No stage was to big for E.... he owned everyone he walked out on...
Thank you so much Trey for visiting Westgate I'm glad you told us that was not the original stage. I always thought it was. That's right. Elvis is the greatest of all time!
Thank you Trey and Spa Guy for bringing to life one of Elvis's most important and historical phases in his life and career.
Thanks for watching Tim, it is fun to stand in these locations knowing the history
@@GlobetrottingWithTrey it sure is for us to follow too Trey.
Wow. Thank you for this. IMHO, nothing can touch the late 1950's Elvis. Every black and white picture is iconic. The Vegas time Elvis is already so professional and a master of the stage.
It is wonderful that you as young as you are, are following him around. Thank you for all you are doing. It is really special and YES…. He was the greatest of all time and I bet no other person ever got as many kisses as Elvis. He was a wonderful person as well. His humanitarian side is not displayed enough. Maybe you can search sometime his endeavors. God Bless you dear man! Be safe in your endeavors. We need you and appreciate you and enjoy the journey with you and your heart and love that shines through!❤
I sat in that showroom 4 times to see Elvis in 1971, 1972, 1973 and 1976, the last time he played Vegas. When our family arrived in Vegas, my dad always stopped at the showroom ticket window in the morning to make sure our reservations were secure. There was always a line running throughout the casino for people going to see Elvis. Your seats were not "assigned" until they started seating people, so naturally many folks got in line early. The more $$ you gave the seating guy, the better your seats. Our family was always near the back. LOL! The showroom has changed so much from my Elvis days. Good memories.
Thanks for sharing.. What is your fav memory that stands out?
@@GlobetrottingWithTrey I don't remember a lot about the actual shows the first three times I saw him because I was 10 and 11. But I was excited to get to see him and I loved seeing all of the shiny, metallic banners all over the Hilton. The last time in 1976, I remember three things about the show that stood out. In no particular order: He sang Blue Christmas (and you know that wasn't in the set list every day!), When he sang Hurt, the floor vibrated when he hit that big note! Chills. And, he sang Softly As I Leave You, a song I'd never heard before. I kid you not, I was bawling my eyes out when he did that song. One day, I think in 1978, I came home from school, and a 45 single of that song was sitting on my bed.
My sister said one of her stand out memories is sitting in the balcony and when the 2001 intro music started, she could see Elvis standing in the wings before he hit the stage.
We are so grateful to have seen him. Those were exciting times and some of greatest memories of my childhood and life.
Ppl had to bribe the seating guy!?,, Geez.
Bet he made out pretty good tho Lol
@@Sunnygal75 I heard my dad say he saw a guy give the seating guy $100...and that was back in the 70s. Wonder where he ended up sitting. Not only that, he still had to pay for dinner. 😂
@@elvisfan61 🤦♀️Lol! Yeah,,bet he had a good seat!
Wonder if there's an old menu out there somewhere from that night how cool would that be to see!
I saw Elvis in 1970, in Vegas. The planes back then from LAX to Vegas were very small. I flew in from LA and met my sister and her husband. We sat in the very back of the showroom. I don't remember that people were acting crazy about seeing Elvis. I think we were all amazed that we were there with Elvis. He was very charismatic; and I will very forget his presents!! I saw him one other time at the Long Beach Area. He still drew in a big crowd but was somewhat overweight.
I went to Graceland; and I'm still a great fan!!🥰
Thank you for your videos! Safe travels!!❤️
Thank you to support Him keep His legacy alive forever Elvis Presley 2022
Wish I had got to Vegas when Elvis was alive and see him perform but so glad we have TTWII to look back on - thanks for sharing 💙💙
I could watch you walk around there forever! Loved that's the way it is. Loved how you drank from the silver fountain 😂 I'm in awe! 👍😎⚡
Hi billy and trey this cool look back at history elvis in las vegas room keep up cool video
Good to capture it now. The way Vegas likes to replace hotels and casinos it’s amazing the whole building is still there, let alone the showroom!
I heard the Las Vegas convention center has saved it and the casino should be there for a long time to come!!
I am 13 years old and starting to become an Elvis fan. Learning from your channel, do you think Elvis would be a big 🌟 star today and making music 🎶
Hi Larae, glad you found me. Yes, I believe Elvis would be huge today. He had the charisma that would make him a superstar at any point in time.. though when he was living it was the perfect time for someone like Elvis because he was different and that stood out back then.. Elvis is the reason all the singers today are superstars.. Elvis started it and also started the rockstar phase.. sunglasses, jewelry, an entourage.. Elvis started all that and everyone copies it now. Let me know if you have anymore questions and I’ll try ti answer them.. Glad you are a new fan and hope you enjoy my shows.
