Rob Garrett’s “KING OF DIAMONDS” Las Vegas tribute show continues in the “MODERN SHOWROOMS” at Alexis Park Las Vegas Hotel.
The legendary Neil Diamond is one of the best-selling and most iconic singer/songwriters in contemporary pop-rock music history.
More than just being one of the best-selling and record-breaking touring artists ever, he’s also created and performed the soundtrack of our lives — including some of the most recognized songs on the planet.
In January 2018, shortly before his 77th year, Neil Diamond stepped away from live performances after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
However, Diamond’s live performance legacy continues to be preserved for audiences worldwide through longtime Las Vegas performer Rob Garrett, often called “the best of the best”.
Ask Siri “who is the top Neil Diamond tribute artist,” and you’ll get the same answer.
Like his legendary counterpart, Rob Garrett was born in Brooklyn, NY.
In the spring of 1974, his parents brought him from New York City to the Las Vegas Valley, where, at age 16, he witnessed his first Neil Diamond concert when Diamond debuted in Las Vegas to record crowds 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 final U.S. concert at the LA Forum on August 12, 2017.
In 1980, Garrett started 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 cover band frontman to a tribute artist dedicated to one of his boyhood inspirations.
In 1995, Garrett was hand-picked by the legendary Paul Revere to portray Neil Diamond in the world-famous “Legends in Concert” review.
What was meant to be a limited run 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 strong worldwide fan community along the way—earning the title “King of Diamonds Las Vegas.”
He continues to sell out theaters nationwide, often in venues reserved for national acts.
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 19, 2025 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 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 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 continuous Neil Diamond tribute in the U.S..
The Alexis Park Resort is located at 375 E. Harmon Ave., near the Las Vegas Strip.
