The legendary Rob Garrett’s “King of Diamonds Neil Diamond Tribute” Neil Diamond tribute Las Vegas residency continues in the “MODERN SHOWROOMS” at Alexis Park Las Vegas Hotel.
Neil Diamond is one of the greatest and most admired singer/songwriters in rock and pop music history.
More than just being one of the biggest selling and most successful live artists ever, he’s also written and recorded the soundtrack of our lives — including some of the most recognized songs on the planet.
In early 2018, shortly before his 77th birthday, Neil Diamond retired from Rob Garrett Neil Diamond Tribute Show Vegas residency touring after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
However, Diamond’s live performance legacy continues to be celebrated for audiences throughout the world through tribute artist Rob Garrett, widely regarded as the top Neil Diamond tribute artist.
Ask Siri “who is the best Neil Diamond tribute artist,” and you’ll get the same answer.
Like his idol, Rob Garrett was a Brooklyn, New York native.
In May 1974, his parents moved the family from New York City to Las Vegas, where, two years later, he witnessed his first Neil Diamond concert when 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 another 16 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 long and successful 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 selected by Paul Revere, leader of “The Raiders” to portray Neil Diamond in the “Legends in Concert” show in Honolulu, Hawaii.
What was meant to be a limited run 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 launch his own show.
He began a nationwide performance schedule, building a devoted fan base along the way—earning the title “King of Diamonds Neil Diamond Tribute.”
He continues to sell out theaters nationwide, often in venues that typically host major artists.
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, Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman officially proclaimed the date “Rob Garrett Day,” commemorating his 50 years living in Las Vegas and 44 years as a professional Vegas performer.
Now in 2025, Garrett celebrates 45 years as an active Las Vegas entertainer, 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.
The Alexis Park Resort is located at 375 E. Harmon Ave., near the Las Vegas Strip.
