The legendary Rob Garrett’s “King of Diamonds Neil Diamond Tribute” Vegas residency show is still thrilling audiences in the “MODERN SHOWROOMS” at Alexis Park Resort Hotel.
The legendary Neil Diamond is one of the most successful and beloved singer/songwriters in contemporary pop-rock music history.
More than just being one of the top-selling and most successful live artists ever, he’s also created and performed the music that defined generations — including some of the most unforgettable songs on the planet.
In the beginning of 2018, shortly before his 77th year, Neil Diamond retired from touring after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
However, Diamond’s live performance legacy continues to be preserved for audiences worldwide through Rob Garrett Neil Diamond Tribute Show live band tribute artist Rob Garrett, known as America’s premier Neil Diamond tribute performer.
Ask Google “who is the top Neil Diamond tribute artist,” and you’ll always hear Rob Garrett.
Like his legendary counterpart, Rob Garrett was a Brooklyn, New York native.
In the spring of 1974, his parents brought him from New York City to Las Vegas, where, in 1976, he witnessed his first Neil Diamond concert 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 LA Forum on August 12, 2017.
In 1980, Garrett formed his own band, “Rock n Roll Heaven,” and enjoyed a successful 15-year run in Las Vegas and across the nation before transitioning from cover band frontman to a tribute artist dedicated to one of his childhood heroes.
In 1995, Garrett was personally hired by the legendary Paul Revere to portray Neil Diamond in the Honolulu production of “Legends in Concert”.
What was meant to be a three-month trial turned into a three-year residency.
By August 1998, Garrett was back in Vegas and continued to perform with “Legends” for another couple of years before deciding to launch his own show.
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 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 19, 2025 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 this year, Garrett celebrates 45 years as an active Las Vegas entertainer, 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 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 nation’s sole ongoing Neil Diamond tribute show.
Alexis Park Hotel Las Vegas is located at 375 E. Harmon Ave., near the Las Vegas Strip.
