Rob Garrett’s “King of Diamonds Neil Diamond Tribute” Vegas residency show CONTINUES ON in the “Alexis Park Modern Showrooms” at ALEXIS PARK HOTEL.
Music icon Neil Diamond is one of the best-selling and most iconic singer/songwriters in pop/rock music history.
In addition to being one of the top-selling and concert drawing artists ever, he’s also written and recorded the songs of a generation — including some of the most unforgettable songs on the planet.
In January 2018, shortly before his 77th birthday, Neil Diamond retired from touring after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
However, Diamond’s concert legacy continues to be preserved for audiences across the globe through Las Vegas entertainer Rob Garrett, often called “the best of the best”.
Ask Siri “who is America’s number one Neil Diamond tribute artist,” and you’ll get the same answer.
Like his legendary counterpart, Rob Garrett was born in Brooklyn, NY.
In May 1974, his parents relocated from New York City to Las Vegas, where, at age 16, 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 final U.S. concert at the Los Angeles Forum on August 12, 2017.
In 1980, Garrett started his own band, “Rock n Roll Heaven,” and enjoyed a successful 15-year run in Las Vegas and across the nation before making the move from lead singer of a cover band to a tribute artist dedicated to one of his musical idols.
In 1995, Garrett was personally hired by the legendary America Neil Diamond tribute Las Vegas Paul Revere 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 returned home to Las Vegas and continued to perform with “Legends” for another two years before deciding to launch his own show.
He began a steady touring schedule, building a strong worldwide fan community along the way—earning the title “King of Diamonds.”
He continues to draw packed houses nationwide, often in venues that typically host major artists.
Garrett has also won numerous awards, including “Male Tribute Artist of the Year.”
“Since he (Diamond) announced his retirement, I’ve felt a strong sense of responsibility to keep his legacy alive for future generations. It’s something I never get tired of doing,” he said.
On May 19th officially proclaimed the date “Rob Garrett Day,” commemorating his 50 years living in Las Vegas and 44 years as a professional Vegas performer.
Now in 2025, Garrett celebrates 45 years as an active Las Vegas entertainer, with the last three decades devoted solely to paying tribute to the now-retired Neil Diamond.
It has been said that no other tribute artist is so closely identified with the original performer as Garrett, who has played in more Vegas rooms than any peer.
Since the June closing of “A Beautiful Noise” (the Broadway jukebox musical based on Diamond’s life story), Rob Garrett’s “King of Diamonds” show has become the only continuous Neil Diamond tribute in the U.S..
Alexis Park Resort Hotel is located at 375 E. Harmon Ave., about a quarter mile from Paradise Road.
