A last minute gift idea for the person who has everything....

[Spitfire of ATJ]

The Wayne Newton Estate is up for grabs. (Mr. Las Vegas)

The garage(s)


It includes a Lear jet that's just, kinda parked at your very own fake airport so you can PRETEND.

1. Disgusting.

I would be embarrassed to live there.

2. Why does he have a jet on the property?

and a 'jet way'?

4. It's a TOY.

6. i should have been more specific

what sort of idiot keeps a leer jet that can't fly parked at his house? i mean, i've seen flight sims in the past, but this is a little extreme.

i think dude might have a couple of screws loose.

7. He must be. He was on Vegas Vacation.

8. I looked into this

In 2005, he took his Fokker F28 jet (it's not a Lear, it's a 65-seat regional airliner) to an airport in Michigan for renovations. They finished it two years later and parked it out back. Where it sat for several years. By the time he got up there to pay his ramp fees, the plane had been sitting so long it wasn't airworthy and the whole interior had become covered with thick black mold. Since it wasn't salable or flyable, he had it dismantled, trucked to his estate and reassembled.

I don't know...if I had the money to buy my own airliner, I could also remember where it was.

12. wow, you're right... NOT a Lear

I just assumed from the pics at a distance... should have looked closer.

Should have sold it for scrap. After looking more closely, it looks like the interior was rehabbed (at considerable expense to be sure).

16. Sounds like a 70's van conversion.

[jmowreader]

19. Probably looks like one too

I would bet good money that the interior of Wayne Newton's plane makes the interior of Elvis' Convair look sedate.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

20. Marble floors....

That's really heavy, man....

[jmowreader]

21. That's not too bad

Looks like a Wall Street financier would feel comfortable in it. No, not Willard M.; the stories are legion as to how Romney refuses to spend money on himself. Turns out the Costco dress shirt story is true.

[PeteSelman]

3. Wow, what the hell does he do to get all that cheddar?

I couldn't name one song he sings.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

5. I imagine he gets percentages of most anything you can name.

9. He's a huge force in the Las Vegas Lounge Singer trade

Remember Ferris lipsynching to "Danke Schoen" in Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Wayne Newton was the singer.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

13. well, Bert Kaempfert did the original

and the one Ferris is lip-synching to is a female voice if i remember...

but, yes, Newton made it into a hit...

10. All I got to say is good luck to him getting through that needle eye.

Don't think the jet will fit.

[NV Whino]

14. It's a steal

They've knocked $22 mil off the price.

[Brigid]

15. He doesn't have everything.

He needs a brain.

[Warren DeMontague]

17. Sorry, not if the airport isn't real.

Get back to me when they fix that.

18. What do you give a man who has everything? Penicillin.
