Additionally, Merald “Bubba” Knight, one of the original members of the Pips, will be featured as part of Knight’s showl.
“I’m thrilled to be returning to the Las Vegas Strip and am very happy to be coming back home," says Knight. "It’s always been a dream of mine to have my own showroom and I’m excited to showcase songs ranging from both my greatest hits to my new album."
The Empress of Soul will be welcomed home by the Tropicana for a multi-month engagement. The show can be seen Tuesday through Thursday at 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday at 9 p.m., beginning April 5.
“We are extremely excited to add Gladys Knight as part of our overall transformation of Tropicana Las Vegas,” says Tom McCartney, President and Chief Operating Officer of Tropicana Las Vegas. “We believe her intimate and up close performance fits in perfectly with our strategy of exceeding our guest’s expectations. We are confident our guests will leave grateful to have spent an intimate evening with one of the greatest performers of all time.”
Knight will be releasing a new album in late spring or early summer and has teamed up again with Producer Randy Jackson, whom she previously worked with on her album released in 2000.
