1. 1969 LIVE! – The Return of the King | July 31, 2026
The anniversary of the concert that changed Las Vegas forever. One night. The original setlist. Nine backup singers. Be there.
When Elvis Presley took the stage at the International Hotel on July 31, 1969, he had not performed live in over eight years. What happened that night wasn't just a comeback — it was a detonation. Elvis performed with a nine-piece band, eight-piece brass section, and nine backup singers to a crowd that included some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. The reviews were religious in their awe. The residency that followed (636 shows spanning seven years) rewrote the economic model of Las Vegas showrooms forever.
1969 LIVE! marks the 57th anniversary of that debut with a full recreation at the same International Theater. Travis Powell performs the exact 1969 setlist, backed by nine backup singers and an eight-piece band replicating the arrangement Elvis used on opening night. Every detail — the instrumentation, the sequencing, the period presentation — is built to put you as close as possible to what the audience felt in that room in 1969.
After the main show, the Cabaret Theater at Westgate opens from 9 PM to midnight with free performances of The King Comes Home, so the evening can run as long as your spirit does.
Venue: International Theater, Westgate Las Vegas, 3000 Paradise Rd
Date: July 31, 2026 (one night only)
Band: 8-piece band + 9 backup singers, replicating the original arrangement
Performer: Travis Powell
Post-show: Cabaret Theater opens 9 PM-midnight with The King Comes Home performances (free)
Tip: July is peak Vegas summer — book hotel and show tickets together well in advance. The combination of the main event and the free late-night Cabaret makes for a full, extraordinary evening.
2. 1970 LIVE! – That's The Way It Was | October 24, 2026
Witness the concert documentary that defined an era, recreated on the same stage where it was filmed.
In the summer of 1970, MGM sent a film crew to Las Vegas to capture Elvis Presley in concert at the International Hotel. The result was That's the Way It Is, a documentary that gave the world one of its most intimate and electrifying portraits of Elvis in full performance mode.
1970 LIVE! recreates the concert behind the documentary on October 24, 2026, with Travis Powell performing on the same stage where the original film was shot. It is the most immersive way to experience one of the most celebrated documents in Elvis's career — not by watching the film at home, but by being inside the room where history was recorded.
October is one of the finest months to visit Vegas: manageable crowds, cooler evenings, no summer heat. The 1970 concert is a deep-cut experience that rewards the genuinely devoted Elvis fan.
Venue: International Theater, Westgate Las Vegas, 3000 Paradise Rd
Date: October 24, 2026 (one night only)
Performer: Travis Powell
Context: Recreates the concert filmed for the MGM documentary That's the Way It Is, shot on the same stage
Tip: Pair with a visit to the Westgate's Elvis history exhibits and a stay at the resort where Elvis lived during his Las Vegas residency years.
3. The King Comes Home | Cabaret Theater, Westgate Las Vegas
The most comprehensive ongoing Elvis tribute on the Strip, performed in the room that Elvis made famous.
When the one-night specials aren't running, the Westgate keeps the King's spirit alive with its ongoing Cabaret Theater residency. Produced by DDM Productions (also behind Soul of Motown), the show takes audiences through the full sweep of Elvis's career: his early Sun Studio recordings, the Hollywood movie era, the landmark 1968 TV special, and the electrifying Las Vegas run that followed.
This is the show for visitors who want to understand why Elvis was Elvis. The King Comes Home isn't a single-night greatest hits concert — it's a journey through a career that genuinely shaped American popular music.
Venue: Cabaret Theater, Westgate Las Vegas, 3000 Paradise Rd
Schedule: Tuesday at 5:30 PM | Wednesday-Friday at 7:30 PM | Saturday at 2:00 PM
Price From: $83, prices vary by month
Producer: DDM Productions
Tip: The Tuesday 5:30 PM show gives you your whole evening free afterward. Saturday matinee is ideal if you have evening plans elsewhere.
4. All Shook Up | Alexis Park Resort
Las Vegas's longest-running dedicated Elvis tribute, and one of the best entertainment values in the city.
