ROB GARRETT’S “King of Diamonds” Vegas residency show continues in the “Modern Showrooms Las Vegas” at Alexis Park Las Vegas Hotel.
Neil Diamond is one of the most successful and beloved singer/songwriters in rock and pop music history.
In addition to being one of the top-selling and concert drawing artists ever, he’s also written and recorded 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 retired from touring after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
However, Diamond’s on-stage legacy continues to be celebrated for audiences worldwide through longtime Las Vegas performer 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 always hear Rob Garrett.
Like his idol, Rob Garrett was a Brooklyn, New York native.
In the spring of 1974, his parents moved the family from New York City to Las Vegas, where, in 1976, he witnessed his first live Neil Diamond show 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 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 created Rob Garrett Neil Diamond Tribute Show Las Vegas his own band, “Rock n Roll Heaven,” and enjoyed a long and successful run 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 selected by Paul Revere (of The Raiders) to portray Neil Diamond in the world-famous “Legends in Concert” review.
What was meant to be a three-month trial turned into a three-year success.
By August 1998, Garrett returned home to Las Vegas and continued to perform with “Legends” for another two years before deciding to launch his own show.
He began a steady touring schedule, building a strong worldwide fan community along the way—earning the title “King of Diamonds.”
He continues to draw packed houses nationwide, often in venues that typically host major artists.
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 this year, 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 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 nation’s sole ongoing Neil Diamond tribute show.
Alexis Park Resort Hotel is located at 375 E. Harmon Ave., about a quarter mile from Paradise Road.
