Elvis In Las Vegas - Location Spotting Around Town
Elvis In Las Vegas - Location Spotting Around Town
By Julia Walker
You looking for Elvis? You ve come to the right place. The main association Las Vegas has for most people is the 1970s jumpsuited King in concert, but he had ties with the city long before he donned a sequinned cape.
Today s Las Vegas remembers Elvis with its many impersonators who can carry out a wedding or renewal of vows ceremony for you at many of the city s wedding chapels. Or why not check out Big Elvis - an impersonator with a free lounge show at the Barbary Coast Hotel.
But if you want a little more real Elvis history, take a look at some of the locations below:
* The Aladdin Hotel. Elvis and Priscilla tied the knot here in May 1967. A new Aladdin now takes its place, but you can still have an Elvis wedding of your own in a suite (just as Elvis did), or in the hotel s chapel.
* The Flamingo Hotel. In Viva Las Vegas, Elvis was a poolboy here. It hasn t changed much since.
* The Little Church of the West. A Las Vegas landmark for over 50 years, this is the chapel where in the 1963 film Viva Las Vegas, Elvis and Ann-Margret married in their very own happy ending.
* The Hartland Mansion. Once home to Elvis, and the venue for weddings and celebrity parties ever since. It can be toured by groups of 50 or more - just call direct to arrange this with the current owner.
* The Las Vegas Hilton is where Elvis used to perform during his Las Vegas heyday - there were 837 consecutive sold-out performances between 1969 and 1977.
* The Golden Steer Steak House was one of his favourite haunts during his Vegas heyday, and was a hangout for the Rat Pack and John Wayne during their visits to the city.
