Last call for Manilow … for now

Barry Manilow.

This week is your last chance to catch the man, the Manilow, in his Ultimate show at the Hilton. Barry Manilow is moving to Paris in the springtime. Paris Las Vegas, that is, with an all-new show of his mostly old hits. Which means you have just three more days to sip a glass of Manilow Merlot at the Ultimate Bar, or buy Barry-branded merch at the Hilton’s Manilow boutique.

The Details

Ultimate Manilow: The Hits
December 28-30, 8 p.m. $65-$225
Las Vegas Hilton, 732-5111

Manilow at 66 is a tireless performer, hitting and holding the notes, cheerily joshing himself and his fans—he might just be the most effective mood elevator on the market. And if you’ve never seen him perform in person, be forewarned: A sizable contingent of Manilow’s cult considers him erotic. When a lyric happens to mention touching or being touched, hungry howls go up from the crowd. And when he makes rumpy-pumpy motions, it seems the roof may cave in.
