My Mom & Dad saw Elvis when they were filming that’s the way It Is... She got a kiss & scarf from the king... When she passed away In 2013, The scarf that Elvis threw to her was buried with her, along with her TCB bracelet loved to wear...
Lucky girl. RIP Mom.
Now that's a story! I bet they hang out on the other side! 💝
How lucky The king & her are with the true King of Kings In Heaven... How great thou are!
@@ms.sonshine8878 She & Elvis are in Heavenly peace with the Kingdom God that will be our enteral home to those believe..
What a story, I bet your Mom told that story for years!
Man...I’d love to go back in time and feel the excitement of seeing Elvis Presley on that stage!
I agree.. thats the way I would have liked to see an elvis show, in that show room
Me too !!
@@ballantine58 Me three!
When the Beatles are in shock when meeting someone you know There Truly Amazing God Bless there Souls
Me too that would be phenomenal
Long live the king
In 1969 I was 20 years old and on my first visit to LA from London. The friend I was staying with knew Barbara McNair who came to dinner. She had recently finished filming change of habit with Elvis. While with us she called Elvis and he invited her out to see his Vegas show. 4 of us went with her. The show was audio-recorded and can be found on CD. Elvis introduced Barbara from the stage during the show. After, we were all invited to his dressing room. He looked amazing, a beautiful man in fact. Mama Cass was also present. Elvis was friendly, charming & engaging. We were there for quite some time, not a brief meet & greet. An amazing event in my life!
Oh wow I envy you so much! Since seeing the ELVIS movie last year I have had my fangirl renewed in all things Elvis. What an amazing person he was and it's so sad the things that transpired towards the end of his life. RIP Elvis and Lisa Marie also.
Wow what a special and precious memories
I was blessed to have seen Elvis in concert 5 times and got close enough to have him grab my hand. ❤❤
Wow!!!
On lucky and blessed to touch him!
Omg I probably would have fainted
“There’s no one cooler than Elvis...”; Alice Cooper.
Elvis was the originator of the word - COOL !!!
There is a misconception that Elvis was not at his best in Las Vegas. The first few years of his residency are legendary for the quality of the shows he put on. He was the main attraction. The King.
His first years in vegas is my favorite era of his work
To me, Elvis could do no wrong in any performance!!❤️
@@DazewithJordantheLion I agree! I rewatch/ listen to That’s the Way It Is over and over. He was peak in voice and showmanship 👌🏼
This was a real treat, Jordan!
I Agree. The first few years of Elvis in Vegas was great. The last several years we're not so great. I think at that point he was over the Vegas routine schitck and wanted something to do. Like touring overseas like his peers.
@@DazewithJordantheLion Same!!! My favorite years. He looked and sounded amazing!
That wasn't just ordinary chills you were feeling Jordan. That was the spirit of Elvis himself my friend.
No it wasn't. He is resting in peace, and lord knows the poor man deserved it.
Elvis in the fringe suit in 1970. he was perfection
Elvis actually revived the Vegas economy, it was in an economic slump before he started performing there regularly.
I used to work there. Several employees were still there from the opening of the hotel in 1969 and several of them had met Elvis and had stories about him. There is a very odd room below the stage that is not in this video but was used by him.
Elvis has left the building
Great to see backstage. Big shout out to the Westgate for letting us see it - I will be a future customer to show my gratitude. Thanks Jordan loved it!
Me too. Never been to Vegas because I don’t gamble and quit drinking years ago. However, I’ll now make the trip just to see that hotel.
Same.
My mum is a huge Elvis fan. When I was a kid in the 70s, she had a double-bed sized poster of him on the wall in her bedroom. My dad just put up with it, I guess. LOL I remember the day Elvis died, my dad woke us up with a cup of tea and told us he'd heard it on the radio. I still remember that clearly all these years later. Thanks for uploading, Jordan! x
I, too, remember the day Elvis died. I was living in Manhattan and shopping with a friend at the time, when we both heard someone say that Elvis had died. Sure enough, it was plastered all over the front pages of all the major newspapers as we passed by the newsstands. RIP Elvis.
Funny, speaking of Barry Manilow in this video. My mom had a poster behind my parents bedroom door. My dad put up with the poster. Now I know other parents did the same thing. While my mom loved Barry's music. I think they found it more funny than serious (the poster, not Barry's music. Even though it was not my dad's music style).
