"Barry Manilow back in Vegas" by Nina King
Las Vegas Magazine, 16 September 2021

On Wednesday, Sept. 15, Westgate Las Vegas celebrated the return of Barry Manilow to the hotel with a special presentation and unveiling of a huge panel stretching several stories on the hotel’s exterior. As fans and hotel guests gathered in the porte cochére to catch a glimpse of the entertainer during a press conference announcing his return to the iconic International Theater, they were treated to a flash mob dancing to Manilow’s famous hit, “Copacabana.”

After the performance, Westgate President and General Manager Cami Christensen welcomed fans and spoke about Manilow’s return. “Eighteen months ago, we said goodbye to the Manilow family. And sadly, we did not know when they were going to return,” she said. “...There are 2,000 team members in that building right there that are so excited to have you back. And they miss you so much. Welcome home.”

With that, the spry singer took to the stage and said a few words, and as the crowd counted down, the huge panel was unveiled. Barry Manilow: The Hits Come Home resumes Sept. 16, and plays several dates every month, continuing into 2022. Westgate Las Vegas, Sept. 16-18 & 23-25, Oct. 14-16 & 21-23, Nov. 11-13 and Dec. 2-4, 800.745.3000 (Ticketmaster).
