elvis and vegas, baby! day 3

Holy moly, Miss Molly! This has certainly been a different Elvis Festival for me!
This day began at 1 PM in the big room with Jukebox LIVE! What made it special?
The lucky seven ETAs entertaining lucky us!
This was a "celebration of music legends" show where I was treated to see Elvis Tribute Artists paying tribute to other jukebox heroes.
Jukebox LIVE featured Dean Z‘s tribute to Buddy Holly, Dwight Icenhower‘s tribute to Sir Elton John, Robert Washington‘s tribute to James Brown, Irv Cass‘ tribute to Tom Jones, Diogo "Di" Light‘s tribute to Engelbert Humperdinck, and Taylor Rodriguez‘ tribute to Ritchie Valens!
What about Elvis? Oh, no worries, Ted Torres took care of representing the King in this musical feast!


Even the Everly Brothers, Phil and Don, had their moment in the limelight again to riff on each other and share the music, thanks to Dean Z and Ted Torres!
Kudos to the Change of Habit tribute band for keeping up with the tune changes!

After giving my tootsies a rest - and hobnobbing with the guys at the mid-afternoon Meet'n'Greet - it was time for a little dinner and then...
the 8 PM headliner at Sam's Town Live!

This show, THAT"S THE WAY, took a look at the different eras of Elvis’ musical career.
It started with Victor Trevino Jr.’s dynamic portrayal of Elvis in the 1950’s - sah-weet!
Images of the King World Champion "Di" Light performed music from the ’68 Comeback Special - ooh la la! Love the black leather! I'd only ever seen him in the white jumpsuit at the Georgia Elvis Fest!
The show finished up with Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist and Images of the King World Champion Ben Portsmouth, a British ETA. His performance focused on Elvis’ concert years, when he was "taking care of business in a flash", from 1969 until his death in 1977.
The Change of Habit tribute band were taking care of business, too, as they rocked steady,
all night long!
(smile!)

But was the party over after the concert?
Absolutely not!
It just changed venues, over to Roxy's Lounge!
(smile!)
Victor Trevino Jr & The Gamblers and some of the other ETAs were over there for “Elvis Tribute Unhinged”! That show not only featured music from Elvis but also some of the best party songs of all time!
I am so glad I decided to stay over here at Sam's Town instead of bouncing back and forth to The Strip! That would have been exhausting, plus I know I would have felt that I'd missed out on all of this late night fun.
It's my birthday party, y'all, and I'm living it up, living it up, oh, yeah!
(smile)

i thank You, God!
