Las Vegas expo

[PatrickVaals]

Elvis is back in Vegas The Imperial Palace in Las Vegas has joined forces with The King's Ransom Museum to present the ultimate Elvis exhibition. This multi-million dollar collection will showcase a rare and unique glimpse into the life and career of the greatest entertainer the world has ever known. Genuine artifacts and priceless personal treasures of Elvis will be on display for the first time ever, in the very city where he set up court and ruled as the King Of las Vegas from 1969 to 1976. The passion and frenzy that filled Las vegas when Elvis was in town has never been replicated since. Now, more than 30 years later, the spirit of Elvis' memory will live on, as it comes back to Vegas. People who will travel with Graceland Tours during the 'Elvis 75' trip will have the chance to visit this expo!

Elvis at the Imperial Palace From the website www.vegasdeluxe.com: During a night rife with oddities, selecting the weirdest moment was a challenge. But it had to be at The King’s Ransom exhibit at Imperial Palace, a new-to-Vegas display of Elvis Presley memorabilia, ranging from the mod, blue jacket he wore in “Spinout’ to the mod, blue bottle of Mylanta plucked from one of his medication-laden medicine cabinets. I cut a corner to take a look at one of the more fascinating displays, a collection of framed photos of Elvis meeting President Nixon in December 1970.



You get lost in these photos as you observe a clearly confused, glazed-over, glassy-eyed, acutely paranoid hostage of his own success.



But Elvis, conversely, looks relatively OK.



As any Elvis fan (or Nixon fan, for that matter) knows, Elvis requested the legendary visit so he could gain status as a federal agent at-large for the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Buffeted by fistfuls of prescription pills each day, Presley actually sought Nixon’s support in his fight against drug abuse (see the National Archives account here.) A series of photos chronicles the famous session that took place in Nixon’s Oval Office, and as I peered through the glass, the person next to me said, “Pretty ironic, huh?”



“Oh yeah,” I said, turning to the person making the comment, who happened to be … Linda Thompson. She’s Elvis’ beauty queen ex-girlfriend (and also ex-wife of Bruce Jenner and David Foster and mother of Brody Jenner), still gorgeous, and she was on hand for the VIP/media opening of the attraction. The display space is set just about next to the Imperial Theater, and you could even faintly hear the boys from Human Nature singing “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” and other Motown favorites during last night’s tour. Bumping into a Memphis Mafia member or former confidant of the King was not too uncommon during this event. Also adding some vintage Elvis-dom to the exhibit space were Memphis Mafia insiders and longtime Presley friends Joe Esposito, Sonny West and Jimmy Velvet. Even Pete “Big Elvis” Vallee turned out, as did Rhonda Williams, who until this year owned a cross Elvis presented to her at the stage during a show in 1974.

Eye catcher at Elvis/Vegas exhibition One of the eye catchers at the King's Randsom Museum in Las Vegas (Imperial Palace) is this beautiful cross, given by Elvis to a teenage girl by the name of Rhonda, in 1974. Rhonda - now a grown up woman - sold the necklace several years ago to the owners of the Museum, and saw a chance to visit the Vegas Exhibition on Opening Day, this week. The full and true story behind the cross and this exceptional gift, will be published in one of the upcoming ElvisMatters Magazine, including very rare pictures!
