Elvis fans may have a couple of years to wait but there is most definitely going to be some sort of Elvis-themed hotel and casino opening up in Las Vegas in the near future.

The NY Post reports that the Riviera Hotel & Casino maybe converted into the "Graceland Casino" as a tribute to Elvis.

A source says the billionaire investor [Robert Sillerman] (who, in 2005, bought 85 percent of the entity that controls Presley's name and likeness, and tourist operations at Graceland in Memphis) has been quietly looking to buy the Vegas land mark and convert it into the Graceland Casino.

And conveniently for Sillerman, his CKX Inc. owns FX Luxury Realty which has a stake in the Riviera. But we think they can do better thatn Graceland Casino. What about Heartbreak Hotel?

    Elvis-Themed Casino

    I am so excited and I want to be one of the first to visit. I can't think of anything more appropriate than to have a casino named in honor of Elvis. He was the world's greatest entertainer and I love him more than anything.  I also love Vegas and playing those Elvis slots.
