    Vegas' Walk of Stars comes with a price tag

    Detroit Free Press (Detroit, Michigan)
    January 24, 2005

    To mark Las Vegas' centennial, the Las Vegas Walk of Stars has released
    the names of 100 future honorees.

    Guess who was Star No. 1?

    "Mr. Las Vegas" himself, Wayne Newton, given the inaugural star Oct. 26
    as a tribute from his fan club.

    Now here's the catch: Each celebrity star costs $15,000, and the public
    is invited to sponsor their favorite entertainer -- either those on the
    100 Stars list, or another deserving recipient. Those interested in
    becoming sponsors can contact Las Vegas Walk of Stars at 702-655-7827.
    Sponsors will be invited to participate in their honoree's dedication
    ceremony, receive a commemorative plaque and possibly meet their honoree.

    Here's who might be getting in if someone pops for the 15Gs -- take a
    deep breath:
