Barry Manilow in Las Vegas almost seems too obvious to warrant mentioning. The singer has made a career of lounge-influenced pop hits that fit so seamlessly with the city's glitzy ambiance that it's really a surprise that Manilow didn't show up at the Hilton Las Vegas any earlier in his career. And it's been quite an illustrious one - though critical praise has often been lacking for the man who brought the world "Copacabana" and "Mandy," Manilow's popularity has never been in question. And the Las Vegas Barry Manilow is even better - taking his greatest hits and rearranging them for one of the country's biggest draws, the artist embodies the setting of Sin City as well as any performer ever has.

Adult Contemporary seems to have recently been given new life in Las Vegas (see also: Celine Dion), so it seems logical that Manilow ended up here. Throughout his career, even while critics derided his songwriting skills, few every questioned his dedication to the art of showmanship. Notoriously theatrical, Manilow's shows were always over the top, always a spectacle, always about performance just as much as the songs.

Only you are joined by 1700 of your closest friends in the legendary Hilton Theater.
