Chapter 5 - The Wayne Newton Bathroom

The Master Bedroom is located on the second floor on the back side of the house. It is a large and open room with some special features that bring to mind our very own Wayne Newton. Covered in gold lame wallpaper, the walls shimmer like a disco-ball over the very pink Rosy carpet. There is a cosmetic make-up table decked out in Broadway lights and a fireplace made of white quartz stones. The white stone is not smooth and polished but very rough and jagged, really unfriendly.














But the Master Bathroom is the jewel of this Vegas crown and it's all because of the Love Tub. The perfectly round, shallow jacuzzi jet tub is made from "cultured marble" - a type of synthetic engineered composite of plastic and marble dust. Our tub is beige with streaks of pink, matching the lovely Pepto Bismal rug. The bathtub is surrounded on two sides by tub-to-ceiling mirrors and framed by curtains of white gauze and lace . Underneath the jacuzzi, there are 4 fluorescent lights that "turn on" the bathtub so that it glows - beckoning to all you swingers. Best of all is the brass fish faucet that spouts water in our Ultimate Love Tub. Steve and I are keeping the fish faucet as our personal memorabilia, symbolizing our adventure into this time machine to the 70's.

Although we love the Wayne Newton Bedroom, there is just one thing that really bothers us - there is no privacy at all. The bedroom just opens into the bathroom and even the toilet sits right next to the bathtub and therefore the whole bedroom. That's just a little too "free and easy" and borders on gross.


The Master Bedroom boasts a very large although currently unsafe, balcony with views of the Strip. Because the room and balcony face East, the morning light gently awakens this room in beautiful soft sunrise every morning.

We have great plans for this room to update and modernize but I will always fondly remember the Wayne Newton Bedroom. Viva Las Vegas!!

  1. What borders on gross is the carpet surrounding the toilet! It just takes ONE overflow . . . . the fish faucet is seriously cool, though!

  2. Would you consider selling the bathroom fish faucet?
