In 1956, Las Vegas wasn’t ready for Elvis Presley. Billed as “The Atomic Singer,” his debut at the New Frontier fell flat with an indifference audience. But when he returned in 1969, he possessed a secret weapon: costume designer Bill Belew.
In this captivating presentation based on the groundbreaking book Elvis: Dressed to Rock, costume historian Karan Feder exposes the thrilling evolution of the King’s iconic stage wardrobe. Utilizing exclusive, unprecedented access to the Graceland archives, Feder reveals fresh discoveries hidden within the institution’s renowned collection.
This incredible presentation will take place in the International Westgate Theater at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. Admission includes this engaging presentation followed by a coveted tour backstage, a view inside Elvis’ Green Room, the spot where he prayed before each concert, leading you to the stage where Karan will personalize your copy of Elvis: Dressed to Rock.
Copies of the book will be available for sale at the event through the author.
