Rock & Roll with Live Dealer Casino
Las Vegas has been instrumental in putting stars on the map. Indeed Sin City has largely showcased more stellar attractions and superstars than most any other city in the world. And it is largely thanks to the magnetic appeal of Las Vegas – replete with bright lights and electrifying action. One of the most-loved patrons of Las Vegas was Elvis Presley. The King of Rock & Roll wasn’t only one of the biggest fans of Las Vegas; he was also one of its greatest proponents. From the year 1964 – with Elvis’ Viva Las Vegas, Elvis and Sin City were essentially joined at the hip. For fans of Elvis Presley, Graceland may be the number one happy hunting ground for all things Elvis, but it’s Las Vegas that still draws tremendous attention from his faithful flock. It is estimated that several thousand people search for Elvis Presley attraction in Las Vegas – each and every month. The curious thing is that that’s the same number of people searching for Elvis Presley data in his Tennessee homeland – Graceland.The Spirit of Elvis Presley is Alive & Well in Las Vegas
However the years have seen a dramatic phasing out of Elvis Presley memorabilia and attractions from Las Vegas. Make no error – the spirit of Elvis is alive and kicking in Las Vegas, but there are a greatly reduced number of attractions in his honor. For example, wedding parties will be able to have Elvis Presley lookalikes officiating at their ceremonies, or be able to enjoy Elvis Presley drive-thru weddings etcetera. There’s always plenty of room for Blue Suede Shoes, Heartbreak Hotel and Jailhouse Rock when Elvis impersonators watch on as couples pronounce Love me Tender vows to one another. In the days of old, the Elvis-A-Rama (owned by C. Davidson) was the hub of all things Elvis. There was an 85-foot mural and scores of Elvis memorabilia too. Patrons to the Elvis shrine would have seen the King of Rock’s Cadillac and even his Blue Suede Shoes. In 2006, EPE took charge of the assets of the museum and that was the end of the Elvis-A-Rama in Las Vegas.
La Bamba to Las Vegas!
Ritchie Valens is yet another superstar of yesteryear who needs no introduction. This wildly popular rocker can be seen (by his doppelganger) in John Mueller’s Winter Dance Party. This 2-hour long extravaganza is a fitting tribute to the genius of the ill-fated rockers on board a doomed aircraft. It is Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and Big Bopper in full flight. This is the only show currently being showcased which operates with the full approval of the estates of the said performers. The electrifying action tears through the audience and delivers a powerful performance to all fans of Vegas Rock & Roll entertainment. This is the 50s like never before – songs include Chantilly Lace, La Bamba, Rave On, Oh Boy, That’ll be the day and Peggy Sue. The Winter Dance Party has won critical acclaim throughout the USA – along the same lines of the Buddy Holly Story. A stellar cast does justice to genius of these erstwhile heroes.
