For many people, Elvis and Las Vegas just go together. After all, one of his hits, Viva Las Vegas, was an ode to the city.
At the height of his popularity, Elvis Presley once played 837 consecutive shows at a Las Vegas resort. Even after his death in 1977, his influence could be seen everywhere thanks to hundreds of Elvis impersonators.
