Hi i was wondering on how many times Elvis did wear the Chinese dragon in
august when he performed in Las vegas. I guess it just was maybe one or
two times.

Hello Moody-blues67. I only know that Elvis wore this jumpsuit wile performing in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, Detroit, South Bend, St Paul and Dayton during his 1974 tour. I don't how many times he wore it in Las Vegas but if I find the answer, I will tell you :king:

I could see that. Mine is the Blue Nail with the Peacock a close second... Burning Love and CHinese Dragon are tied for third!

I like the outfit, too. But I guess Elvis did not. Otherwise he would have worn this suit more often. When he started to use some of his old outfits again, he only used the belt of this suit, but not the suit itself.
