Wayne Newton "Mr. Las Vegas"

Chris says that Wayne received the first standing ovation in Millionaire history. Wayne has performed in Las Vegas for 60 years, since he was 15. He's seen a lot of changes, such as the population of the city growing from 70,000 to 2.5 million. He was sorry to see the old hotels imploded, especially the Stardust, because he was onstage at the time.

500: easy

1,000: C is the only one that makes sense

2,000: easy

3,000: I know B is about a Jewish family in Russia, so I go with that.

5,000: I remember hearing about this on a "How It's Made"-like show, so i go with B.

So I'd be facing 7K with all three lifelines intact.
