LAS VEGAS, Aug. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino welcomed fans, media, and Elvis enthusiasts from around the world on Thursday, July 31, for an unforgettable celebration of Elvis Presley's Las Vegas legacy.

"There's something truly magical about performing in the International Theater—with the energy of the crowd, the legacy of the room, and the love everyone has for Elvis. I'll never forget the electricity in the air that night—it was like The King came home again."
