  • When Elvis has left the suite in dec 1976, they redecorated this suite. The sky villas" now on the upper floor, which are three very large penthouse suites, that were built in 1994 replacing the original penthouse (room 3000), Elvis's home for 8 years.
    When Elvis was playing in Las Vegas, he lived in the penthouse suite (room 3000), located on the 30th floor, until his last performance there in December 1976. These pictures from the inside of the Elvis suite, you've never seen before, until now!! With many thanks to the owner of the pictures, Ad Schijven, Breda (the Netherlands). Pictures a taken august, 18, 1989.
    Song: Polk Salad Annie, Vegas, December 1975 (FTD, Dinner At Eight)

    My friend (who was a hardcore fan) talked me into going up to his hotel suite at the Hilton, dec 1976 I was 14 and impressionable. We made it to his floor when the doors opened there were 3 huge men right there in the hall. They screamed "Hey, what are you doing, you cant be up here! Scared the living shit out of us. My friend was tapping on the button to close the doors so fast I thought she would break her finger. Just as the doors were closing a hand stopped it. "Oh shit we are in trouble"! 😆 The body guard said "come here, I want to give you something" ...."help"! There was elvis in a red shiny robe and he gave us an autographed picture, and smiled. "Now go on girls.. go home to your mama, shes missing you". A lasting memory that is still fresh in my mind till this day, I still have that picture. 6 months later he died.

      Elvis Presley loved his mother, Gladys, more than anyone or thing in his life. Gladys always worried about Elvis when he was out of her sight. I think that is why Elvis mentioned your mother.

    We went to a Barry Manilow concert about 8 years ago at the Hilton Hotel in Vegas. Manilow was there for a few months & said he was staying in the Elvis suite which was completely renovated & scaled down. He also said the 2 questions he gets asked are 1) Does he feel Elvis' presence around the suite & 2) Is the bullet hole still there & the answer to both questions is YES.

      I saw the ELVIS suite at the Hilton on the Internet and it is DEFINITELY not scaled down. Just the opposite. It looks like a kings palace with all the architecture and style. Literally looks like a billionaires mansion complete with outdoor pool and lounge area. Makes this version look like a Motel 6.

      You’re probably right. I’d love to stay there but it’s unlikely. Went to Graceland last month and never got to see it. I ended up in the hospital for a few weeks but I will be back. Well I may be back. BTW Manilow did say that about living in Elvis’s suite. I remember him saying it was done in bad taste of washed out color even worse than when Elvis was there. I also believe it’s been renovated more than once since 1977.

    Should have made a museum of it. Elvis more or less lived there for long periods.
    Its a shame they did not see the true value.
    If they ever tear down the building, they must cut of the top floor and take it down and keep it.
    Not kidding.

If there were any to be found , I'm sure someone has already thought of that and has them . Crazy.....man !!! lol !! I love Elivs still to this day . Someone told my daughter not long ago that she really needed to go visit Las Vegas at least one time . He was telling her about how cool it was with all the Elvis history there and all Elivs look a likes . This guy that told my daughter that works for some company that requires him to travel a lot so that's how he knew about Las Vegas . I've never been either . Maybe someday !! If I go this is where I'd want to stay just because Elivs stayed there . I've never got to go to Graceland either . I really hope I get a chance to see that before I leave this world .

      Bonnie Brown I don’t think I ever want to go to Graceland. My Mother was with him and he said “Hey, I just bought that place!” Of course, he was referring to Graceland. No one was really impressed because, of course, the floodlights hadn’t been installed. When he passed that day in the bathroom, that exact location is right over the entrance where you stop in thru the front door.

My neighbor, in CA got his billfold pick pocketed, and amazingly, he got it back! They had lots of good stories, to tell, too, or they wouldn't have kept going back! I always went, through Reno, on my way back and forth.

The hotel staff was very open about that fact. I do wish it was original, like it was when Elvis stayed there. I was still enchanting just to be there. Im happy I was able to see in any condition... I hope you are doing well. I still think your daughter is beautiful. Dale

    I don't know when these photos were taken but they were not taken during the time Elvis stayed here. I spent weeks up here at the suite, and it looked nothing like this. The only thing that was at all slightly recognizable was the bar area leading to the dining room, and that was simply the floorplan, nothing more. Even the windows have been changed. They used to be floor to ceiling! I could not find any resemblance whatsoever, but I wish they would have kept the site intact. It was wonderful!

