Elvis Presley's residency at the International Hotel (now Westgate)

Elvis Presley began a long-running Las Vegas residency at the International Hotel in 1969 and performed frequent, high-profile engagements there through the 1970s. The hotel's showroom appearances helped solidify Elvis's association with Las Vegas entertainment and drew national attention. The International Hotel later became the Las Vegas Hilton and is now the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, which commemorates Presley history in its archives and promotions.
