An Elvis-Themed Resort is Planned for Las Vegas

A hotel and casino centered entirely around the life and work of Elvis Presley is rumored for the Las Vegas strip.

Globe Street reports that property:

fronting the east side of the Las Vegas Strip immediately south of Harmon Avenue...was acquired [by FX Luxury] from Africa-Israel Investments Ltd. An Elvis-themed resort is expected, if not a sure thing.

Indeed a spokesperson for the FX Luxury company told Commercial Property News that since its affiliate company CFX owns Elvis Presley Enterprises, an Elvis Presley resort was a no-brainer.

"Elvis was the embodiment of Las Vegas and, in all surveys, is the entertainer most associated with Las Vegas."

Good lord. Meanwhile, if you can't wait for that hunka bunka burning hotel love to open, the Cirque du Soleil's Elvis show should open sometime in December 2009.
