In just a few days, Cirque du Soleil will reveal the storyboard for their new Elvis show opening in December 2009 although developers have already broken ground on the showroom.
The multi-million dollar production is rumoured to include scenes from his movies and Elvis memorabilia – fingers crossed for some Elvis music too then!
Meanwhile, to coincide with Cirque du Soleil's Beatle themed production Love, the company has opened the Revolution Lounge to extend the theme beyond the show. Could this be a taste of what we could expect for the future Elvis themes for Las Vegas.
Fancy meeting for a drink at Café Europa?
Sadly, across the other side of the Strip, the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino has now been unveiled at the former site of the Aladdin Hotel, so the historical name as well as the original resort will now disappear from Las Vegas.

Rather than Cirque du Soleil or Duets of Elvis with Dion and others, we'd like to know more about Bob Sillerman's plans of opening up the new Elvis Store at University Dr in LVegas and plans of 2007/08 FTD releases. Could EPE's Director of marketing also please share news re. replacing or upgrading (further extending) the CDs In Person (adding from Gold Collectors Vegas69) and On Stage (adding from Gold Coll Vegas 1970) as well as Elvis from Memphis (adding Elvis back in M'phis) and thus eliminate the old CD versions that carry only 18 or 20 songs....and selling the new versions at a formidable profit again and again. Since Sony owns the rights on those, they won't need to pay extra royalties...Only Taking Care of B and Fans... when can we expect FTD releases of GuitarMan, PromLand and BurningL sessions & outtakes, movie outtakes of GGGirls, complete sessions & outtakes of King Creole, BH and GIB ? We'd dig that news before August in M'phis, man !

It is way overdue for an Elvis-themed hotel and casino. Elvis did a lot for Las Vegas.