Larae, just compare the talent Elvis had with that unique and beautiful versatile voice. He could sing anything. He was the complete package with his looks, personality and extraordinary talent. Do you know of one person today who even comes close? Congratulations on discovering Elvis. You have great taste in music. Keep exploring Elvis through his videos and Music. You will love him all your life.
My mom and dad 👨 saw Elvis in Salt Lake city and said it was best concert in saw, I think my mom had a crush on Elvis but to me she shouldn't have a crush on anybody because it's my mom..I also know he did movies but I don't like black white ones, just ones full of color. I like the houndog dog 🐕 song 🎵 and many more..Thanks 4 your reply..
He works so hard on that stage 600 shows that's a lot oh shows
Thank you Trey for giving us a tour of Elvis' Showroom. Very impressive. Safe travels.
Thank you for letting us look. I really hope to go and see one day!!!!! I live in Europe. Working nurse. May be. One day.
.....oh to have been there, once upon a time, when Elvis Presley ruled.....we can all dream, can't we??😔 Well, at least we still have good old Barry packin' them in, 50+ years later!😂
Awesome video, Trey! ⚡TCB⚡
Elvis was the man and had a heart of gold! Thanks Trey, great video with historical perspective
Just think….a little peek into what Elvis saw as he made his way to entertain us all. Pretty neat to retrace his steps, even though it has changed some ❤️ Cool video

Trey; Elvis dedicated his life to bringing people together with his great music. It's wonderful to see his mission continue through your work and that of Billy Stallings AKA: Spa Guy.

Great stuff, Trey!
Thank you for this history of Elvis

Colonel Parker and Elvis Presley set Vegas on fire
You must of got the shivers when you first walked on that stage Trey. Wow what a stage to be on. The King's stage....Ahh man! Just wish I was there. Another cracking Elvis video Trey.
Imagine if your playing that stage. Lol you have to walk over that. Lol
Thank you again Trey. We are so lucky to have you both giving us great true history
Thanks Jill
Me encanta, fantástico como siempre Trey!!!!😊👏👏👏👏👏
I went to the Westgate in 2017 and was lucky enough to meet a nice employee that showed me around the place and I got to see the same things you show in your video. I have a few photos but your video has filled the gap of some of what I can't remember. I did get to go into his dressing room that was closed in your video. He said the only things in there that were original to when Elvis was there were the 2 bars and the mirrors. The bars definitely looked old. The room wasn't remarkable at all in regards to decor but when you too into account that Elvis was in there and looked at himself in those same mirrors, it kicked up the experience to a 10. I do remember that elevator and have a photo in it. I didn't want to overstay my welcome so I never felt like I could stop and take it all in, especially when being on stage but your video helped me relive that and do that so thank you! Excellent video!!!
Glad you were able to experience it!! I haven’t been inside the dressing room yet but I’ll make it happen one day.. glad you enjoyed the film! Thanks for watching!
Wow that is where he's song is Heart out.
Caramba eu lembro deste show ele pulou e atravessou neste lugar passava direto aqui no Brasil incrível
Trey, thanks for the tour! I think the story about painting the angels or figurines black occurred a night when there either was a power outage or fire alarm and people had to leave their rooms..then Elvis and guys ended up in the stage for several hours…I think Red climbed up a chained link fence barrier and found the black paint.
Great video Trey!! I would love to stand on that stage!!
Loved this video ❤
Vivaaaaaa Elvisssss
Enjoyed it very much Trey and brought back a lot of memories thanks
Glad you enjoyed it man
Was there once, in 1978, I was too young to go in the casino or to the showroom. We were there four nights, five days. Bill Cosby's last show was there our first night. I remember being so disappointed because Lynn Anderson was coming in on our last night there (with some famous comedian was her opening act), and I liked her a lot as a 10-year-old kid. My parents saw both Cosby and Lynn Anderson. My sister was old enough to go to the show but stayed in the room with me. Memories!
Need to get a spirit Box and see if else's spirit is in the house
I am so glad they didn't tear this place down.
Inolvidable Elvis!!!!
A Amazing video thank you for sharing Trey And Spa Guy👌🇱🇷
Grazie ragazzi siete il 🔝👏👏👏
Awesome Trey💙
Brilliant history thank you Trey love this
Trey, I'd pay to see you and spa guy before I pay to see Barry Manilow-great job!
I appreciate that haha
Loved seeing the showroom! Gives me goosebumps when you pan across it with your camera! So very cool! Thanks for all the great videos!
