Swan began at the hotel in June, 1980, when he opened for Breck Wall's "Bravo Vegas." He became a local favorite with his Welsh humor, which has been adapted for American audiences.

Later, when the Imperial Palace decided on a star policy in the Imperial Theatre, Swan was the opening act. He opened for Lovelace Watkins, The Platters, Djan Tatlian and worked with The Mamas The Papas and Gary Puck-ett. With only time out for short vacations, Swan was ready when "Legends in Concert" made its Las Vegas debut in May, 1983.
