  • We're at the Westgate Resorts hotel here in Las Vegas exploring the secret rooms of the past when Elvis Presley worked and lived here! This is a 2 PART SERIES that will take you backstage of the old las Vegas Hilton and explore where Elvis rehearsed in the movie Elvis: That's The Way It Is, the stage he performed on, secret hallways, Elvis' dressing room, and the basement of the Hilton. I also give you an in depth look of how everything was back in the day when Elvis performed here. MAKE SURE TO WATCH BOTH PART 1 AND PART 2!

    That's the Way It Is is the twelfth studio album by American singer and musician Elvis Presley, released on RCA Records, LSP 4445, in November 1970. It consists of eight studio tracks recorded at RCA Studio B in Nashville, and four live in-concert tracks recorded at The International Hotel in Las Vegas. It accompanied the theatrical release of the documentary film Elvis: That's the Way It Is, although it is not generally considered a soundtrack album. The album peaked at number 21 on the Billboard 200 and at number eight on the country chart. It was certified Gold on June 28, 1973 by the Recording Industry Association of America and up-graded to Platinum, for sales of a million copies on March 8, 2018.

    It was fantastic to see where Elvis performs and where Barry Manilow performs today. It is great that they haven't touched it only took the tables out and made it into a real theatre settings. Loved seeing it from Barry's view.

    Nick, that was absolutely FANtastic. To be able to walk, and be where the legend was must have been so amazing. I loved the old pics interspersed with the present. It's sobering to realize he has been gone longer than he was on this Earth. I'm so happy that you had a dream come true, thanks to your escort. Elvis was an amazing performer. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    I stood outside the doors and looked through the door cracks down into the showroom 17 years ago. They still had the booths and the chandeliers, and then to have a pic outside those doors was the best evening. They were wooden doors too. Sad they've changed them. Still, i saw them before all the changes. Elvis will always be there regardless. Let's face it he must have paid for it to built with all the shows he did. They definitely made their money back from him for sure. And the colonel in the cascino, Elvis paid for that too!!! They should rename it after him!!!

    Nicely done! I have seen a few videos from other Elvis fans/friends highlighting these locations. You covered some other ground, as well, which was awesome. I was lucky to have stood on that stage, too, and wow. What a thrill. I would LOVE to see a video of the walkthrough area Elvis did in his awesome blue suit waving at and passing by employees having lunch or dinner. I assume that area was where you opened the doors and briefly showed the area where Elvis was wearing his brown suit?
    By the way...Did you set up a tour to see the downstairs/dressing room locations?

    Wow, this is amazing. I thought that the entire hotel was long gone. Most hotels have about a ten-year life span in Vegas before they are imploded and something new goes up. Just knowing that place still exists makes me feel great.
