Brought back a lot of memories. Cudos to lead singer for being a first responder on 9/11 and serving in Iraq.

The Platters show was the best I have ever see. They kept everyone singing to all the songs. I highly recommend seeing their show.

Very nice. Thought the Platters should have been the last act and it would have been nicer if they had done an encore but it was a very pleasant trip back in time and unlike Frankie Vallie, these guys didn't lipsynk. Had a lot of fun.

This concert was fantastic. These three groups did a great job. We enjoyed every minute of each of their songs, performed just like they used to sound. We would love to sit through it again tonight. Thanks to all of them who really seemed to care about great entertainment.

Saw this show last year, different singers in all three bands. I know most all of the original members are either dead or very old and did not expect to see them, but these groups were peicemealed and some even shared members. The entertainment value was good, but did'nt care for the groups doing other groups material. Even a Platters tribute band plays only Platters. Probably won't go again.

This was upbeat, smooth moving and entertaining. It brought back lots and lots of good memories from my growing up years. The performers were all great and sounded wonderful.

I LOVED this concert. GREAT songs. Sounded like the originals. Audience was happy. Even my son and daughter in law who are in their 30's enjoyed it. Would go again.

We went expecting to see a show like we saw in Vegas several years ago with the full groups. Thought we would be sorry when we found out it was only the "Lead" singer of each group...Wrong... It was an excellent show! I guess these guys were the lead singers for a reason. Wow, they can still hit ALL the notes. How they do it I don't know but they can really belt it out. It was a very good blending of the different styles and songs. Each Star had their time in the spotlight and there was not a soft spot anywhere in the lineup.

The music and atmosphere of the performance was memorable. Since this was the music that my parents enjoyed, it made me appreciated their generation even more. Back to simplier times, with a class of music that is not often seen today. The performance reflected that class. Would recommend this event to all ages and remind them all to have an open mind to truly appreciate this genre of music!

Platters had two outstanding voices and sang as memorable as the originals. All groups were outstanding with interaction with audience, came onto the auditorium floor to greet and shake hands during event. Had the famous and great songs. Very entertaining singing the songs everyone remembered and wanted to hear.

The Platters were sensational. Lead singer is magnificent, could listen to him all night, he truly has an amazing voice. Captured The Platters sound to a "T". Unfortunately, Danny and The Juniors have lost their voices, they tried hard to put on a good show but, it was just not there. I heard several people talking on the way out, it was painfully sad listening to them and I agreed.

Danny & The Juniors made for a nice trip down memory lane. Danny's has lost his voice & that made for a poor show. The Platters were the best tribute group I have ever heard. Would like to know where they are performing again. Harrahs should have booked them for a longer period of time.

I made a mistake. I bought tickets for one date and made reservations for a week earlier. We managed to exchange the tickets for another show(The Flamingos. They put on a GREAT show and recommend them to everyone who enjoys oldies. On the ticket exchange we had closer and better seats. The rating above is for the Flamingos.

Watching the Platters was like being at a broadway show, I could have listened to them all night long. Danny and the Juniors is by far the best oldies group I've seen they know how to put on a true show

We have always enjoyed the music of the Platters and this show did not disappoint. We were concerned that, since they are not the originals obviously, they would add too much of their own style and change what we remember so well. But they did not. They sounded much like the original Platters and more!! They were dressed to the nines as well. If you choose to see this show, you will be glad you did. We didn't want the show to end!!!

My husband & I totally enjoyed the whole show. The Coasters were my favorite. I relived my younger days listening & singing with them. Oh, the memories it brought back. I could have stayed there all night listening and watching all the groups perform.

Thought the Coasters were very entertaining and that the Platters were awesome. Their lead singer sounded so original (and I don't know without checking whether he was or was not) that I didn't even mind when they changed the arrangement a little. The Drifters, however, were a little of a disappointment. They have been my favorite for years and I was really let down that they did not sing more of the old hits. Also, the lead singer tended to take the songs out much too long. To the point where you were getting bored with it. How could they not do "There Goes My Baby"??????? The show was really good overall and I would not hesitate to come to the Winstar for more in the gendre.

All groups did a good job and yes I would recommend this concert to others. I would like to have heard more of each group, 30 minutes is not really enough time.

Loved the music and the band was wonderful. Disappointed that there was no written program with information about the groups and the band. Also expected to be able to buy CD's in the lobby afterwards. Would like to have seen the three groups come on stage for a final tribute. Would have expected the Platters to close the evening as they are the most recognized, outstanding group.

Enjoyed the show. A bit disappointed that the music is just not the same. Now they use an electric guitar and bass and the keyboard with synthasised music replaces the original instruments. Also, would have liked to see the entire cast in a finale. The show seemed disorganized and ended abruptly. I was not sure it was over until the drummer waved his sticks at us.

Artists were good. Great band. Seating sucks big time. I doubt I will be back. I was supposed to meet the guitarist after the show who I know but security wouldn't help me at all. Not a happy camper. One security guy was a jerk. Others were very nice but no one would help me get in touch with my friend

Coasters were fun-Platters were amazing. Only thing that kept this from being 5 stars were the Drifters, Who was this little lead singer? He came out missing words, dropping off of sections of song and looking like he was high...his jokes were off-color. he came alive after awhile and was good, but the beginning had the crowd totally somber after being on such a roll with The Platters, Took awhile for us to feel he was going to be OK and not a train-wreck. I repeat-who is he?

The Platters, Coasters, and Drifters delivered energetic performances featuring great vocals. Certainly worth the price and a load of fun. The lead singer for the Platters was awesome.....

Disappointing. Would Probably not recommend. Band is definitely a mismatch and did more harm than good. Maybe a band with more 50's and 60's music instead of country would be a better fit

The Costers were very good. They did 2 extra songs. The Platters were entertaining. They had several good songs. The Drifters were awful. The singer was awful. People started to leave during the Drifters.

90 minute show, 30 minutes each. Enough time for each to get through their hits and a few other songs thrown in. Mostly just the lead singer was an original, other newer (younger) folks fill out the group. The singers worked hard. The band was solid. A good show. The audience was mostly in their 60s, appropriate to the night. The Drifters closed the show, but it should have ben the Platters, since they had more/better hits.

The Platters were great, but why didn't they sing more of their own songs?...why other artists music when they have so many good ones of their own!? The Coasters opened with the Twist...again, not their songs or music...they were just OK. The Drifters, well forget them. They were terrible, couldn't even understand what the lead singer was saying (loose teeth?)...weak group, not what they used to be. Overall, a Sad performance. Looked forward to a Fun night...instead we were very disappointed and felt we wasted our money!

Everyone in the audience was having a wonderful time. They don't have the showmanship that these artists displayed anymore. What great memories they capture with their show. It was fun watching the performers enjoy themselves as well. It's a show that we would all go see again and again.

My husband and were teenagers in the late 50's and early 60's....so, we loved these groups and their music. We still knew all the words to the songs and we felt like dancing in the aisles. So many good memories associated with the music, too. The entire show from beginning to end was upbeat and fun and fabulous.....we will definitely go again, when they are in town.
