Elvis Presley performed in Las Vegas for the last time in 1976, the conclusion of his run of comeback shows at what was then known as the Las Vegas Hilton. His legacy, however, endures in a new Graceland-organized exhibi- tion at the hotel, now called the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, that puts a trove of Elvis memorabilia on display in Vegas for the first time, along with a live tribute show and even a wedding chapel. And who better than Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley to introduce it all? The two women kicked off their day in Vegas with a blue- suede ribbon-cutting ceremony, giving guests access to hundreds of artifacts, from Elvis's high school yearbooks and graduation tassel to his 1962 Lincoln Continental. The celebration continued as Priscilla served as the matron of honor in the wedding of Kaycee Satava and Cameron Baker, the first to be held in the chapel, and later posed for photos on the red carpet during an exclusive gala reception. As the evening drew to a close, Priscilla and Lisa Marie, along with Lisa Marie's husband, Michael Lockwood, and son, Benjamin Keough, t o o k their seats for the first performance of Elvis Experience, a lim i t ed-run production starring actor Martin Fontaine as the rock 'n' roll god in the early '70s.