My aunt and her best friend booked an Elvis shows in Vegas in 1973 but her friend had an a family issue at the last minute and couldn't make it, my aunt asked if i wanna to go instead. I wasn't fan of Elvis at the time so I said no, finally she convinced me to go and became fan after the show was over. In hindsight I feel blessed now to have had the opportunity to see him performing in Vegas. Back in those days the stages were in close proximity to the performer, it felt like the audience and performance connected in a personal level which you don't see today, now you need binoculars to see a performer.
What a thrill to walk where Elvis Walked! It broke my heart when he died 😭
My daughter was there 3 yrs ago. She had never seen Elvis, but I had seen him twice. She told me one could still feel Elvis’ presence & she now understood what I meant, you just can’t explain it. It was pure electricity in the place. I pray I can go back just one more time.
What a lucky boy you must be to see all this.❤
I was definitely born at the wrong time. I would have been completely addicted to Elvis.🥰🙈
Thank you so much for your videos.🩵🦋🙏
I actually got married here in 2009. Had no idea of all the history here. Thanks for the great vlog!
standing center stage looking out at the seats gave me chills....great job....elvis forever!!
WOW! Am no AMERICAN but somehow it added to my instant imaginary travel for cool view of ALL ELVIS NOSTALGIA PLACES and ALL THINGS ATTRIBUTED to. He was THE KING . . . the GLOBAL SPARK PLUG of ROCK 'n' ROLL and the FIRST TEENAGE PNP MUSIC IDOL. Great thanks to you Mr. JORDAN and of course for WESTGATE PEOPLE who respects THE KING and his unmatched irreplaceable feat in GLOBAL POP MUSIC on thru this pervading HIGH TECH ERA!!!
Jordan-I got to take a tour of this suite a few years ago by accident-we were just asking about the tour in general, times, costs, etc.--and the lady that gave the tours said, “Just come with me” and we got to take this tour for free-except we gave her a nice tip of course! One thing I remember she told us is that the 4 white “lion head chairs” belonged to Elvis’ and were in his Graceland home originally. Enjoyed seeing this all again-thank you so much for doing this!!!
Elvis was one of a kind and your dedication to the King is always appreciated. The Wayne Newton story was very strange to say the least
In later years Wayne Newton tried to be a comic. It never went over very well.
Watch “ the haunting of “ on the LMN CZcams channel. Wayne Newton goes back to the hotel with a famous psychic medium Kim Rosso and he recounts his experience with Elvis. And while she’s doing the reading Bobby Darren comes through as well.
Elvis is in the Building!! Awesome vlog.. don't care much about colonel tom Parker. Liberace and Barbara Streisand and of course Elvis graced the stage and excitement of being in Vegas at the same time.. it was an experience that made Vegas what it is today. Barry Manilow graces on that tradition. Cool going to see where Elvis played and sang to the crowds and Elvis bar! The King is in the building! Barry's pianos and guided backstage tour to the stage.. Wayne Newton played here and Elvis would be covered in various pieces of women's clothing! Tuscany room is pretty elaborate, Elvis's hangouts while in Vegas baby!! Press releases for the enterouge of crews that happened around when Elvis was in town. The suite is very elaborate with a pool and overlooking the city. Pretty much built for comfort of a small group to entertain.. I think I could live there forever.. Mohammed Ali and Elvis giving the bath robe! The Westgate or the International hotel as it was known in Elvis days.. Thank you for taking us there Jordan 🇯🇴
Wayne Newton told that story of seeing Elvis in balcony it was on a show about seeing spirits he thought Elvis was giving him his blessings
Wow what a privilege to be allowed backstage and invited up to Elvis’s suite, amazing vlog Jordan thank you for taking the time to vlog this and take us with you. It’s certainly something you’ll never forget!
It was a true honor
The hotel wanted Elvis to be the first to perform. Colonel Parker said no, when Barbara performed her show was plagued with technical difficulties, as Parker had suspected would happen. After the first show, the bugs in the system were fixed, it wasn't Parkers first rodeo.
Jordan has left the building! You have truly provided the ultimate Elvis All Access pass to your viewers. Superb!!
Thank you to the Westgate for preserving what they could of Elvis's years there and Thank you Jordan for the wonderful video...Elvis was one of a kind...He will never be forgotten..
How nice of them to let you see so much !! 👍
Wow... what a vlog. It brought back so many memories. We stayed at the old Hilton (International) hotel in 1978 a year after Elvis died. The “Elvis floor” was closed and unoccupied when we stayed there. The hotel still had some pictures and posters up and staff at the time, talked about Elvis crashing Tom Jones concert. It was really interesting seeing the back stage, the penthouse room and the hallway to the stage. Elvis had not been dead a year when we went to Las Vegas and staff wasn’t sure what was going to be put in place in Elvis Memory.
