Barry Manilow

LAS VEGAS—Legendary singer-songwriter Barry Manilow is making music and magic at Paris Las Vegas with a new resident show. On Saturday, Manilow threw open the doors to the Paris Theatre at Paris Las Vegas with a reimagined stage show that is both more intimate and more exciting than ever before.

“This agreement with Barry Manilow, a superstar with worldwide appeal, helps extend and solidify the Paris brand overall,” said general manager of the Las Vegas Paris. “The Paris Hotel, in signing this long-term agreement, is recapturing its entertainment glory with one of the most popular singers of our time.” The formal announcement of the agreement was made today at a news conference at the property featuring Manilow.

Barry Manilow will debut his show “Manilow: Music and Passion” on March 6, 2010, exclusively at the Paris Hotel. After more than three decades of performing and a career that has produced more than 50 albums, Manilow has signed on to perform for crowds with 5 shows a week for 24 weeks throughout 2010 and into 2011.

Manilow just completed his final road tour “One Night Live! One Last Time!”, selling out venues in 22 cities in which he performed for 250,000 fans and promoted his latest album “SCORES-Songs from Copacabana and Harmony.” Said Manilow, “I’ve spent the last three months telling audiences that since I wouldn’t be touring again, the only way to see me is if you come to my home! Well, I’ve got a new home...The Paris Hotel! Las Vegas is now the home to a large number of talented performers and I feel lucky to be joining the group.””

The Paris Hotel ranks among the world’s most famous and popular resort destinations, located on the Las Vegas Strip and adjacent to the Planet Hollywood. Paris Las Vegas is a Harrah's Entertainment resort. From its dramatic 50-story replica of the Eiffel
Tower to authentic architectural reproductions, Paris Las Vegas features elegant décor, European-inspired boutiques and a distinctive array of fine cuisine, including Chef Joho's acclaimed Eiffel
Tower Restaurant, Les Artistes Steakhouse and French-bistro Mon Ami Gabi. The resort celebrates
the romance and excitement of the European City of Light. In the heart of the famous Las Vegas Strip, the passion and sophistication of Paris Las Vegas transports guests to Europe's most romantic city.

Manilow will perform 78 shows each year for two years at Paris Las Vegas. The shows are produced by AEG Live in conjunction with Paris Las Vegas. Tickets for performances through July 18, 2010 are currently on-sale.

“The audience in Vegas is always energized and electric, so I know that the Paris Las Vegas is
going to be a special run,” said Manilow. “I’m planning something new for this performance; definitely not to be missed.”
