I have a story about Elvis and that showroom. The year 1972, I went to Las Vegas for my 21th birthday. I was roaming The casino "Hilton" at the time. Of course out front was a hugh sign with ELVIS written on it, however, the show was sold out, and to be honest I was on such a tight budget I didn't have the money even if there were tickets. I was wandering the casino and saw the long line of people enter into the showroom. In front of large doors a heavy duty curtain was pushed back and the people entered. Later, a couple guys with their dates dressed to impress and a look of very V.I.P. were walking to the entrance and the curtain was thrown open, large double doors opened........... Bam the music, and the voice of Elvis could be heard. All life in the casino stood still as "The King"could be heard. As the VIP's entered and the doors, and heavy curtain was closed, and all sound stopped as quickly as it had started. Maybe a total of only 15 seconds of the show could be heard, but I can forever say " I heard Elvis perform live once in my lifetime.

Back in the 70’s my fiancé’s aunt owned a restaurant on the strip..she got tickets to see Elvis , my fiancé and his parents went to see Elvis at the International. He didn’t realize then how lucky he was to see him..but he does now..Iconic performer.

I loved this....I know you want to discuss all Vegas aspects but I would a fan forever if you only covered Elvis!!!!!! The movie has gotten me started. I was living in town in 1972-1980-ish when Elvis was here. I did not have the culture or the wisdom to appreciate him then. I have my stories but knew some of the orchestra players.

Im am so in love with Elvis I'm using my husband's you tube to comment my name is Jennifer. I have had my own experience with Elvis ghost. I was saying the entire time I was at Graceland that I was going to pick some grass from the front yard because I know he walked ran or laid on the front lawn. Anyway when i was walking up the walk way a feather fell right in the grass in front of me and I bent down to pick it up and was able to pick some grass without bing caught. I know Elvis let me do it I felt like giggling I looked up to the bedroom window and said thanks Elvis.

Elvis wanted to let his fans know he was there with the beeping of the camera. He could have drained the first battery so he could make the camera beep. Notice the footage kept trying to focus while it was beeping like something was moving in front of it. Elvis was a jokester. He was probably laughin at you.

After when I seen this Video and others who are talking about encountering the Ghost of ELVIS Presley I Question is "IS ELVIS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE TO PEOPLE AND WHY" ? I Also Question is ELVIS is Locking the door from the inside of his former room I Question Why ? If ELVIS Managed away to Toss this Heavy Chair in the Pool Again I Question WHY ? And My Final Question is Is it possible to find away to get these answers and is there away possible for ELVIS To Answer These Questions ?

Elvis only performed for about an hour each show though. Not two hours straight like most artists today. So at least elvis got a break after an hour.