Before the Westgate had its current lineup, All Shook Up was already running at Alexis Park Resort. A rotating cast of award-winning Elvis Tribute Artists — each bringing their own physical interpretation and vocal strengths — covers the full range of Elvis's music from Heartbreak Hotel through Suspicious Minds, with Jailhouse Rock, Hound Dog, and all the essential touchpoints in between.
The show is backed by a full live band, runs 75 minutes, welcomes all ages, and delivers reliable entertainment at a price point that makes it easy to say yes. Its TripAdvisor ranking in the top 10% of Attractions worldwide is well-earned.
Venue: Alexis Park Resort, 375 E Harmon Ave (near the Strip)
Duration: 75 minutes
Price From: From $59, prices vary
Cast: Rotating roster of award-winning ETAs
Band: Full live band
Age: All ages welcome
Tip: All Shook Up is the best pick for families with children or visitors who want a high-energy, accessible Elvis experience without the premium pricing of the Westgate special events.
5. Spirit of the King: The Ultimate Elvis Show | Notoriety Showroom, Downtown
Downtown Vegas's own King: intimate, affordable, and exactly what it promises.
Spirit of the King at the Notoriety Showroom on Fremont Street is the most budget-accessible Elvis show in Las Vegas — a solid choice for visitors based Downtown, spontaneous evening entertainment seekers, or anyone who wants to fit a quality Elvis tribute into a trip without a premium price tag.
The Notoriety Showroom is an intimate Downtown venue that suits the tribute format well. You're close to the action, the energy is immediate, and the show delivers on its promise.
Venue: Notoriety Showroom, Downtown Las Vegas (Fremont Street area)
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes
Price From: From $38, prices vary
Tip: Pair with a Fremont Street Experience walk before or after the show for the full Downtown Vegas evening.
6. Legends in Concert | Harrah's Las Vegas
The long-running celebrity tribute variety show that keeps Elvis as a permanent fixture.
Legends in Concert at Harrah's Showroom rotates its tribute lineup to feature multiple celebrity impressionists — Michael Jackson, Dolly Parton, Whitney Houston, Elton John, and others — with an Elvis performer as a consistent centerpiece.
This is the right choice for visitors whose group wants a big variety tribute show with Elvis as a headlining segment rather than a full standalone Elvis evening. Professional production values, a rotating cast, and nightly availability make it the most flexible option on this list.
Venue: Harrah's Showroom, Harrah's Las Vegas, 3475 S Las Vegas Blvd
Format: Celebrity tribute variety show; Elvis is a regular headliner
Schedule: Regular nightly performances; check current schedule
Tip: Verify that Elvis is in the current cast rotation before booking if he is your primary motivation.

Which Elvis Show Should You Choose?
Choose a Westgate Special Concert if your travel dates align with July 31 or October 24. Standing in the room where 636 concerts happened, watching a world-class ETA recreate a specific landmark performance on the actual stage where it occurred, is something that cannot be replicated anywhere else on earth. These are once-a-year events — prioritize them if your schedule allows.
Choose The King Comes Home if you want an ongoing Westgate Elvis experience with flexible scheduling and a show that covers Elvis's full career arc. Strong production values and a Tuesday-through-Saturday schedule make this the most flexible premium option.
Choose All Shook Up if you are traveling with family, working with a tighter budget, or want the longest-running dedicated Elvis tribute in Las Vegas. The TripAdvisor top 10% ranking is well-earned. Consistent for years, reliable entertainment at an accessible price.
Choose Spirit of the King if you are based Downtown, catching a spontaneous show, or want the most affordable entry point into Las Vegas Elvis entertainment. Easy to slot into an evening that includes dinner and the Fremont Street Experience.

FAQ's
What is the best Elvis show in Las Vegas in 2026?
If your travel dates allow it, the Westgate one-night special concerts (1969 LIVE! on July 31 or 1970 LIVE! on October 24) are the definitive answer. Headlined by Travis Powell and performed in the actual International Theater where Elvis played 636 shows, these are historically grounded events unlike anything else available. If your dates don't align, All Shook Up at Alexis Park is the top ongoing show for value and consistency, while The King Comes Home at the Westgate offers the closest ongoing connection to the real venue.
Where did Elvis perform in Las Vegas?
