On April 23 rd Elvis Presley’s Graceland celebrated its grand opening of its new, permanent exhibition, theater showroom and wedding chapel outside of Graceland at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino.
On the 59th anniversary of Elvis’ very first performance in Las Vegas in 1956.

Graceland Presents ELVIS includes an expansive, new permanent exhibition featuring hundreds of artifacts never-before-displayed outside of Graceland, live entertainment shows in the new Elvis Presley Theater, and the new Elvis Presley’s Graceland Wedding Chapel. 


The exhibition encompasses over 28,000 square feet and includes hundreds of artifacts from the Presley family’s treasured Graceland Archives, showcasing the man, the performer and the music that revolutionized popular culture around the world. Visitors will experience an unprecedented journey through Elvis’ life and career, beginning with his early days in Tupelo, Miss., through his first recording session in Memphis, rise to fame, Hollywood career, life at Graceland, the Las Vegas years and more. Graceland-produced videos will immerse guests in the experience, concluding with a 26-minute retrospective film featuring Elvis’ greatest performances.
The newly renamed and renovated Elvis Presley Theater presents Elvis-themed live shows for limited engagement runs on the very stage where Elvis performed for millions of guests during his record-breaking, seven-year stint from 1969 through 1976.
