Haute Event: Casa de Shenandoah Ranch Hosts the Miss America Outstanding Teens

The 53 Miss America’s Outstanding Teens from around the country explored Wayne Newton’s Casa de Shenandoah Ranch, the iconic entertainer’s 42-acre property and highly anticipated attraction, this afternoon. The Wayne Newton Museum sponsored the ladies’ visit for the day. The contestants each had lunch in the future museum while getting a sneak peek at the famed estate.
The teens marveled at the beauty and splendor of Casa de Shenandoah Ranch while surrounded by an impressive display of exotic wildlife including a slew of sloths, penguins, wallabies and Arabian horses. The Wayne Newton Museum and Casa de Shenandoah Ranch will be opening to the public later this year.
Wayne Newton’s Casa de Shenandoah will open to the public allowing fans of Wayne Newton to see the mansion and grounds that “Mr. Las Vegas” calls home for the first time. Visitors will explore his 42-acre ranch and see his Arabian horses and other wildlife, including wallabies, penguins and sloths.
