The legacy of Elvis Presley looms large over the city of Las Vegas. At any given time, perhaps more than a dozen Elvis impersonators are either performing weddings or busking on the Strip. His music appears in shows all over town to this day. Tribute shows continue to pop up (most recently at Westgate, the property where he cemented his Vegas legend when it was the International). And this week, Priscilla Presley, a huge part of his life, comes to the same property for a one-afternoon-only special event.
There’s far too much detail for Presley to possibly squeeze into one afternoon’s entertainment, but it’s very possible you’ll hear about:
• Her role as a steward of Elvis’ legacy, including her work to develop Graceland as a public attraction.
• Her television career, including her role as Jenna Wade on the hit series Dallas from 1983-1988.
• Her experience as a movie star, including the hilarious Naked Gun trilogy from 1988-1994.
• Her work as an entrepreneur, including launching her own perfume fragrance, Moments, in 1988, and several others after that in the 1990s, as well as launching her own line of bed linens in 2006.
But one thing you’ll definitely hear: The voice of a woman who has lived a very full life, one that will command your attention from beginning to end.
