"I am truly proud to be receiving this accolade from the City Of Lights. Ever since my dear fiend Dean Martin presented me at the Riviera Hotel in 1968 my love affair with this wonderful city was cemented. To join an illustrious group of my contemporaries is both humbling and exciting. I thank Las Vegas for all that it has taught me throughout the decades that I have been fortunate to tread the many stages around this town. I also thank my children for their love and support and my beautiful wife Patricia for being my best friend" said Engelbert in a statement.

The star was donated by Engelbert's children, Louise, Jason, Scott and Bradley.

"We are proud to honor Engelbert Humperdinck with a star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars", said Bob Alexander, President of the Las Vegas Walk of Stars.
