The legendary Rob Garrett’s “King of Diamonds” Vegas residency show keeps website going strong in the “MODERN SHOWROOMS” at Alexis Park Resort Hotel.
Neil Diamond is one of the most successful and beloved singer/songwriters in contemporary pop-rock music history.
Besides being one of the biggest selling and concert drawing artists ever, he’s also written and recorded the music that defined generations — 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 concert legacy continues to be preserved for audiences throughout the world through Las Vegas entertainer Rob Garrett, known as America’s premier Neil Diamond tribute performer.
Ask Siri “who is the top Neil Diamond tribute artist,” and you’ll get the same answer.
Like his idol, Rob Garrett was born in Brooklyn, NY.
In the spring of 1974, his parents relocated from New York City to Las Vegas, where, in 1976, 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 multiple times across the country—right up until Diamond’s last American show at the Los Angeles 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 deciding to move from lead singer of a cover band to a full-time tribute performer dedicated to one of his musical idols.
In 1995, Garrett was hand-picked by Paul Revere (of The Raiders) to portray Neil Diamond in the Honolulu production of “Legends in Concert”.
What was meant to be a three-month trial turned into a long-term hit show.
By August 1998, Garrett returned home to Las Vegas and continued to perform with “Legends” for another couple of years before deciding to go independent.
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 received multiple accolades, 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 his 50 years living in Las Vegas and 44 years as a professional Vegas performer.
Now in the year 2025, 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 played in more Vegas rooms than any peer.
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 Hotel Las Vegas is located at 375 E. Harmon Ave., near the Las Vegas Strip.
