A look in Elvis's Las Vegas suite.

[presley31]

One of the most interesting topics on the message board from elvismatters is about Elvis's Las Vegas suite. It features pictures of the suite, that make their debut on the internet.

The suite in it's original state was only used after Elvis by Bill Cosby and Engelbert Humperdinck.

Last August, when the ElvisMatters group visited the Hilton Hotel, it was occupied by Barry Manilow, so there was no access, but these pictures make up for it - A LOT.

[goodelvisgirl]

good pic thanks for posting nice ot have a look at what elvis lived in

[Johnny]

Thanks for the picture, but is this the way it looked when Elvis occupied it or is it how it looks now?


but these pictures make up for it - A LOT.

...what pictures? I only see one picture. Do you have more to share with us? (y)

[Getlo]

I'm not sure about this picture. ;)

I'd be interested to see what their source was, and when they claim the picture was taken.

Even by 1970s standards, it doesn't look very glamorous: nothing like a presidential suite, anyway.

[Rover]

I think it looks cool! Thanks for sharing :)
Like JTH said, has it stayed the same way it was when Elvis lived in it?

[Himselvis]

One thing for sure, Elvis had no hand in decorating this room. Way too conservative for his taste.

[presley31]

Its taken me all day to get back into this site, there is only one pic.

[Diane]

Thanks for posting the picture Jen. The suite looks nice to me!(y)

That place must have been remodeled after Elvis left and the bedroom looks nothing like the one I saw when Barry Manilow invited cameras in to look at the suite recently.

Elvis's bed was on a raised platform, and besides that bedroom is wayyy to small!!

:angry: Thank you very much "Jen" for posting MY pictures whithout even mentioning my name.....(n)
I was the one who took the pictures in The suite at The Las Vegas Hilton and i placed them on the Elvis matters forum. Why?.....because i like to share special things with my fellow fans and friends. These pictures have been in my possesion since that day i shot them in 1992. I placed a few of them in the Dutch magazine "It`s Elvis time" and that`s it.
Yesterday i`ve decided to put a few on the internet for the first time, but didn`t place them all and i`m glad i didn`t. I had a strange feeling this kind of things where going to happen and i`m pretty sick of it.(n)
I was planning to put the other 15 pictures on the internet too, but that`s no opion anymore and these pictures are even better then the ones that i placed now. Too bad that things always go this way....
Get me well; when i put those pictures on that forum, i was well aware of the fact that anyone could take them off and i don`t mind. It`s the way you take them off and put them on other website`s......you know what i mean, don`t you Jenn???

I had a strange feeling this kind of things where going to happen and i`m pretty sick of it[/COLOR][/B]If you're sick of it why post them in the first place? As far as i know there have never been photos of Elvis' suite shown on the internet.So it was obvious they were going to be spread around.And another thing your name hasn't been credited on other sites that i've seen these photos on today.So you can't blame Jen for that.(n)
BTW they are great photos(y)

If a picture is not protected that is posted on the web, it's up for grabs to any and everybody. Jen didn't do anything wrong. However, she could have asked for permission if the owners name was listed. I don't know if that was the case??

the first pic l posted l gave the information that was there, the last pics all said the same thing. Maybe the owner better go to every forum and tell them what he told us.

[Diane]

That's it, if you don't put a copyright stamp on the photos they are up for grabs. Jen didn't do a thing wrong.

Thank you Jen, I really enjoyed this pictures. I had no idea how Elvis lived in L.A. and it was great seeing these.(y)

yes its not a nice feeling yadee, maybe l won't post anything else for awhile.

[ricardo b. prospero]

Great pictures the place really fits for the king. I am just sorry some of you people have to engage on unnecessary discussion on the subject pictures. I just want to remind you that we are all ELVIS fans and we should love and respect each other. A real Elvis fan will always love to share anything for the love of Elvis and never ask anything in return. This is the true spirit of being an Elvis fan. I hope you settle the issue once and for all. Let us direct our attention to a more sensible and healthy discussion. Thank you

[jatta-tcb]

[Merry]

I know how you feel.

[presley31]

Thanks ladies

[Getlo]

So when were these pictures taken?

I don't believe Elvis' suite would've looked like this back in his day, and it certainly doesn't look like that now!

[velasca1]

Wow....thanks for posting the pics, Jenn.

They are great!

(larger than my whole(y) house -- geez)

A copyright should be on everything one posts if one wants credit for it.
Otherwise; I agree with others .It's "fairgame" to take and share with others.

Very strange how some get so irate if you just want to share with everyone.
No one person owns anything Elvis unless you create it .

BTW: I don't think EP decorated every suite he stayed in. So, yes; I think it's a very nice,elegant suite. Just more "assumptions" on how EP did things ?
But, really --does it matter ?

I'm not trying to discredit anyone here, but I do have a question.

The pictures of Elvis' suite posted by presley31, which I love BTW, are they of the same suite as the video posted by Donut, which is at the bottom of this page? The one with Barry Manilow in it.

I had a boyfriend in the 80's (can't remember the exact year) his mother won a contest for a trip to Vegas, a tour of Wayne Newton's ranch, dinner and a show, then snacks and drinks in Wayne's suite, which I understood was Elvis' suite. Does anyone know if Wayne had Elvis' old suite?
Anyway I went to Vegas for all this....I only wanted to see the suite because I thought it was Elvis' old suite. The pictures that presley31 posted are similar to what I remember of the suite. Not all of them, but I was only in the living room, dining room, and of course the foyer. I thought it looked rather small considering all the people that Elvis had around him all the time. Now the one that Barry Manilow is in looks absolutely huge and much more accomadating to Elvis' entourage.
Anybody have any information?

[elvisbootlegs]

wow, you would have thought bud glass posted these pics himself.

[Wendy56]

What a suite! I like it! Thanks for these :cool: pictures. :clap:

[Getlo]

I had no idea how Elvis lived in L.A. and it was great seeing these.(y)

Huh?

These pictures are (allegedly) of Elvis' suite in the Las Vegas Hilton.

[Getlo]

Er, yes it most certainly does!

If someone has posted these pics saying they're from Elvis' Hilton suite, then they'd better be accurate.

For what it's worth, and after examining the pics several times and reading descriptions of the Hilton suite, I have my doubts about these.

Perhaps the original poster ad schijven could tell us how and when they were taken, how they gained access to the suite etc?

[presley31]

What a suite! I like it! Thanks for these :cool: pictures. :clap:

you welcome Wendy.

[EP75]

It is the suite in Las Vegas. A few years ago Entertainment Tonight did a story on EP and they did a private tour of his Las Vegas suite and the setup was just the same as is pictured. Only some of the furniture looked different but similar to that picture describes. It looked more like a Palm Springs California home than a hotel suite on the TV tour. As they showed it they played A Space Odyssey in the background.

It has also been documented over the years that EP did have a big say in how the International main suite would be designed and how he wanted it to look. There is also footage of him looking at the blueprints of the suite as it was being built.

[GirlHappy19]

The other night I watching "cribs"on MTV and show Elvis suit in Vegas.It was nothing like this photos.Everything was white and pinkIt was gorgous!it even had a swimming pool.They said that the king had taste and style.By tthe way---the night they show the suit Barry Manillow was staying in that suit.Oh I would like if MTV inclues Graceland in "cribs"After he was the king:)

maybe it was a updated since elvis was there at the time.

[EP75]

EP didn't have a swimming pool inside his suite. Not in those days. So it must have been as the above poster said, an upgrading to the suite for modern day stars. And why was this on MTV Cribs and not mentioned by EPE? Boy they sure are good informing us of these things, when it does not include them making a profit off of it.
