Fortunately, they can see the ghost of Elvis lingering around one very particular Vegas hotel. At least according to his step-brother.
Where The Ghost Of Elvis Allegedly Hangs Out
In a new show at the Westgate Hotel, called "My Brother Elvis: An Evening With David Stanley", Stanley shares intimate stories about the King of Rock and Roll. Stories that even the most devout fan wouldn't be able to know. And the show is in the very place where Stanley says the Ghost of Elvis himself has been seen.
In the show, Stanley reveals many personal details about Elvis. Including what his favorite cocktail was, the fact that he actually couldn't read music, what his pre-show routines were, and more. The show also includes a tour of the International Theater and Elvis' personal dressing room. And for those who have unanswered questions about the King, there's a Q & A session at every show.

Stanley worked very closely with Elvis from 1972 to 1977, helping The King at hundreds of concerts during his last days. The Westgate Hotel used to be the Las Vegas Hilton, where Elvis had his residency in Vegas. Since Stanley was at most, if not all, of his shows, he saw Elvis first-hand during those final years. When it comes to seeing the ghost of Elvis, Stanley says no official sightings have been reported. However, hundreds of fans claim they've seen or felt Elvis in the hotel. And Stanley, himself, reports to have felt Elvis trying to communicate with him around the hotel property.
Stanley's show runs once a month now through December 2024. So if you have a question to ask about The King, or want to see if you can feel the ghost of Elvis Presley yourself, check it out. Tickets for "An Evening With David Stanley" start at $112 and tend to sell out, so get yours early.
