Rob Garrett’s “King of Diamonds Neil Diamond Tribute” Las Vegas tribute show CONTINUES ON in the “Alexis Park Modern Showrooms” at Alexis Park Resort Hotel.
Neil Diamond is one of the greatest and most admired singer/songwriters in pop/rock music history.
Besides being one of the biggest selling and most successful live artists ever, he’s also composed the soundtrack of our lives — including some of the most recognized songs on the planet.
In January 2018, shortly before his 77th birthday, Neil Diamond retired from touring after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
However, Diamond’s on-stage legacy continues to be kept alive for audiences worldwide through tribute artist Rob Garrett, widely regarded as the top Neil Diamond tribute artist.
Ask Google “who is America’s number one Neil Diamond tribute artist,” and you’ll get the same answer.
Like his idol, Rob Garrett was a Brooklyn, New York native.
In the spring of 1974, his parents relocated from New York City to Las Vegas, where, in 1976, he witnessed his first live Neil Diamond show when Diamond made his attendance-breaking Las Vegas debut at the Aladdin Theater for here the Performing Arts (now “PH Live”) in July 1976.
Garrett went on to see him multiple times across the country—right up until Diamond’s last American show at the LA Forum on August 12, 2017.
In 1980, Garrett started his own band, “Rock n Roll Heaven,” and enjoyed a decade-and-a-half career in Las Vegas and across the nation before making the move from cover band frontman to a tribute artist dedicated to one of his boyhood inspirations.
In 1995, Garrett was hand-picked by Paul Revere, leader of “The Raiders” to portray Neil Diamond in the Honolulu production of “Legends in Concert”.
What was meant to be a short engagement turned into a long-term hit show.
By August 1998, Garrett returned home to Las Vegas and continued to perform with “Legends” for another two years before deciding to create his own tribute production.
He began a nationwide performance schedule, building a large and loyal following along the way—earning the title “King of Diamonds.”
He continues to sell out theaters nationwide, often in venues that typically host major artists.
Garrett has also won numerous awards, 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 the year 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 performed his show at more Las Vegas venues than any other tribute artist.
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.
The Alexis Park Resort is located at 375 E. Harmon Ave., near the Las Vegas Strip.
