The show is called Ultimate Manilow-The Hits. Please be aware that nearly 1/2 the show is music from his Mayflower album. I don't know about you, but I'm not aware of any hits from that album. For the prices that you will pay to attend the show, you better really like that album. If I had known this before I purchased tickets, I never would have purchased the tickets.

We took the monorail back to the strip and many people were similarly disappointed with the show. Let the buyer beware!

Barry Manilow has an outstanding voice and it has remained great throughout his carreer. It is nice to hear a performer sing on key and enjoy his work. Since he has numerous hits, we expected a variety of old with new songs. Unfortunately, the night we saw his show he was getting over laryngitis again. Because of this, his backup singers sang a lot more and the show lasted only 58 minutes with no Encore. That was unfortunate considering the cost of the tickets. Barry Manilow has been doing this show for over five years at the Hilton and it must be getting old for him and the band. If you go, just expect an average show that will be short and sweet.

Barry Manilow show was fabulous! Yeah the glow stick was corny, but it's a lot safer than holding up a lighter!
The show was about 1 1/2 hours and he sang the best of his hits. Of course, the encore was copa-cabana! And what a great way to end the show!
Barry's voice is still beautiful, the notes were dead on!
You'd enjoy this show even if you didn't grow up in the 70's!!'
We bought our tickets directly from the Hilton the day of the show. We didn't opt for the $165 stage seats, instead we paid $105 and were a few rows from the back, which turned out to be great seats! We were center stage, and the arena was so small (fits 1400) that most every seat is a great seat!
Enjoy the show, it's certainly worth it!

Perhaps I was expecting too much having seen the 'Music and Passion' DVD, which lasts for about two hours, but the performance was over and done with in about 1 hour 20 minutes. I suppose that's Vegas for you, they want you back on those slots before you get too tired. Barry sang very well, despite an obviously dry throat, and the atmosphere was great. We paid quite a bit for good seats, but in all truth you really don't need to; you can get the atmosphere and sound for much less in some of the less expensive seats, and with the short length of the show you won't come away feeling a little short-changed. The security was a bit OTT as well, which didn't add to the experience. Don't be dissuaded from going, it's a great show, but just don't pay too much for a seat.
