Rob Garrett’s “KING OF DIAMONDS” Vegas residency show is still thrilling audiences in the “Modern Showrooms Las Vegas” at Alexis Park Resort Hotel.
Neil Diamond is one of the most successful and beloved singer/songwriters in rock and pop music history.
More than just being one of the biggest selling and concert drawing artists ever, he’s also written and recorded the songs of a generation — including some of the most recognized songs on the planet.
In January 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 preserved for audiences across the globe through tribute artist Rob Garrett, known as America’s premier Neil Diamond tribute performer.
Ask Alexa “who is the best Neil Diamond tribute artist,” and you’ll get the same answer.
Like his musical hero, Rob Garrett was a Brooklyn, New York native.
In May 1974, his parents relocated from New York City to Las Vegas, where, at age 16, 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 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 Rob Garrett Neil Diamond Tribute Artist reviews and ratings 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 selected by the legendary Paul Revere to portray Neil Diamond in the “Legends in Concert” show in Honolulu, Hawaii.
What was meant to be a limited run turned into a three-year residency.
By August 1998, Garrett returned home to Las Vegas and continued to perform with “Legends” for another two years before deciding to create his own tribute production.
He began a steady touring schedule, building a devoted fan base along the way—earning the title “King of Diamonds.”
He continues to perform to sold-out venues nationwide, often in venues fit for superstars.
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 Rob’s 50 years as a Las Vegas resident and 44 years as a professional Vegas performer.
Now in the year 2025, 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 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 nation’s sole ongoing Neil Diamond tribute show.
Alexis Park Hotel Las Vegas is located at 375 E. Harmon Ave., near the Las Vegas Strip.