I was honored to see Elvis live six times and received my scarf an a kiss from him 1976 Portland Oregon.He was amazing
Thank you for helping me remember great times.🙋🐦😃
One of your best! Love Elvis!
The statue was originally outside the entrance to the hotel , we visited from the UK . And were lucky enough to be shown around backstage by an employee .I was lucky enough to stand on that very square!! He told us yhe elevator that went upto the 30th floor actually had a secret door that led straight to Elvis suite ... amazing experience.
I have *never* wanted to go to *Vegas* BUT after watching this *video* I would go *JUST* to stay at the *Westgate!*
*So very, very beautiful!* ❤️
Coolest Elvis Vegas vlog. Can’t seem to get enough Elvis vlogs. You could easily get lost in that penthouse. Amazing watching you retrace Elvis’ steps from dressing room to the stage. The whole Elvis vlog is absolutely awesome. Thank you, Jordan. Thank you to the hotel in being very generous in letting you have all that access and filming all of it. God bless you and them
How awesome would it be to stay in the penthouse suite, crazy cool....
What a surprise! For an Elvis fan this is a MUST SEE!!
I snuck in the theater once when the cleaning guy wasn't watching. The vibes were still there. It was incredible standing there just looking at that stage.
Love and miss Elvis Presley
I was in the Elvis suite and you did a fabulous job of capturing it. One of the claims is that the pull down bed in the 1st bedroom you visited was where Lisa Marie slept. It was amazing to be in the suite, could just feel the presence of Elvis...goosebumps style. Loved the presentation of this vlog...just the best. Of course, Elvis had a complete orchestra to back him..."That's The Way It Is" was great in showing how the Elvis shows were done. Thank you, thank you very much.
Just amazing Jordan. I worked as a Real Estate agent at the Las Vegas Country Club during my time living in Las Vegas. You looked at it out the window in your vlog. It's to the rear of the Westgate and to the left as well. It was the Hilton still and changed hands while I lived there to the Westgate. My only claim to fame in that Hotel was one December when I was leaving the Sands Convention Center. I parked in the Hilton parking garage and so had to walk through the halls of the Westgate/Hilton to get to the garage. A long walk! I came to where the halls convened and there was a small crowd and I was looking as walking at the 15 or so people there and bumped right into a woman who also was looking at the crowd. She was speaking and I knew that voice in an instant. I looked and I said "Oh excuse me!" it was Dolly Parton. She was heading to the elevator with her entourage. Whodah thought?! In your vid you didn't mention and couldn't mention everyone who entertained there. But Connie Stevens was a big one in the 70's as well. Thanks again. BTW are these a "Jah Production"? J
Have framed poster from The International Hotel July 31st 1969. (Says 4 weeks only on it)
I was married in The Little Church of the West 7/30 (seen in closing shot of Viva Las Vegas as Lucky & Rusty leave Chapel) Your Bday❣
Ty for Another great Elvis Vlog💕
Jordan...I must say that I enjoyed this video as much as any you've done. It is amazing to catch a glimpse of the behind-the-scene life and experience of Elvis and those that have followed him. True quality that most of us will never experience. Westgate was very generous in giving you (and us) a "back-stage" pass to this amazing place!
What a great video. It's nice to know not everything old in Vegas is gone.
Oh my, I am over the moon on this vlog, what a perfect way to wake up on a new spring day and see how “the king of Las Vegas” rolled. The back stage in front of the stage, floor where he said his prayer... and his room. I have never in my life seen anything as beautiful as that room. When I was young I stayed with my Daddy at the International in a regular high-roller room at the time and it was nothing like this one that is for sure. Thank you so much for calling the Resort and seeing if you could film, The Westgate went out of their way for you allowing us a personal glimpse in providing a vision that none of us could ever imagine. I think next time I go to Vegas I’ll be staying at the Westgate myself. I’ll mention I saw your vlog 🐩 “Thank You Very Much”
I did see him there it was totally awesome it was for my 13 birthday I was right next to the stage at our table.
Thanks for showing some of what was in the files. That's so interesting and the notations on the guest list wow, a story in itself.
The impersonator who stand the same place as Elvis did, just near the stage is Martin Fontaine. He explained it in French in the TVA News where I hear that story 2 years ago.
Wow...I saw Elvis at the International for my 21st birthday!! Thanks for this video! Brings back memories!! Elvis was charismatic! I couldn't believe I was there watching Elvis's show!!
So cool!! Thanks Jordan and the Westgate!!
I still get chills visiting Graceland
You did it again , took us to a place we would Never have seen ! Thank you , Great Job Tour !
