Ah Vegas, such a great place to visit. There’s the tawdry shows, gambling, etc. However, when in Vegas with a family and/or a group of mixed ages, it is really nice to have somewhere to go that EVERYONE can fully enjoy. «Elvis: The Exhibition» ISTHATPLACE!!! On my last visit to Vegas, I was with a friend in her 50s and my niece in her tweens(I’m in my 30s). We decided to check out the museum at the Westgate Hotel since we had read an article about it. Elvis used to stay at the hotel and perform there — way back when it was the Las Vegas Hilton. In fact, from 1969 – 1976 he broke all sorts of attendance records there with his sold-out performances. You can read more about it on Wikipedia at . What better venue then for an Elvis museum(outside of Graceland)!!! The museum did not disappoint. It was great. The music and movies playing in each section really got us in a great mood. Looking at the memorabilia, pictures, costumes, vehicles, etc. was awesome. It brought my friend down memory lane. For me, it reminded me of all the things I had seen on TV even after Elvis was already long gone(he died just a few months after I was born). For my niece, it gave her a reference to a man she has heard about, but never really had much direct experience with. By the end of our time at the museum, she was a fan as well!!! The main movie that is shown about Elvis is well worth watching from beginning-to-end, so my advice would be to find out when it starts, and time your trip at the museum accordingly. The movie part is at the end of the museum, right before you get to the gift shop. So if you get there and the movie will start soon, I recommend going to see the movie first, and then back-tracking to see the rest of the museum. Or even better, if you can time it right, you can stroll through the museum in about 40 – 60 minutes(depending on your love of all things Elvis), and get to the movie when it starts. I think the museum will make a fan out of anyone! Actually, I think that the museum, along with other aspects of the Westgate such as its placement on the monorail, restaurants such as Benihana, sportsbook, new renovations all over including the pool area, and unbeatable prices — make it a fabulous just off the craziness of the strip place to stay! I think I understand why Elvis lived there in the penthouse for so long! It’s nice to have him back in the building!!!

I thought the exhibit was very good and well worth the money. The film was a bit of a let down. It was just a bunch of concert clips with no historical perspective. I would of preferred a short doc or some narration or graphics connecting the clips.

If I could give this show 10 stars, I would. I can’t begin to explain the meticulousness to detail that has been put forth to every single aspect of the performance, from the costumes to the musical instruments to every move, facial expression, and gesture on the part of every single performer in this show! There was not one instance of overblown mimicry; the show was not a «tribute» to Elvis. It really WAS Elvis: the feel, the atmosphere, the excitement. I actually got goosebumps! If you’re an Elvis fan(or just wonder why he was so legendary, if you’re too young to remember), you just HAVE to see this show; it’s breathtaking!

They should tell you the show times before hand, made it through the exhibit and missed the movie start by a couple minutes and they wouldn’t let us in. Only a couple items worth seeing, hardly worth the 25 entrance fee. Save your time and money.

Went to the show last night(opening night 4÷23÷2015). The Elvis was kind of disappointing ~ his jokes weren’t really that funny & I didn’t think he was the best«Elvis» that I have seen in Vegas ~ musically & in looks(want to see a REALLY good one go see Brandon Bennett ~ an Elvis Tribute). People watching was VERY entertaining… I don’t think I have ever seen so many Elvis’s in one place & I even saw a «Paul McCartney.» Priscilla & Lisa Marie were the real deal ~ Beautiful ladies!
