From the very opening minutes of his act Wayne begins playing on the expectation of something special happening, the dream that tonight some magic suspension of the rules is in the offing--the ultimate unpurchasable Vegas experience Having established the illusion that there's something extremely special going on tonight, some magical show-biz chemistry between himself and his audience, unique to this evening, unique perhaps to his three decades in show business, something so great that he's ready to keep singing till dawn or till his throat gives out, he then proceeds to Step Three: creating the illusion that the rules have already been violated Everyone leaves The Show feeling totally satisfied, thinking how hip, how simpatico, how special the whole evening was; how they've been present at one of those rare moments when the rules went by the board; how Wayne drove himself past his own limits, knocking himself out for them It take a shrewd and talented showman to pull off an illusion of this sort night after night, show after show.

Las Vegas, when I got there, had seven hotels on the Strip. That was about it. I can drive down the Strip, which I rarely do because I always take the back roads to work.
I pretty much have never been in the front door of any hotel. I go in the back door, do the show, and leave. And thank God, there has always been a place for me. Q: What do you think it was about the show you did that you were able to become the hottest ticket in Vegas? A: People, when they came into the lounges in those years, had to buy a cent drink and they could sit there all night with that one drink. It was imperative that people stayed.
So I learned pretty quickly that if you do what they want to hear, they stay. My show today, even, is based on what the people want to hear, not necessarily what I want to do. So the priorities, I think, have been kept in a place that is pretty much uncommon for most performers.
I was part of a local radio show before going to school. I played steel guitar and sang country music. When we got to Phoenix, there was a show on the air called "Lew King Rangers," and it was a talent show.
