that we could see him well. It truly was “Up Close and Personal.”        As we waited in line to get into the theater, we couldn't help but wonder what we were getting into. We're in our mid-forties, but we were by far the youngest people in line. Was everyone here for Wayne Newton, or had we accidentally stumbled across the Matlock Fan Convention? Ha ha! Old people…        When most of the audience was seated, a woman stood up in front and introduced herself as the hostess. She essentially instructed us to stand up and applaud when Wayne sang his final song of the evening. I've seen a lot of shows, but I've never been told that I need to give a standing ovation. This irritated me, but it was quickly forgotten. The curtains opened, the 3-piece band began to play, and the man himself stepped out and began to sing.        Okay, so I'm just going to cut to the chase here. His voice is not great right now. Don't get me wrong; he sings better than I do. It's not awful to hear, but we're a long way from the gravel mixed with maple syrup sounds he had in the past (for example, in Vegas Vacation). I was actually fine with this, because he's still an incredible showman. You can tell when you see him live that he has cultivated the art of interacting with the audience. He was pointing at people in the audience he recognized, smiling and waving hello between lines of his songs. This is what I wanted! This is what I paid to see: that old school, still a small town, anyone-can-show-up feeling of old Vegas lounge and dinner shows. At one point, he stops the show to acknowledge his friend in the audience, impressionist Rich Little, who currently performs at the Tropicana. Newton reminisces about their long friendship, and times performing together decades ago at the Frontier. It reminds me of Dean Martin saying hello to Lucille Ball in the crowd at the Copa Room. It's not the same level of celebrity, but it's the same kind of warmth and familiarity that's tough to find in live entertainment.         The show itself is structured like VH1 Storytellers. Newton sings a song, then tells a story. He plays a video of himself playing an instrument at age 15, then demonstrates that he can still deftly play the same instrument. Fun fact: Wayne Newton can play 13 different instruments, but cannot read music. He plays by sound.     Wayne Newton: Original Blue Man Group member       It's pretty clear that the “questions from the audience” are pre-arranged, and that's okay. It keeps the show on rails. Newton's stories include a confrontation with Elvis when it turned out they were dating the same girl, a last-minute recording session with Glen Campbell of the legendary “Wrecking Crew” when they both happened to be in England, a prank played on Dean Martin, and the warmest memories of his friendship with Frank Sinatra. It seemed like Newton regarded Sinatra as not only a great friend, but also a mentor and father figure. I couldn't help but think of the “you shook Sinatra's hand” lines from Ocean's 13. Here, standing in front of me on the stage, was a man who really had “shook Sinatra's hand.” I began to see Wayne Newton not only as a living Vegas legend, but also as a link to these other Vegas legends that were so important to me and this town that we love. There is also a really cool semi-live duet with a Rat-Pack member that I won't spoil here. As I said before, I entered the room under a sense of obligation, but I was now absolutely enthralled.          Speaking of enthralled, the number of elderly women collectively but only figuratively losing their shit because they were getting to see Wayne Newton was both hilarious and fascinating. If I should end up at a Justin Timberlake concert in my late 70's, will there be women of my generation going insane and throwing their Depends at him on the stage? We can only hope… I honestly was not mentally prepared for the women who were going nuts because he sang a certain song. Picture all these geriatric groupies, eyes closed and hands waving slowly in the air like members of a mega-church, and this is all because Wayne Newton is singing “Red Roses for a Blue Lady.”        Something else I want to mention is the cool montage at the beginning of the show which showed all the Vegas marquees over the years with Wayne Newton's name on them. Newton began his Vegas career at the age of 15, performing 5 shows a night at the Fremont. He had to leave the property between sets, because as a minor he wasn't allowed to hang out there. Since then, he has headlined at the Stardust, the Desert Inn, both MGM Grands, the Frontier, the Sands, Caesars Palace, and was even an owner of the original Aladdin. Over the years, he has performed over 30,000 shows in Vegas and released more than 100 albums.        I've started including the A.F.F., or Audience Fuckery Factor in these reviews. That is where we discuss how much you need to worry about being accidentally included in the show. I think I can safely say that unless you know Wayne Newton personally, or unless you count being asked to take part in a standing ovation, the A.F.F. for Wayne Newton, Up Close and Personal is minimal. He's not going to Ellen Griswold you, people.        To sum up our experience, I still don't think of myself as a Wayne Newton fan per se, but I definitely have a much greater appreciation and respect for him. He shook Sinatra's hand, he's a Las Vegas treasure, and absolutely deserves a standing ovation; no prompting necessary.        At the time of this review, Wayne Newton, Up Close and Personal is live at Bugsy's Cabaret at the Flamingo at 7:00 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
