Best of Las Vegas -- Las Vegas Review Journal

Wayne Newton winner of
Entertainer Who Should Be Banished from the Strip in the Reader's poll.

Why is the Wayner a wanted man in this category? Is it because he's so old-school Vegas? Because he's cheesy? Because he entertained muckety-muck Republicans in Florida during the hanging chad mess? It should be noted that readers also voted Newton their second-favorite male Las Vegan this year. The man is a lightning rod. Second place: Hickory dickory spay, Andrew "Dice" Clay.
