For the first time in 40 years, Elvis is back in the building

LAS VEGAS, NV - Elvis Presley's Graceland and Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino announced today that they will bring the authentic Elvis Presley back to Las Vegas for the first time in 40 years. "Graceland Presents ELVIS: The Exhibition - The Show - The Experience" will include an expansive, new permanent exhibition featuring hundreds of artifacts never before displayed outside of Graceland, and live entertainment shows that celebrate the life and legacy of Elvis Presley.


Graceland Holdings LLC Managing Partner Joel Weinshanker and Westgate Resorts CEO David Siegel together made the historic announcement that Elvis will be back in the building, and unveiled specific details of the upcoming exhibition and entertainment, which are scheduled to debut April 23, 2015. The press conference took place on the 46th anniversary of Elvis' first press event at the construction site of the same venue, then known as the International Hotel, where Elvis performed over 600 record-breaking, sold-out shows.

The first-ever permanent Graceland exhibition outside of Memphis will encompass over 28,000 square feet and include hundreds of artifacts from the Presley family's treasured Graceland Archives, showcasing the man, the performer and the music that revolutionized popular culture around the world. Visitors will experience an unprecedented journey through Elvis' life and career, beginning with his early days in Tupelo, Miss., through his first recording session in Memphis, rise to fame, Hollywood career, life at Graceland, the Las Vegas years and more. Graceland-produced videos will immerse guests in the experience, concluding with a 26-minute retrospective film featuring Elvis' greatest performances.

Some of the rare artifacts include Elvis' high school yearbooks, his first Gold Album, his 1957 Harley Davidson motorcycle, a 1962 Lincoln Continental, 1971 Stutz Blackhawk, jewelry and iconic stage wear from Elvis' live performances, including the first outfit worn on stage for his first concert at the International Hotel in 1969. Select artifacts will be rotated regularly with artifacts in the Graceland Archives, to keep the exhibit constantly evolving and fresh. The exhibition will be open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

I blogged about The King (Elvis) and I ( No Pun Intended) jammin at Baan Rim Paa in Phuket at

Patong Beach , The beach with a Name but no Chairs !

Humming the Horse with No Name tune by America while you read my rap but I dislike Rap ,

so lets call it a Rant & Roll .....it helps :

You see I been to the Beach with no Beach Chairs , It felt bad to to sit in the hot sand ,

but the police at the scene , seemed to act very mean,

but from police that's expected and sometimes detected , not right if ur not protected ,

if you burn ur butt and it gets infected

and that can happen when you been to a beach with No-Chairs , La La la di de Da ,didi La La la di Da !!!!!!!!!!

In the early 90's , he played harmonica and Tommy Doyle was on piano , he is sorely missed in Thailand !
