In this video The Spa Guy shows you where Elvis Left the Netherland's Hotel and Cincinnati Ohio and Walked down the street to the Stouffer's Hotel.. It has always been said he left because of the Air conditioner not working..

[@chuckmadden2251]

Someone went home and said... I saw Elvis walking downtown in a track suit. And their husband or wife replying... sure honey, sure :-) Another great one Billy!

[@legocommanderfox55]

I so love seeing you show the locations where Elvis traveled and the recreated photos,Spa. Guy. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. Keep up the great work! ❤️

[@davidharrison3399]

In the footsteps of one of the greatest entertainers ever to grace this planet, great bit of information Billy.

I can’t imagine being on the street or in a car and seeing Elvis walk down the road.

I don't know why people think they have to tear down these historic structures when it seems to me like they could just refurbish the interior some and keep the historical significance alive

Great video i live in Ohio i was 11 when Elvis passed would of loved to see him perform live.

[@jefferyforeman2514]

Me too

[@jerryrice8860]

My wife saw Elvis perform in November 1956. She was 13; he was 21. Sat a few rows from the stage at Louisville's old Armory. A "forever" memory.

Great investigative reporting video. Why would anyone want to upset Elvis is beyond me. Thanks for sharing Billy.

[@jamesblanton9785]

Thanks Billy and Trey for visiting my hometown, the Queen City of the Midwest, Cincinnati by God Ohio! I stayed at the Hilton Netherlands Hotel the evening prior to my induction into the U.S. Air Force in March 1975. I'm happy to hear the folks there were hospitable and treated you well. On a historical note the Cincinnati Hilton was originally constructed in 1937 and is currently the oldest hotel in the Hilton chain. As a lifetime Elvis fan I appreciate your dedication and the service you provide. Please keep up the good work.

[@rosehoary8906]

I was just thinking in a few more years some of the places that Elvis was once there may no longer exist! it adds to the value of what you do Because for a long time these videos are the only place that kept the memory of those days alive so just to record in history I say this is unique guys .

[@kevinhodge1221]

I was living in Lorain Ohio. Big fan and had written Elvis letter to come visit. I wrote I heard he was heavy but not to worry. Not long later I heard on the news he died. I always thought Elvis was invincible. I was 15 at this time. I’ve been a fan of his for years.

[@annreeves1983]

Always the best about our man, Elvis! Thanks, Spa Guy, and Trey! Awesome info! Be careful, and thank you! 🕺

[@allenmorris2661]

Sad to see all the places he attended, and arrived at being demolished. Lots of places the KING touched now gone. UGHH!!!! Great video

[@RetroCaptain]

Would have been one of his last outings. A man I was friends with a long time ago, bumped into Elvis, sans entourage. They just said hello to each other. He (my friend) passed away since. It may have been late 1976, I really think it was early 1977.

[@martin77722]

thanks for sharing this story with us hear in england it must have been a honour to have met him

[@RetroCaptain]

@@martin77722 He Elvis was actually secreted in by his team, to a locally well regarded facility in my country (a city iirc founded by Scottish immigrants) where he could detox for a week or two. My friend was sent there to work on the buildings plumbing, and saw Mr Presley in (plain) pjs walking around, instantly recognisable, and quietly said "Hello, Elvis" I don't think anything else. I said you should have sat down and chatted and got his autograph!! "No one was to know he was there, it wasn't in the news, I wasn't supposed to know, so I pretended I didn't figure it out" Just quietly nodded and said hello to him and he smiled back and returned the greeting. I was still on the younger side.. (he told me) "Elvis had to been taking Pep Pills frequently to be able to dance around under the hot lighting in those big costumes night after night.. & it took a toll on his health and he needed a break and get the junk out of his system" I'm sure that hospital has seen a few dozen very famous people since, & yet. They have one of the best Alcohol Treatment programs in the country. Seeing how he passed, & only months after leaving that facility, it's clear to me now, He should have been there a few months not 2 weeks.. the detox treatment would have barely got underway... He might be with us today had the entertainment industry got out of the way & let him recover fully.

[@hollysuchey6037]

You guys are SO awesome! Thank you for all of your amazing videos. BOTH of you!

Awesome job of bringing us back to that day.

[@kn-qz7by]

The Spa Guy’s video’s documenting Elvis’s life ON-SCENE WHERE IT HAPPENED are unbelievably fantastic!

[@kn-qz7by]

Someone said that the Colonel used to book the touring party into hotels whose owners he knew, regardless of the fact that some of them were definitely not top-notch places to stay on the road.

[@TheA1carpetman]

Thanks for your time on this cheers Greg from Australia

[@retrowb3982]

Hey Billy, Rowland here. If you ever come to Connecticut to see where Elvis played in New Haven, the old coliseum is gone now and just a parking lot now. Not sure if he stayed at any hotels in 75 & 76. He did play in Hartford once as well. I knew they lady that food catered his '76 shows in New Haven. I have more to that story. If interested lmk! The New Haven Coliseum was not far from Yale University. Thx brother! Great videos!!

