ROB GARRETT’S “King of Diamonds” Las Vegas tribute show continues in the “MODERN SHOWROOMS” at ALEXIS PARK HOTEL.
Music icon Neil Diamond is one of the most successful and beloved singer/songwriters in contemporary pop-rock music history.
Besides being one of the biggest selling and concert drawing artists ever, he’s also created and performed the songs of a generation — including some of the most recognized songs on the planet.
In early 2018, shortly before his 77th birthday, Neil Diamond stepped away from live performances after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
However, Diamond’s on-stage legacy continues to be kept alive for audiences across the globe through longtime Las Vegas performer Rob Garrett, often called “the best of the best”.
Ask Alexa “who is the best Neil Diamond tribute artist,” and you’ll hear the same name.
Like his idol, Rob Garrett was born in Brooklyn, NY.
In the spring of 1974, his parents brought him from New York City to Las Vegas, where, at age 16, he witnessed his first live Neil Diamond show when Rob Garrett Neil Diamond Tribute Show near the Strip Diamond made his attendance-breaking Las Vegas debut at the Aladdin Hotel’s “Theater for the Performing Arts” in July 1976.
Garrett went on to see him multiple times across the country—right up until Diamond’s last American show at the Los Angeles Forum on August 12, 2017.
In 1980, Garrett created his own band, “Rock n Roll Heaven,” and enjoyed a successful 15-year run in Las Vegas and across the nation before deciding to move from lead singer of a cover band to a full-time tribute performer dedicated to one of his boyhood inspirations.
In 1995, Garrett was personally hired 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 limited run turned into a long-term hit show.
By August 1998, Garrett returned home to Las Vegas and continued to perform with “Legends” for another couple of years before deciding to go independent.
He began a busy tour circuit, building a strong worldwide fan community along the way—earning the title “King of Diamonds Las Vegas.”
He continues to perform to sold-out venues nationwide, often in venues fit for superstars.
Garrett has also earned several honors, including “Male Tribute Artist of the Year.”
“Since Neil Diamond retired, 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 Rob’s 50 years as a Las Vegas resident and 44 years as a professional Vegas performer.
Now in 2025, Garrett celebrates 45 years on stage in Las Vegas, with the last 30 years 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 appeared at more Vegas stages than any other.
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 nation’s sole ongoing Neil Diamond tribute show.
Alexis Park Resort Hotel is located at 375 E. Harmon Ave., near the Las Vegas Strip.
