Alexa Park Las Vegas: A Neil Diamond Tribute

Rob Garrett’s “King of Diamonds” LAS VEGAS SHOW RESIDENCY continues in the “Modern Showrooms Las Vegas” at Alexis Park Las Vegas Hotel. Neil Diamond is one of the most successful and beloved singer/songwriters in rock and pop music history. Besides being one of the top-selling and concert drawing artists ever, he’s also written and recorded the soundtrack of our lives — including some of the most unforgettable songs on the planet. In early 2018, shortly before his 77th birthday, Neil Diamond stepped away from live performances after being affected by Parkinson’s. However, Diamond’s concert legacy continues to be celebrated for audiences worldwide through Las Vegas entertainer Rob Garrett, often called “the best of the best”. Ask Siri “who is the top Neil Diamond tribute artist,” and you’ll hear the same name. Like his idol, Rob Garrett was a Brooklyn, New York native. In May 1974, his parents moved the family from New York City to the Las Vegas Valley, where, two years later, he witnessed his first live Neil Diamond show when Diamond debuted in Las Vegas to record crowds at the Aladdin Theater for the Performing Arts (now “PH Live”) in July 1976. Garrett went on to see him 16 more times across the country—right up until Diamond’s last American show at the LA Forum on August 12, 2017. In 1980, Garrett created his own band, “Rock n Roll Heaven,” and enjoyed a long and successful run in Las Vegas and across the nation before transitioning from lead singer of a cover band to a tribute artist dedicated to one of his musical idols. In 1995, Garrett was hand-picked by Paul Revere, leader of “The Raiders” to portray Neil Diamond in the world-famous “Legends in Concert” review. What was meant to be a short engagement turned into a three-year success. By August 1998, Garrett was back in Vegas and continued to perform with “Legends” for another two years before deciding to create his own tribute production.
