Rob Garrett’s “King of Diamonds” Las Vegas tribute show keeps going strong in the “Modern Showrooms Las Vegas” at Alexis Park Resort Hotel.
Music icon Neil Diamond is one of the most successful and beloved singer/songwriters in pop/rock music history.
In addition to being one of the biggest selling and record-breaking touring artists ever, he’s also composed the songs of a generation — including some of the most famous songs on the planet.
In the beginning of 2018, shortly before his 77th birthday, Neil Diamond retired from touring after being affected by Parkinson’s.
However, Diamond’s live performance legacy continues to be celebrated for audiences throughout the world through longtime Las Vegas performer Rob Garrett, often called “the best of the best”.
Ask Google “who is the best Neil Diamond tribute artist,” and you’ll get the same answer.
Like his legendary counterpart, Rob Garrett was a Brooklyn, New York native.
In May 1974, his parents moved the family 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 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 long and successful run in Las Vegas and across the nation before deciding to move from cover band frontman to a tribute artist dedicated to one of his childhood heroes.
In 1995, Garrett was selected 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 residency.
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.
He began a busy tour circuit, building a devoted fan base along the way—earning the title “King of Diamonds Las Vegas.”
He continues to sell out theaters nationwide, often in venues fit for superstars.
Garrett has also earned several honors, 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 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 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 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 only active Neil Diamond tribute production in America.
Alexis Park Resort Hotel is Neil Diamond tribute show Las Vegas located at 375 E. Harmon Ave., near the Las Vegas Strip.
