Graceland brings Elvis back to his Las Vegas home
LAS VEGAS (AP) – What would Elvis want? To be back in Las Vegas, no doubt, says the man whose company owns the King’s image and music and operates his Graceland home in Tennessee.
And that’s exactly where he’s headed.
Joel Weinshanker of Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc. and officials with the Westgate Las Vegas shared details Thursday for a permanent exhibit and performances expected to fill the casino-hotel starting April 23. Plans include a revamped Elvis Presley sanctioned wedding chapel, too.
There will be a showroom for re-creations of Elvis performances on the very stage where he performed several hundred sold-out shows when the casino-hotel was The International and the Las Vegas Hilton.
Tickets go on sale Thursday. The exhibit is expected to cost $22 and tickets for performances start at $49.
