LAS VEGAS, Nev. – “Mr. Las Vegas” crooner Wayne Newton is moving out if his sprawling estate of 45 years to another mansion about a mile away.

Newton family members and a spokesman confirmed Wednesday that the downsizing involving Newton, family members and a menagerie of exotic animals is taking place this week.

Property records show the move is to a $3 million mansion about a mile from Newton’s longtime “Casa de Shenandoah.”

Newton family members say it also involves five surrounding homes.

The relocation comes as part of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization involving a partnership that bought Newton’s nearly 40-acre estate in June 2010 with plans to develop a tourist attraction.

A federal bankruptcy judge is due June 21 to review and approve sealed agreements settling several lawsuits in the case.
