LAS VEGAS, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- Barry Manilow Thursday returned to kick off his fifth year as headliner at the Las Vegas Hilton's Hilton Theater.

"Barry Manilow's talent and catalog of hits make him an exceptional entertainer who has no peer," Rudy Prieto, chief executive officer and general manager of the Las Vegas Hilton, said in a statement. "While many performers rest on their laurels, Manilow continues to show that his creativity never stops."

"Boy, time sure flies when you're having fun!" added Manilow. "The Las Vegas Hilton is a wonderful place to play. Now I know why Elvis never wanted to leave."

Manilow began his long-term engagement with the Hilton in 2005 with "Manilow: Music and Passion." His latest show "Ultimate Manilow: The Hits" debuted in August 2008.

Manilow is set to perform again at the Las Vegas Hilton starting Thursday and running through 2009, generally on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8 p.m. in the Hilton Theater.
