Manilow's personal life caused quite a stir in the late 1980s when an American tabloid claimed he was engaged to porn star Robin Byrd. On a June 22, 1989 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, Manilow was asked by Carson about the headline story.[53] He disputed the story telling Carson he is just friends with Byrd and an innocent picture was taken and that there is no truth to them being engaged. After he met Byrd, his band gave him a videotape of Debbie Does Dallas as a present for his birthday. Manilow added to Carson that he can't watch his friend doing that.[54] It turned out to be a publicity stunt by Byrd who used Manilow to gain greater fame.

Prior to 2005, Manilow had decided to stop touring when an offer came from the Hilton to have a steady gig in Las Vegas. It was an offer he couldn't refuse and he joined the growing list of headliners who have made the city their home away from home for extended periods. Manilow is ... following in the footsteps of Elvis, who performed regularly in the Hilton Theater for eight years.
