Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino is hosting a special concert series in 2026 honoring Elvis Presley’s most famous performances. Following two sold-out shows of 1969 LIVE! – The King Returns, the resort will host three new productions in its International Theater starring tribute artist Travis Powell.

“The response to 1969 LIVE! was something special and it reaffirmed what we’ve always known—Elvis lives here,” said Cami Christensen, President and General Manager of Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, in a press statement. “We’re honored to continue celebrating his legacy with this new series of shows in 2026, each one bringing fans closer to the music, the energy, and the magic that made Elvis an icon. No stage in the world is more connected to The King’s history than Westgate—and we’re proud to be the home where it all comes back to life.”

The series begins Jan. 14, 2026, with 1973 LIVE! – Aloha From Westgate, recreating Elvis’ historic satellite concert that reached an estimated 1.5 billion viewers across 36 countries. Powell will perform the original setlist while wearing replicas of Elvis’ famous white jumpsuits from the era.

On July 31, 2026, 1969 LIVE! – The Return of the King is back to mark the anniversary of Presley’s debut at the venue. This show echoes the energy of his 1969 comeback that revitalized Las Vegas entertainment and established his residency format.

The final performance on Oct. 24, 2026, is 1970 LIVE! – That’s The Way It Was, based on the concert documentary filmed at the International Theater. Fans will experience the music and atmosphere from the film performed live on the same stage where it was originally recorded.

Elvis performed 636 shows at this location between 1969 and 1976, when it operated as the International Hotel. Today, Westgate Las Vegas maintains this musical heritage while offering modern amenities including multiple dining options, a casino, spa services and pool facilities.
