"KING OF DIAMONDS" (tribute to Neil Diamond) starring Rob Garrett & the "Pretty Amazing Band"

“KING OF DIAMONDS” SHOW AT ALEXIS PARK RESORT HOTEL CONTINUES TO ATTRACT NEIL DIAMOND FANS FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE

Neil Diamond is one of the most successful and beloved singer/songwriters in pop/rock music history.
After all, besides being one of the biggest selling and concert drawing artists ever, the man has also written and recorded the soundtrack of our lives – which include some of the most recognized songs on the planet.

In January 2018, shortly before his 77th birthday, Neil Diamond announced his retirement from performing due to being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. However, Diamond’s live performance legacy continues to be preserved for audiences all over the world through longtime Las Vegas performer, Rob Garrett, who has been called “the best of the best” when it comes to tribute acts. Arguable? Perhaps, but simply ask Alexa, Google, or Siri, “who is America's number one Neil Diamond tribute artist" and they’ll all give you the same answer.

Like his legendary counterpart, Rob Garrett was born in Brooklyn, NY.
In May of 1974, his parents moved him from New York City to Las Vegas where, 2 years later, he witnessed his first Neil Diamond concert when Diamond made his attendance breaking Las Vegas debut for the opening of the Aladdin Hotel’s “Theater for the Performing Arts” (now the “PH LIVE” Theater) in July of 1976.
Garrett went on to see him yet another 16 times at various venues across the country - right up until Diamond’s last USA concert at the Los Angeles Forum on August 12, 2017.

In 1980, he formed his own band, “Rock n Roll Heaven”, and had a very successful 15-year run in Las Vegas and around the country, before deciding to make the transition from being the front man of a cover band to a tribute artist of one of his all-time, boyhood, musical idols.

In 1995, Garrett was personally hired by Paul Revere (leader/founder of "the Raiders") to portray Neil Diamond in the “Legends in Concert” show in Honolulu, Hawaii, the city’s biggest theatrical show and the world’s most popular celebrity impersonator review. What was to be a three-month ‘trial” engagement for Garrett ended up being a three-year run.

In August of 1998, Garrett returned home to Las Vegas and continued to perform periodically with “Legends” for another 2 years before deciding to go off on his own and create his own Neil Diamond tribute show.

He began a steady tour schedule while accumulating a large, loyal, following along the way to whom he is known worldwide as the ‘’King of Diamonds”.
He continues to consistently perform to sold out venues around the country – many of which are usually reserved for national acts. He has also received numerous awards over the years including “Male Tribute Artist of the Year”.

“Since he (Diamond) announced his retirement, I absolutely felt more of a sense of responsibility to keep his legacy going for future generations”. It’s something I never get tired of doing” he said.

On May 19th, Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman proclaimed the date “Rob Garrett Day, commemorating Rob’s 50-years as a Las Vegas resident and 44-years as a professional Las Vegas performer.

And now in 2025, Garrett celebrates 45 years as an actively, working, Las Vegas entertainer/musician, with the last 30-years solely dedicated to paying tribute to the now retired Diamond.

It has been said that arguably, no other tribute act is as identified with the artist he or she emulates more so than Garrett - who has performed his show at more venues in Las Vegas than any other tribute artist.

Since the June closing of “A Beautiful Noise” (a “jukebox musical” on Broadway depicting Diamond’s life story), Rob’s “King of Diamonds” show has become the only ongoing/continuous Neil Diamond tribute in the country.

Alexis Park Resort/Hotel is is located at 375 E. Harmon Ave., (1/4 mile west of Paradise Rd.).
