Gladys Knight Performing in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Headline entertainer Gladys Knight will begin an
open-ended run of performances starting February 12th at the Flamingo
in her hometown, Las Vegas. Knight will perform seven shows over five
nights each week with tickets running $45 and $55.
Knight has apparently taken more of a financial stake in the run than
normal, according to Flamingo Vice President of Marketing, Randy
Sears, "It's more of a partnership between us and Gladys." Knight has
performed short stints at Vegas hotels in the past, and in 2000
starred in a longer run of the musical 'Smokey Joe's Cafe' at Caesars
Palace. "I'm a homebody. I love being at home," Knight said at the
time. She has been a resident of Las vegas since the 1970s and joined
the LDS Church after her son, James Newman, introduced the Church to
her. Newman, who managed Knight's affairs, died of bilateral
pneumonia in 1999.