It has been over twenty years since I read Peter Guralnick book, (I hope I am recalling this information correctly.) but according to Mr. Guralnick, Elvis decided to have Ms. Streisand anoint the stage, so she could work out the technical difficulties he expected would occur with a new venue.
He also attend her first performances on that stage, so he could listen to the sound quality. He also studied/analyzed her performance, and told the persons who accompanied him that "she wasn't working the stage." "She stayed in one place." "A performer must constantly work the entire stage."
I was watching this and thinking about how far you have come in your time vlogging...Actually stopped this video half way through and went and watched about 4 minutes of vlog #1... You've come a long way in 4 short years bro... Next thing you know you will be calling to make reservations at a hotel and when you tell them who you are you get automatically upgraded to the penthouse suite for free just to have their hotel in your vlog for a few minutes....Amazing!!!
Thank you for sharing. Thank you Westgate for inviting us in.
One of your very best vlogs Jordan! Loved every minute of it. My hubby won tickets in the early 70's for an Elvis show in Vegas and stupidly I told him to give the tickets away because I hate flying. I was thinking as I watched this that I could have been in that theater watching Elvis if I wouldn't have been so young and dumb! Thank you so much for this magical experience.
thanks to the westgate hotel for sharing this with us all in england elvis presley was a special part of las vegas
Uh-MAY-ZING!!! Now that is an inside scoop! To have your own little personal backstage view, tour a Penthouse suite, take us all with you to show where the greats hang out and perform, this is indeed a great treat. Thank you. Thank you very much. (In Elvis speak!)
Outstanding, he was truly the King ❤️🌹
My friend Mark worked on the Roseanne Show and was in Vegas with them. After a days filming Mark and John Goodman were walking around the casino and when they saw the Colonel in the high roller room. They went in and talked with him. He lived at the casino and they wrote off him gambling debts.
Jordon what a wonderful video thank you so much . Wanted to cry when you walked the hallway and elevator, say Elvis on videos walking them .
I’m pretty sure the big chandelier in Elvis’s suite is still the original chandelier.
That suite is very stylish yet still had a retro vibe.
Jordan, your unique filming style makes us believe we are walking by your side. What an amazing Vlog.
Quite magical. Very generous of the Westgate to let us see backstage.
What a great video. My heat was actually pounding when you showed how Elvis went all the way around to the stage. People used to say he’d just appear because everyone was so worked up. The Colonel wanted Barbara Streisand to go first in case there were any kinks with the sound or other problems. Then they’d be worked out before Elvis had to go on. Thank you so much for the tour. It was so respectful and sensitive towards Elvis. It was like he really was visiting with us. 🎸🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻🎤🎤❤️❤️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
Jordan you do a great job with your tours. Especially with the little background information that you insert. Also your filming style is smooth and easy to watch. BZ
Does this bring back wonderful memories. Every time Elvis played at the Hilton (Or the International), I was there. My girlfriend and I would make reservations. take Friday off work and drive to Vegas. We'd go to the midnite show on Friday, then on Saturday we would go to both shows. As soon as the dinner show was over we would go and get back in line for the midnight show, hoping for good seats. Seating depended on how much you would tip the Maitre Di and how he liked you or what kind of mood he was in. You DID NOT want to upset him...When Elvis came on stage the showroom exploded with us all screaming, When he sang Love Me Tender we knew he was going to hand out the scarves and kiss some of the girls. He had the most beautiful smile and eyes. And he had a lot of fun on stage...I still miss him so...
Wow! I'm so envious! I was going to marry Elvis when I grew up. lol. That man was gorgeous! He was always my husband when my neighbor and I played house when we were young. We'd put Elvis records on her small record player. He died when I was 12. I've been to Vegas around a dozen times and Graceland twice. Did you get a scarf? Thanks for sharing.-Carol
@@superpsyched5624 Sorry you never got to see him.. you would have loved him in person. He had a love affair with the audience. God broke the mold when he made Elvis. No, unfortunately I never got a scarf. I am short and everytime I reached for one. someone always taller reached over my head and snatched it.
@@judyfowler3069 Yes, God did break the mold after making him. I'm short too so I understand why getting a scarf never happened. I brought my cousin and sister-in-law in the 90's with me to Vegas. Took them to a Boylesque show. Tipped the maitre d 20 dollars and got front row seats. I'm sure it would have been comparatively a lot more for an Elvis concert.
@@superpsyched5624 I don't remember how much the show was, but I remember the hotel room at the Hilton was $25.00..Think the show was around that also.