Glad you enjoyed the pan Dee.. it’s a cool place to be and just imagine what it was like 40 years ago.
It would have been so cool!!
Between 1970 till 1977 I saw 115 shows there.
What is your favorite memory from a show?
My favorite memory was when he first was calling the house and I told my mom that I don't believe it was really him calling. So he told my mom to get me on the phone with him. He said I herd that you don't think it's really me and I said no, he said well you guys are coming up to Vegas this weekend to see me, I said yes. Elvis says well out of all the jumpsuits I have what would you want me to wear. I said the tiger suit. He laughed and said well I have to lose 10 pounds but I will do it for you. Well we went to the show that weekend and when he came out on stage he was wearing that tiger suit and he looked down at me and winked.
thank you very much my friend... i am from quebec i love what you are doing
I really wanna visit my cousin Elvis Presley show case room and I also wanna visit his hotel that’s my dream
Wish I could seen him in vegas
Long time ago after Elvis passed I was drug into this show by an ex in the vip booths, and sat with robert urich christie brinkley and his mom,, The show was Wayne newton.Never really heard of him much, and i was laughing an told robert What is he an elvis impersonator, he laughed,,,,I didnt know he and wayne were freinds on tv, , Long story short Wayne considered it Elvis house and claims he visits him there in spirit,,Hes kooky, But did go to Elvis suite it is alot differnt now but was exciting to visit in the 80,s
I bet it was fun siting with Christie Brinkley lol I didn’t realize Wayne newton played there after Elvis for awhile
Great job guys , so very informative, keep up the good work , love it thank you👌
I appreciate it Pamela, I’ll try my best to keep bringing these Elvis places to the audience..
Thank you for this great video!!!!!♥️
Hi Trey that was brilliant! Thanks again 👍 great footage! I absolutely enjoyed it! Great work as per usual! Take care sending love and peace 💙💙🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘☮
Just found this video and your channel (I subbed too!). Our family was in Vegas last summer (2022) and I really wanted to see the theatre but couldn't because Barry M. and the crew were rehearsing at the time. We still walked around, tooks pics by the statue, etc. Anyways, thanks for posting this and for taking us behind the scenes. What I wouldn't give to go back in time to see just one Elvis show in that theatre. ⚡️TCB⚡️
Fantastic! Thank you!
Man, I can't tell you how much I loved this video!
I have watched video of that iconic show but have never been there before. I am going to be staying there at the end of November and will be getting married to my fiance there at the Westgate in the Chapel, by an Elvis impersonator.
We are seeing an Elvis show while there, as well. I can't wait to tour the area you took us on in your video? I know it will be a special time for us. Thanks for filming this and sharing your love and appreciation to the man, the King, Elvis!
Congratulations man, enjoy your special day in Las Vegas.. definitely get that picture on stage where Elvis performed while you are there! Elvis was the ere once upon a time..
Trey an Billy Thanks Guys
Wow.. The hallway, the dressing room and elevator are pretty much the same as the 70's..
Was it smells like the olden day too? Old men cologne: Brut? 😂
A bit creepy to me and I am not surprised if that area can be haunted by Elvis or other entertainers who had long gone, .. Amazing exploration Mr Trey and Mr Spa Guy.. TCB 👍👍👍👍
I’ll have to pay attention next time on the smell haha
I wanna see that room and stage one day
Fly to Vegas man and make it happen!
I saw Elvis at The Las Vegas Hilton twice during his 1974 Summer Engagement. I saw one dinner show with my mom and sister and one midnight show just by myself, I paid $12.50 to stand in the balcony to watch Elvis ‘ SRO concert . If you ever get a chance to film Elvis’ complete route from getting off the service elevator and walking the so called service/kitchen area to the showroom it would be much appreciated.
As when I was there in 1974 I was all of 16. The reason for this request, back then on the far left side of the casino there was a restaurant where we would have breakfast/lunch and many a time we sat in the booth right next to Vernon with a few other people eating and having coffee. Anyway somewhere not to far from there was a door that said employees only. One night I got it into my head that I’d figure out when Elvis’ Dinner show would be almost over and try to get to him for a handshake, autograph, photograph, anything. So make my way to that door I noticed earlier and I opened that door and walked down a long narrow hallway. At the end to my left there was the service elevator, I believe was the one Elvis used to come down from his suite.
To the right was this much larger hallway that was much wider. As I walked, the pathway it continued this gradual right turn until I got to a point where off to my sharp right was a wide, dead end hallway. The interesting thing was that to my left the was a single door in front of me. I opened the door which was unlocked, only to find a second door. My nervous hand grasped the knob and tried to turn it but it was locked.