    It's been a while since this video was posted, but
    Nope , it's not the original decor and not the original penthouse size.
    I knew Elvis. I knew a lot of his group like Red, Sonny, etc. I also worked at the Las Vegas Hilton back then. I spent time in the Imperial Suite with Elvis and sometimes at his parties up there.
    And to the person who asked about shows, I attended endless shows either by walking over to watch it backstage on my work breaks or as an invited guest of E
    This is Not what the Imperial Suite was like when Elvis stayed here.
    The hallway leading to the penthouse and the entrance looks correct, but that's about it. Elvis' suite was decorated in red and black.
    The rest of the penthouse was very basic bland in a neutral 1970s style colors. There were 3 other bedrooms on the other end of the penthouse.They were small- not as large as the main suite Elvis stayed in. They were decorated as standard Hilton 70s rooms only smaller. Only beds and nightstands fit l in the rooms. Imagine them as any netral one bedroom hotel room you might stay in today at a hotel. Nothing special.
    They were generally empty as the rest of his crew had their own rooms on lower floors at the Hilton. The Imperial Suite/Penthouse was on the 30th floor.
    Most of his crew stayed on or around floor 3-3 through 6th floors. Red, Sonny, Joe , the band, singers and the rest all had individual rooms while staying there and were not registered guests in the Imperial Suite.
    Those extra 3 rooms were always empty the times I was up there.
    That's not to say someone never used them or just spent the night while hanging up there all night.
    But his entire group that traveled with him for his engagement shows at the Hilton were registered and assigned their own separate rooms elsewhere in the hotel. I know this because at that time I was the PBX Supervisor. I was in daily contact with the group with intructions from and for them all.
    Security and PBX were instructed who to allow up in the Imperial Suite and who Not to allow up there...and who Not to even ring through to specific rooms. They'd often put Do Not Distrurbs on their hotel room phones at night. They had daily wake up calls each day and so forth.
    It was pretty crazy at the Hilton when Elvis performed there.
    People, fans tried all kinds of tricks to try to get up to the suite. PBX and security really had to really stay on top of it all. Security ,usually 2 guys, stood at the entrance doors to the penthouse.
    There were parties and gatherings up in the Imperial Suite at various times, but no uninvited persons were allowed in. One of the guests or guys "might" bring their personal date, but that's about it. Elvis ordered pizzas, food like that for gatherings, parties.
    Elvis stayed up late and got up late the next day.
    He did leave the hotel to go to other shows occadionally, usually at or near the end of his stay at the Las Vegas Hilton. He would go see Tom Jones at his shows at Caesar's Palace.
    He would leave by walking through the employee hallways to get to the limo waiting for him. His security and often a couple hotel security guards would escort him through the employee hallways to his shows or when he was leaving later to go out. One time Elvis decided he wanted to go see Tom Jones. Only Elvis, Red and I attended that Tom Jones show at Caesars Palace that night. We walked through the employee hallways to the car that was waiting for us. We were driven to Caesar's Palace on the strip. We entered the hotel through the front doors. People turned to look at Elvis, but not one person approched him. We walked to and entered the Tom Jones show after it started.
    My uncle worked in the Caesar's showroom and was assigned to us to see if we wanted anything to drink. It was a small town back then . Many people knew each other at different hotels.
    People still noticed Elvis in the low lights of the showroom when we entered. Lots of whispers and ahhhhs.
    We also left the show before it ended and were escorted back stage to meet with Tom Jones. Red was very protective of Elvis and protective of me. I knew we were in good hands with Red watching out for us. Red was the nicest fellas and also a very tough guy.
    So Elvis did go out occasionally and the old Elvis Imperial Suiite was decorated differently than this video.
    I'm disappointed that Westgate advertises this as Elvis' suite. Back in the 70's it wasn't 5000 sq feet. It was much, much smaller.
    His bedroom looked nothing like these photos.
    He wouldn't even recognize this place if he was still alive. And there was no sign on the wall that said The Elvis Suite.

