us for this nostalgic tribute show. Hear all the songs of Elvis that you love and remember from the 1950s, '60s and '70s
including "Hound Dog," "Love Me Tender," "Jailhouse Rock," "Fools Rush In," and many more great hits. In this unique
show, three Las Vegas tribute artists portray Presley during the different stages of his legendary career. One plays the
young Presley in the 1950s, who rose from Sun Records to wow (and scandalize) America on “The Ed Sullivan Show” and
become rock music’s first major star; another dons Elvis’ black leather look of the ‘60s when he acted in movies and staged
his infamous 1968 comeback concert; and a third performer portrays the 1970s Elvis, complete with white jumpsuit and
gold jewelry. The afternoon is also graced with a cameo by one of Elvis’ leading ladies, an Ann-Margaret tribute artist, who
performs a song or two with the King. Don’t miss this opportunity to relive those memorable days of great sing-along rock
and roll. You'll also enjoy an all-inclusive three-course luncheon of lemon broiled chicken prior to the show.

The Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Shuffle Off To Buffalo,” “I Only Have Eyes For You” and of course “42nd Street.”
