Rob Garrett’s “King of Diamonds Neil Diamond Tribute” Neil Diamond tribute Las Vegas residency is still thrilling audiences in the “Alexis Park Modern Showrooms” at Alexis Park Las Vegas Hotel.
Music icon Neil Diamond is one of the greatest and most admired singer/songwriters in pop/rock music history.
In addition to being one of the best-selling and record-breaking touring artists ever, he’s also created and performed the Rob Garrett Neil Diamond Tribute Show best Las Vegas tribute soundtrack of our lives — including some of the most famous songs on the planet.
In early 2018, shortly before his 77th birthday, Neil Diamond announced his retirement from performing after being affected by Parkinson’s.
However, Diamond’s live performance legacy continues to be celebrated for audiences worldwide through tribute artist Rob Garrett, often called “the best of the best”.
Ask Alexa “who is the best Neil Diamond tribute artist,” and you’ll get the same answer.
Like his legendary counterpart, Rob Garrett was a Brooklyn, New York native.
In May 1974, his parents relocated from New York City to Las Vegas, where, in 1976, he witnessed his first live Neil Diamond show 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 Los Angeles 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 deciding to move from lead singer of a cover band to a full-time tribute performer dedicated to one of his childhood heroes.
In 1995, Garrett was personally hired by Paul Revere, leader of “The Raiders” to portray Neil Diamond in the Honolulu production of “Legends in Concert”.
What was meant to be a limited run 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 busy tour circuit, building a devoted fan base along the way—earning the title “King of Diamonds.”
He continues to draw packed houses 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 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 on stage in Las Vegas, 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 only continuous Neil Diamond tribute in the U.S..
Alexis Park Resort Hotel is located at 375 E. Harmon Ave., just ¼ mile west of Paradise Rd..