Basically I was a kid wanting nothing more than getting Elvis’ autograph. I could here Elvis singing“Can’t Help Falling In Love.” I backed out and stood in the hallway hoping I would be able to meet Elvis. But, to my dismay, as I stood there I saw multiple band members come out, but no Elvis. I stayed there for what seemed like 10 minutes or so, still no Elvis. Then I saw a Hilton security guard approached me who escorted me out of the employee’s only area.
I’m just wondering if that door was stage level, I assume it was since Elvis’ sing was so loud and clear. At the time I didn’t realize there was a level under the stage. If there ever was a time that I wish that I was a gorgeous girl it was then as I probably could have met Elvis.
Oh well, memories. Thank you for your channel, I appreciate it! If at some point you could film the path to the showroom it’d be great! Thanks again!
One last thing, if my memory serves me right, during Elvis’ August 1974 engagement I swear that at the center of the stage in the showroom there was like an approximately a six foot long stage extension that brought Elvis out closer into the audience. If you could confirm, that’d be great. Thank you again for your time and your patience with my long story.
Yes, there was an extension. You can see it in some fan footages on YT, specially from the september 1974 concerts.
@@PauloPereira-jj4jv thank you for the info, I appreciate it!
There is footage of Elvis walking through the hallway and pass where people were eating ...look up, look up that's the way it is outtakes here on TH-cam.
Trey next time you go to Vegas do a story on lake Mead snd the Hoover dam.
Thanks for the video
Great Vlog Trey! Thanks! I was actually at the Hilton in Las Vegas in the early 90's and just had to go into the showroom. Back then there was a glass casing, just outside the entrance, with one of Elvis' jumpsuits in it. I wonder if that is still there?
I saw the movie last night, and became enthralled by all the discrepancies within the movie, compared to what I’ve learned by watching both you and Billy’s posts. Someday they’ll get it right, and maybe focus more on Elvis’ time in Germany, along with happy times and his generousity with the public.
The movie is terrible and I’m not afraid to tell the world that… Baz had an opportunity to make a masterpiece and he bazed it up.. and didn’t care about the most important thing.. the real Elvis History!
Remember people this is a movie not a documentary .
@@elvispresleythelegendtcbalways People believe the garbage in this movie. We will never get the lies cleared ip. Movies like this perpetuate the lies.
@@GlobetrottingWithTrey I knew Baz did not do his research. He never mentions anyone he interviewed except Sam Bell. No interview with Billy Smith ir Nancy Rook or TG Shepherd or Kathy Westmoreland ir his backup singers, directors and costars, etc.Elvis was an upbeat person. He died from a heart attack. So many discrepancies. Elvis wiyld hate the movie.
Same can be said of all the rubbish in all the muck raking books that have come out over the years abaut him any real fan would keep away from any of that. Plus elvis would not be happy abaut any of that also.
That's a great picture where hes signed the girl's oligraph
Oh and Emilio always set are family in the front row.
What are you trying to say?
dont get me wrong Elvis is undoubtedly the king, but if anyone gets a chance, try to just listen to the band he had in them days...phenomenal backing, they never seem to get appreciated !
Lyla, James Burton is in the RR Hall of Fame. Tony Brown later ran Nashville edition of MCA.
Great video! I love the history behind the showroom and hotel. Amazing to think that his iconic Vegas performance all happened in this room! I wonder if Westgate allow fans to have a snesk peak into the showroom if they ask?
All you can do is ask and see what happens..
Hi guys thank you for showing us this again a great vlog just a question have you and spa guy seen the new elvis movie perhaps if you do you could do a vlog on how you think about it
Yes we have seen it and will be working on an in-depth vlog soon.. I did a short video last week about my thoughts if you would like to know what I think.. go to my channel and you will find the episode.
Trey find that girl that gave Elvis the necklace that night. Lol
She has to be out there somewhere… maybe she will read this comment
He entered the stage on the right if you're looking at the stage
The photo I believe was from 1970 or 73
Elvis Presley is my 10th cousin
He said it smell like trash back there that's where they got rid of the garbage behind the stage
Thanks guys how did you get accsess
They left out of the movie where Elvis had a boxing robe made for Muhammad Ali and how Elvis hid away at Ali's Deer Lake training camp for a few days just to rest and get away from press n everything. And when Elvis would rent out a theatre so that him and James Brown could watch a movie together with friends.
Muhammad Ali and James Brown should have been one of the highlights of ANY Elvis movie and documentary.
Exactly because they were actually friends with Elvis… no need to make stuff up for a narrative.. tell the real story and you have a masterpiece
