Show Description:
The most celebrated icon in the city’s growing history, few images are as symbolic of the city’s great power as Elvis’ shimmering white jumpsuit. The city gave Elvis a second chance with his career, and the Elvis Show Las Vegas at the Sahara proves that his untimely death has had little effect on the power of the music he recorded before he passed away.
Las Vegas is littered with tributes
to the great singer, from American
Superstars to Legends
in Concert to myriad off-strip productions featuring
the songs of the King – but they all pale in comparison
to the effect of the Las Vegas Elvis Show called “The
Musical History of the King.” Outside of Graceland,
this is the closest you’ll ever get to Elvis.
Famed Elvis impersonator Trent Carlini
brings his significant talents to the Las Vegas Elvis
Show – not only a moving tribute but also one of
the premiere live shows in Las Vegas. Disappearing into
the singer’s larger than life oeuvre, Carlini recreates
many of Elvis’ greatest hits, from his early days
in Tennessee
all the through the twilight of his career as the Strip’s
greatest entertainer. The Elvis Las Vegas show follows
the singer’s career more or less chronologically,
giving ticket holders the chance to experience a condensed
version of his storied career.
One of the most energetic live shows
in Las Vegas, it is nicely broken up by video montages
– from Carlini expositing on the joy and honor that
comes with impersonating the King, to vintage footage
of the real Elvis’s live shows in Las Vegas (both
on stage and behind the scenes), these short interruptions
make the homage even more powerful. Carlini’s extraordinary
accuracy in his portrayal of the King is impressive, even
when it is being compared and contrasted with film of
Elvis himself.
The Elvis Las Vegas show: “The Musical History of the King” runs everyday but Sunday, at 9pm at the Sahara Theater. For the King’s greatest fans, it’s definitely a must-see.

Artist Biography:
Outside of the Beatles (who, coincidentally have their own Vegas tribute show in Cirque De Soleil’s Beatles LOVE), Elvis is probably the most significant singer in musical history. It was his early recordings that helped birth Rock and Roll, and his influence can be felt throughout the music world, even today. And the Elvis Las Vegas show just drives the point home, despite dying over 25 years ago, tributes to the singer sell out on a regular basis, uniting King fans both young and old.
Trent Carlini is well known as one of the best Elvis impersonators of all time. He has appeared on Letterman, Leno and Oprah and won the Las Vegas Visitors Choice Award two years in a row. He perfected his role in this Las Vegas Elvis show as the former headliner at the Legends in Concert.
Elvis helped birth Rock and Roll, and his influence can be felt throughout the music world, even today. And the Elvis Las Vegas show just drives the point home, as millions of fans come from all over the world to marvel at some of the most trivial of items, made important only due to their ephemeral place in the King’s life.
