Rob Garrett's Neil Diamond: The Tribute comes to Atlantic City

(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ) -- The Grand at Golden Nugget Atlantic City presents Rob Garrett's Neil Diamond Tribute on Saturday, August 15, 2026 at 8:00pm. The longtime Las Vegas performer has been called "the best of the best" when it comes to tribute acts.

Neil Diamond is one of the most successful and beloved singer/songwriters in pop/rock music history. In January 2018, shortly before his 77th birthday, Neil Diamond announced his retirement from performing due to being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. However, Diamond’s live performance legacy continues to be preserved for audiences all over the world through longtime Las Vegas performer, Rob Garrett.

In 1980, Garrett formed his own band, “Rock n Roll Heaven”, and had a very successful 15-year run before deciding to make the transition from being the front man of a cover band to a tribute artist of one of his all-time, boyhood, musical idols. In 1995, Garrett was personally hired by Paul Revere (leader/founder of "the Raiders") to portray Neil Diamond in the “Legends in Concert” show in Honolulu, Hawaii, the city’s biggest theatrical show and the world’s most popular celebrity impersonator review. What was to be a three-month ‘trial” engagement for Garrett ended up being a three-year run.

In August of 1998, Garrett returned home to Las Vegas and continued to perform periodically with “Legends” for another 2 years before deciding to go off on his own and create his own Neil Diamond tribute show. He began a steady tour schedule while accumulating a large, loyal, following along the way to whom he is known worldwide as the ‘’King of Diamonds”. He continues to consistently perform to sold out venues around the country – many of which are usually reserved for national acts. He has also received numerous awards over the years and in December of 2025, his show was named “Best Tribute Show in Las Vegas” by Travelmarketreport.com.

Tickets start at $57.15 and are available for purchase online. The venue is located at 2100 Pacific Avenue in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Now in 2026, Garrett celebrates over 45 years as an actively, working, Las Vegas entertainer/musician, with the last 31-years solely dedicated to paying tribute to the now retired Diamond. 

It has been said that arguably, no other tribute act is as identified with the artist he or she emulates more so than Garrett - who has performed his show at more venues in Las Vegas than any other tribute artist.
