Orlando Meets Vegas
Singer Tony Orlando is no stranger to the venues of Las Vegas, having performed here regularly in the 1970s and ’80s during the height of his fame.
Paired with Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent, Tony Orlando and Dawn (as the trio was known) took America by storm in the ’70s with hit singles like “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree” and “Knock Three Times,” as well as a genre-defying television show, Tony Orlando and Dawn Rainbow Hour.
These days, Orlando is a pop culture legend, name-dropped everywhere from a Yo La Tengo song to an episode of The Simpsons. The singer is ringing in the new year in a city he knows well, and audience members will finally be able to celebrate with the legend live and in person. Admission to Tony Orlando’s New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner and Show includes dinner, an open bar, party favors and a champagne toast at midnight.
Tony Orlando appears at the South Point Hotel & Casino December 31 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $150.
