Event at Wayne Newton’s property prompts federal investigation

A wedding, a car show and an outdoor dinner party angered neighbors. Another event drew the eye of federal investigators. Wayne Newton’s Casa de Shenandoah closed its gilded gates for renovations in April. Last month, property owner and operator CSD LLC abandoned plans to reopen the 52-acre ranch and mansion to the public. Clark County records reveal the decision followed months of government scrutiny into illicit events held on the property. CSD LLC, headed by Texas businessman Lacy Harber, purchased the property for $19.5 million in 2010 to turn it into a museum highlighting Newton’s career. Neighbors say they hope the party has come to an end.
