Their first gig was at the Fremont Hotel in 1959 where they were billed as The Newton Brothers.  Working together they were booked in the Fremont for two weeks with options. They stayed in the Fremont for two years. 8 months later their mom and dad would join them in Las Vegas.  Later Wayne would open for Jack Benny in the South Shore Room. His first main room gig.