Plus we had to tip the maitre di.
@@judyfowler3069 Definitely worth it for sure!
When you stood on stage looking out, I had goose bumps! Wonderful vlog and the ultimate in coolness! Thank you Jordan!
Me too.. it felt surreal
Thanks for this. The way you felt walking in Elvis footsteps at the hotel is how i felt a few weeks ago visiting graceland for the first time aling with sun studio. Im not in awe of many celebrities, but this is elvis!
I am sure Jordan you thanked the hotel staff and or management many times for the excellent access that you were given for this video. Well shot and the information which accompanied your video was excellent! Thank you for sharing your extensive research on Elvis and have a great day!
Ivo
This was incredible! Thank you so much❤
My parents were on their honeymoon in Vegas and saw them filming Diamonds in 1971.
Thank you for this tour! I feel the ghost of Elvis here!
What an amazing look at this historic venue! Very exciting to see the backstage area and the King's dressing room. Cool to see Manilow's pianos, too! Thank you so much the guided tour and your excellent presentation, Jordan.
I would love too stay there
Lovely distraction today, thanks. I go to LV every year and have never done this.
Hi Jordan. You make us feel like we are with Elvis! Basically, getting the chills watching this. Totally amazing. I miss traveling but your vlogs so bring the experience.
Awesome Vlog!!!! (And loved the Michael Jackson song playing as you approached the theater. If only his residency had worked out, he might still be alive today).
This is an excellent video! I am an Elvis Presley Fan, and when Elvis was alive and performing in Vegas, I was a child. I only know about his Vegas performances from the videos and films made of his Vegas performances. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the past as to what it was like when Elvis was performing in Vegas 53 years ago.
I went to the International hotel few years ago I was so excited I wanted to go see the suite Elvis stayed in, the hotel manager told me the suite was not 3 suites so I couldn't see it however he let me go in his dressing room and stand on the stage where he performed ot was a dream come true for me, I was 11 when he passed away didn't have a clue who he was until then, when the TV stations started playing his concerts I found my hero.
Long live the King!
I’m a westgate owner and when I visit Las Vegas, I always stay there. But, I’ve never seen the backstage! What a treat! Thank you!
Thank you for the video...what great insight to how Elvis lived.
I think it's awesome that a man who came from such poor beginnings really made such an impact on the world. How amazing is that?
Damn dude. Thank you for making this tour happen. I was always curious about Elvis’ Famous suite. Amazing! Elvis deserved it. RIP 🙏🏼
My first time visiting Las Vegas (2018) & first hotel i stayed in was there in Westgate, always have a special place in me. Never knew too much about Elvis’s history in there ti’l later on, & wow.
Vids on youtube don't get much cooler than this. Thank you so much.
i had to rewind and watch the penthouse suite and even pause on things just to take in all the details. wow!
Oh WOW!!!! POOR COUNTRY BOY MADE IT BIG!!!!! RAGS TO RICHES STORY. YHANK YOU SO MUCH JORDAN.🥰
What a Elvis tour! Excellent!
Awesome Vlog Jordan! 🦁 on the Old international hotel and Elvis👑 jah💙🐾🐾💙🐾🐾💙
These bathrooms remind me of the Liberace bathrooms and tubs at his Las Vegas home.
My mother said, when she was young "Elvis" was the superstar, she was 5 in 1963.
thank you so much I am a life long Elvis fan and will most likely never get a chance to go to Vegas myself but thanks to you I get to see this....Thank You!
Elvis Presley 👏
Wowzzzzz I enjoyed seeing every minute of this vlog Jordan ❤ Elvis was the king and still is no one will ever replace him 💙🎶🎙
Once again amongst the many vlogs, you hit it out of the park Jordan the Lion. Thank you.
Thank you
Man, I would kill to live through the 70s in Vegas. My girlfriend just got back from Vegas 4 days ago. I told her she should've went to see some Elvis stuff. Hopefully I'll get to go there eventually, and see it for myself.
This experience revisiting moments in the life of the greatest performer that ever lived was phenomenal…thank you!!!
This Suite Is gorgeous!..This could be somebody's permanent living space!♥️😍♥️👑👑👑👑👑
The suite was absolutely breathtaking
Elvis vlogs are my favorite. ♥️
How in the world did I miss this video! What a spectacular tour!! If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have known this even existed!
Thanks for this great video, It really persuaded me to go to Vegas once to see where Elvis made part of the performance history. I always saw old videos from behind the scenes of his concerts, I never thought the place where he performed was so beautiful like that! I think Elvis left some of his energy there for the people. This is wonderful.
