An Elvis-Themed Hotel Gets One Step Closer to Actuality

February 21, 2008 at 1:53 PM | by | Comment (1)

TradeMork a funny site all about "trademark oddities, information and news" reports that Elvis Presley Enterprises recently filed paperwork to protect the trademark "The Elvis Las Vegas" and "The E Las Vegas."

The protections are for three categories which include these goods and services: resort hotel, hotel, restaurant, bar as well as real estate services for residential apartments, condominiums and retail establishments.

We've been following the plans for a Las Vegas Elvis-themed hotel for a while now but TradeMork also speculates that a hotel could go up near Graceland in Memphis.

While we don't doubt that will happen someday, we are guessing the Elvis Las Vegas is the actual hotel that will go up in Las Vegas and the E Las Vegas sounds like the residential bit of the hotel complex.

Afterall, would you live in a place named after Elvis? On second though, don't answer that. There are probably plenty of you who will.

Re: An Elvis-Themed Hotel Gets One Step Closer

I think developer Flag Luxury has something to do with this Elvis thing (developers of Ritz South Beach and Jupiter and the St. Regis/Baccarat in Anguilla).  

Flag and CKX (who owns 85% of Elvis Presley Enterprises) each own half of FX Luxury Realty, a company thats gonna develop Elvis hotels.  CKX owns all the rights to Elvis' likeness through their ownership of EPE.  

So basically Flag builds the hotels and CKX provides the Elvisness.  They're talking about building a luxury Elvisy one in Vegas and then a chain of more mid-market Elvis stuff across the country.
