Splish Splash-The Bobby Darin Nightclub Experience

08/27/2026

"They were called the ultimate entertainers. Bobby Darin and Sammy Davis Jr. shared a rare kind of kinetic energy—they didn't just sing; they commanded the room with every step and every note. Sammy once said of the era's performers that you had to 'do it all' to survive in Vegas, and nobody did it all quite like these two.

Whether it was the drums, the dance, or the soaring vocals, they set the gold standard for what a nightclub experience should be. It's that same 'do it all' spirit that we bring to every show of the Splish Splash experience.

Do you have a favorite memory of seeing Sammy or Bobby on a variety show? Let me know in the comments, and please be sure to Like my page for more stories from the showroom!

During The Sopranos Season 6, Episode 21 Bobby Darin is brought up because one of the mob guys' first name was Walden, so he mentions the fact that he was named after Bobby Darin whose real first name was "Walden"

One of the greatest entertainers ever was Jackie Wilson. Michael Jackson attributed much of his performance to Wilson whose singing and dance moves were unseen before he came on the scene. Motown founder, Berry Gordy, called Jackie "the greatest singer I ever heard" (and he heard quite a few). Jackie was known as Mr. Excitement. Bobby was only two years younger and put as much of Jackie's stage presence into his own show-singing and dancing! #

Two great entertainers NEVER did a show together! Bobby Darin and Paul Anka did not appear on the same stage together, but The Dream Concert starring Lou Villano, singing the Anka tunes, and, Ron Gartner singing the Darin songs, changes all that!
