Las Vegas and Elvis – His last Concert (picture)
By vegaschaters. Filed in Information, Las Vegas |
This is said to be a picture of Elvis at his last concert in 26 June 1977 in Indiana.
Elvis had a long History with Las Vegas. Starting in the mid 50’s where He for all popular accounts flopped because his fan base were not old enough to come to Vegas. Not till his good friend Liberace talked him into coming back , going so far as designing his now famous jump suit with cape, did Elvis return in 1968 performing at what was than the International (now the Hilton)
You can still find some old haunts Elvis visited like the The wedding chapel now on the south end of the strip where the wedding scene from Viva Las Vegas was filmed and Piero’s Italian restaurant said to be the only place Elvis ate at outside His penthouse at the Hilton.