[@user-xe5cz3dw8m]

This would have been before The Westin was built across from Cincinnati Fountain Square. The Westin is now on the opposite side of the corner of the street Elvis crossed, behind him. The Omni Netherland is a very elegant Art Deco Hotel in downtown Cincinnati which is why they probably had Elvis stay there. And in 1977 he played Riverfront Collesium, which is about 4 or 5 blocks from the hotel. I can tell you right now why he would have hated it to his core; aside from the 1920s ambiance and Art Deco style, which I can't see Elvis being comfortable in, it is adjacent to what was known then as Pogue's Arcade. Pogue's was a Cincinnati local department store. The "arcade" joined the Pogue Department store with the Omni Netherland building. It was filled with gift shops and diner/deli restaurants. It was that long labyrinth of hallways you went down and around from the service elevator to get to the parking garage. Elvis was used to going through the back kitchens to service elevators and straight to the garage without being caught in a crowd. Gosh, Elvis staying at Stouffer's is like staying at a Ramada Inn! Too funny. No wonder he was so angry.

[@johnkaufman5474]

Billy, as I've said before, you and Trey do the most reliable, inclusive, insightful research on Elvis and pop culture history. I truly appreciate your efforts.

Thank You John!!

[@SheenaRea]

I'd been to Cincinnati Gardens for a few concerts. It was an incredibly cool funky place. Narrow hallways and stairways, dated bathrooms, light green colored walls. Hockey team Cincinnati Stingers played there. What a shame to tear down this gem. I guess it had what they'd now call "safety violations" (?). Love your video and seeing the Elvis history! Thanks so much!

[@RonPetersen-x8s]

I was working at the Netherland Hilton as F.O.M. When this happened. I was on the phone when the director of sales came into my office all excited while I was on the phone. He said he just saw Elvis walk through the lobby with a woman on each arm and he left. Later found out he went to Stopher’s. My boss and I went to his room and it was hot [old fashion heating and cooling). The only thing left was a prescription receipt. He checked in at Stophers. His entorouge took up a whole lower floor. The elevator was rigged so you could’nt get on the floor without using the stairway.

Good work, Spa Guy! So sad that so-called “urban renewal” has ruined so many cities like mine here in NY. They tore down all of the history and wasted billions trying to bring jobs. And most ended up like that lot... empty and deteriorating cities.

[@afs4431]

The Gardens wasn’t downtown it was out in Norwood,Ohio. It was replaced by the Coliseum which is downtown. 50 years ago downtown Cincinnati was dead, today it’s vibrant and growing, much like Nashville.

[@mandycote5662]

Man doesn’t know how to be good stewards

[@tcb1017]

This is how life and anything in it's own way goes. Now, Elvis is gone and that building and many building that he has performed in. Now, he is his box in craceland not even a body with flesh but only the bones or skeleton left. But, while he was alive he was who he was and he had a life just like any living human being but he made those movies and performed his concerts so with that ok, he left something behind that most people who die don't do. Even now, in Ukraine and Israel and Gaza wow, People dying everyday and they haven't left anything behind, maybe just a few memories that the family members who still live will have. So this life, what is it really all about ? Many say, life has no meaning but if it has, it goes only 3 generations and that's it 😢 But, while you live ok, so for those who has a some kind of good life in it's own way ok, blessings to them all ❤😂

Thanks Billy....and also Trey. These are great. I know you did a couple of these in Ohio. If you come back to this state, you should come here to Cleveland where Elvis performed at Cleveland Public Hall on Novemebr 6, 1971. 2 shows...an afternoon and night show. The black and the white pinwheel jumpsuits were worn. The Reagan/Carter debate also took place there in 1980.

[@dreamarichards4972]

Interesting! Thanks! I guess I won't know your private stories of Elvis. 😢 He was coming to Huntington, WV in September 1977. People still have their tickets. It was a new big place called The Huntington Civic Center. Elvis was going to be the first. And supposedly a statue was going to be erected of him. But never happened. The Civic Center is still there, it used to headline top artists etc. I went to 2 big concerts there in the 80s and 90s. And once an all night Gospel Sing. Many well known Gospel groups. Elvis also was going to be here at a wedding but he got sick. I forgot what year that was. It was at a church on Adams Ave. Huntington, WV. The Gardners had the church back then. Landy Gardners parents.

Spa Guy, hope all is going well for you and Tray. I just wanted to say I hate them stupid mufflers too, man they can make you jump when you are not aware.

Hey Shug! I hope y'all had a good time at the Netherlands Plaza Hotel... Not only is it loaded with history, would you believe it only took six months to be built and opened? It's one of the few Art Deco MASTERPIECE buildings left in Ohio. I hope y'all got to see the cool ballrooms and the incredible dining room/bar. Oh... I hope you guys went up to the observation deck (theeee top!) The staff at the hotel are great folks... Even if you're just in there to look at the place. Also in downtown Cincy are the old Herzog Studio, where Hank recorded several of his earliest hits... And the remnants of the old King Records studio, where MANY of the great early Country and Rockabilly records were cut... Several of the Sun Records guys even cut there. Hope all is well with you! Cheers

[@jerryrice8860]

Back in the 1950s-'60s, Cincy' s King Records Studio was THE go-to recording studio for artists throughout the tristate area. Boyd Bennett, Pee Wee King and loads of local bands cut some impressive sides there.

[@jerryrice8860]

First stayed at the Art-Deco masterpiece Netherland Plaza in 1960, and have returned to this architectural gem many times since. The gorgeous lower-level pool and spa are like a trip back in time. Hathaway's Snack Bar in the street-level concourse is throwback 1940s.

I hate Basketball and it’s dope fiend players, but I love your interest in Elvis Historical Events and Travels. That’s why I subscribe. Honestly, to attend a Kansas City Chiefs game is $80+ just for parking alone. I will never pay that, and I won’t ever attend a Chiefs game, but I would gladly have paid it to have seen Elvis. He actually gave you a good feeling to be in his presence, but no Basketball team or any of its players do anything for us.
