@The Illiterate: Good call. It seems like Neil Diamond was born to play Vegas, no?

Neil Diamond

The Motown Revue: Smokey, Stevie, Diana Ross, whoever's left of the Temps and the Four Tops, and including the all important "We Remember Marvin Medley".

They'd never do it, and no one there would understand it, but the Pet Shop Boys could put on an incredible Vegas show.

@hey_stephen: All pretentious and portentous artistes that I am sick of hearing about should be legally mandated to play Vegas until they realize that they're here to entertain us and lucky to have their cushy show-biz jobs.
Besides, Radiohead playing a floor show 12 times a week would be far more bizarre and revolutionary than jerking around with samplers and delay pedals.

@K-Rex: We had a similar idea yesterday in the Chris Cornell post. He can play songs from two popular rock acts, that new weird Timbaland stuff, and while he is at it, he could play a bunch of other people's songs.....Why not? Nothing else is real there. Nobody would know the difference if he was singing a Pearl Jam song or a Soundgarden song or more accurately, nobody would care.

The Beastie Boys would probably be up to it. Provided there is a basketball court installed in the green room.

No need to compound Santana playing Vegas with performances of "Smooth". (Then again, that might be exactly what the Vegas crowd wants to hear.) Stevie Wonder? I can see that. Kanye West would probably put on a hip-hop version of Celine Dion's show. Ugh.

Dunno if they've got the fanbase for it, but Outkast would probably be awesome in that situation.

I’m looking forward to seeing Santana’s custom, psychedelic T-shirt featuring Hendrix and Celine Dion.
