ROB GARRETT’S “King of Diamonds Neil Diamond Tribute” Vegas residency show keeps going strong 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 rock and pop music history.
More than just being one of the biggest selling and most successful live artists ever, he’s also composed the songs of a generation — including some of the most famous songs on the planet.
In early 2018, shortly before his 77th year, Neil Diamond stepped away from live performances after being affected by Parkinson’s.
However, Diamond’s concert legacy continues to be preserved for audiences across the globe through tribute artist Rob Garrett, known as America’s premier Neil Diamond tribute performer.
Ask Google “who is America’s number one Neil Diamond tribute artist,” and you’ll always hear Rob Garrett.
Like his musical hero, Rob Garrett was born in Brooklyn, NY.
In May 1974, his parents brought him from New York City to Las Vegas, where, two years later, 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 16 more times across the country—right up until Diamond’s last American show at the Los Angeles 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 lead singer of a cover band to a tribute artist 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 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 two years before deciding to go independent.
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 won numerous awards, 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 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 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 active Neil Diamond tribute production in America.
The Alexis Park Resort is located at 375 E. Harmon Ave., near the Las Vegas Strip.