I'm the only ETA who plays the bass guitar at the same time he sings Elvis songs. Plus I look like Elvis & I rock. I'm exciting. I don't just get people to sit or stand there & watch me. I get people to move. I'm the best person for an ETA. Some casino should hire me. I will be there this week with my acoustic bass & be singing on The Strip or next to this casino if allowed.

      It had been redecorated during the 80s. But this suite as shown does not exist any more. In the 90s they built a few huge, high ceiling luxury villas in a much expanded area, and this suite had previously existed somewhere in the same space. Look at exterior pictures of the top of e Hilton in 70s compared to 90s or today. It's radically different than it was in Elvis's time - it almost looks as if another floor was added, compared to 1969 or 1976.

    Yes I think this is been redone to when Elvis was there in 1969 when it was the international and it opened up Elvis was in the greatest shape of his life he rediscovered his talent and he was going to be on top at least until after 1973 I think he was only about $168 to $170 pounds when he made his comeback here at the international he did one of the best live recordings and his life the night that he opened up in the international he had an unbelievable tan he was in an all black jumpsuit and I do think his suit looked a hell of a lot better than in these pictures I think the Westgate is just redone this suit and it does not look cool at all Elvis would have had stereos in his room he would have had big TVs in his room believe me just look at the pictures of Elvis in 1969 when he's walking through the kitchen of the international getting ready to go on that stage he does look like a prince from another planet he was the coolest dude in the world and I know his taste in decorating was different too but it was still hella cool they need to redo this the way Elvis had it when he was there plain and simple and if they ever tear this hotel room down I hope to God they save the piece that Elvis stayed in and just simply look at the pictures when Elvis was there with his friends and other singers and entertainers you'll get an idea of what it looks like and it looked a hell of a lot better than in these pictures here these pictures here or a bunch of artificial flowers a lot of fancy furniture but still Elvis was very young and in his prime at the time when he started here he would have had big TV stereo systems all over the place I know because I seen the pictures of Elvis in the suit when he was there and it doesn't look nothing like this but it is cool to be able to go and I stand in front of the Hilton I mean Westgate to this day Poplar couple of Xanax maybe a Percocet and just stand there and look at Westgate and look up to the third floor and give a big fat ass he's my hero and always will be but we can't forget about Jesus in the Bible Elvis didn't like being called the king he always said there's only one Jesus Elvis was very much into the Bible I guess what we all got our little problems here and there Elvis is still the best to me he sold over a billion albums nobody's even come close I never will come close I looked it up I know they said that Michael Jackson is sold like 850 million albums that's good and the Beatles are sold a lot too I'm not taking nothing from these people but Elvis is still a once-in-a-lifetime and only superstar that comes around once in a millennium

    Interesting story. Elvis was old school and liked what he liked. He had a new girlfriend in Vegas and she came to the breakfast table without makeup. No siree! He sent her back to put her makeup on. Priscilla said she wasn’t allowed to walk around in Graceland without full regalia. That was just one of her many problems with him. Maybe not to her, but he will always be the King to us.

      This is the original Elvis's penthouse, but it is redone inside when Elvis has left Vegas in 1976.

Just another way of making money from Elvis sad but there are plenty still doing it

The sky villas" now on the upper floor, which are three very large penthouse suites, that were built in 1994 replacing the original penthouse (room 3000), Elvis's home for 8 years. All that's left has nothing to do with Elvis or Elvis penthouse! Nothing exist anymore.

      I, too, went to the Westgate last year and toured the suite. There was no charge. The young lady who gave the tour said the floor had been all remodeled. There are now three suites occupying the floor. Priscilla had decorated and she stays there in one of the suites when she comes.
      I'm very said the Westgate closed the Graceland museum that was there.

I recently saw an interview of Barry Manilow who stayed in the pink/peach suite during his run there & he verified it was once occupied by Elvis as room 3000. Barry said it was over the top ugly with pink cherubs & he found himself making apologies for how bad it was. Some visitors thought he did the redecorating to his taste. I wonder if the bullet hole is still there??
