Elvis in VegasLas Vegas is where so many of the key moments of Elvis' life took place: from his first appearance there at age twenty-one, to his marriage to Priscilla at the Aladdin Hotel, to the annual "Elvis Festivals" of the 1970s, Vegas was his home away from Graceland. These photographs constitute a fan's chronicle of the original American superstar. Personal, poignant, and atmospheric, they are much more than a gathering of studio or magazine images--in fact, they frankly portray the reality of Elvis in "Sin City." In addition to the photographs published here for the first time, Elvisologist Paul Lichter has compiled setlists, costume descriptions, news clippings, and interviews to fully tell the story of when the King came to Vegas.--From publisher description. |
